Although there are plenty of undone/unfinished projects in my house, I really wanted to challenge myself and do a project that I have been putting off. Since this party is the exact type of motivation I need to get my act together I picked my children's table and chairs that I keep in the kitchen. The deal is you pick a project that you have been procrastinating on, show it to everyone and then in 2 weeks show the completed project.
Before:
The story on this table. My daughter received this as a gift when she was 18 months old from her Nana and Dah and they got it at Ikea unfinished. Well, I painted it a fish theme and quickly got tired of it and painted it white. Then it sat primer white for about a year. Then I decided I was going to make it a chalkboard table. Well, good idea in theory but I am not a big fan of chalk dust in my house. Especially, when my child can make a fresh piece of chalk into a nub in 2 minutes. Now I believe all children's chalk belongs on the sidewalk.
Here it sits in my kitchen undone, untidy for almost 2.5 years. From afar it looks okay but up close it is a mess. I am challenging myself to get this painted!! I can do it!! I just need an idea. Anyone have a good idea to pass along? I would really appreciate it.
I am such a slacker!! I just realized I have even posted about my procrastinated painting projects!! Even more reason to get this done!!
Stay tuned!!! In two weeks (even though I will not be in town for any of weekends during that time) I will have this done!! I am off to find inspiration from someone out there!!
Good luck to all of the other procrastinators out there participating in the Procrastinators Party!! We can do it!!
