Finish it already!

We have a two car garage, although in truth, it would be a darn tight squeeze to fit both of our vehicles into that space...On one side of the garage, my husband parks his car in the winter. On the other side we have our kid's "outdoor stuff" bins and their bikes...and "my" furniture and little odds and ends. You know, the things you rescue from a thrift store or buy at a garage sale to fix up, that never quite get fixed up...please tell me someone out there knows what I'm talking about!

So I promised my husband that I would not start on the wide plank flooring for our kitchen and dining room until I cleared out that space. SO, because a deal is a deal, and I'm not one to break a promise, I am going to start working on this.

Then I thought about the rooms in our home that are so close to being finished (at least for now) but just need that little last couple of things done. Things like curtains or one last paint coat on the moulding, etc.

So I'm starting (and am going to finish!) a new weekly blog post. Every week I will show you what I am going to work on, and then I am going to show you the "after" on "Finish It Friday!"

One thing at a time, I am going to tie up all these loose ends and organize this life!

So here's what I am working on now:

1.) You may remember how I painted my aluminum garden window this past fall...well, now I am painting our ugly slider. It will be at least until this spring/summer until we replace it with French doors, but I needed to do something about it in the meantime...




2.) I am finally pulling out those old shutters and finishing them!


3.) And putting some of this~




on these pantry doors~




and hoping they look a little like this~




when they are done!

NOW...I will at least have one of these completed by Friday to show you. :)

What do you think?
