Weekly Wishes #10

Last Week’s Wishes

  1. Get Dustyn to fill out his Thank You notes. Done! I just need to mail them out.
  2. Continue with packing up knick-knacks around the house. Did not happen at all.
  3. Make the flyers and post around town about our house for sale. This didn’t happen either. The crappy weather and stomach bug hit here.
  4. Organize and Declutter my Photography Prop Closet, also clean our Master bathroom. Prop Closet still not done. Master Bathroom is half done.
  5. Be really committed to a better and healthier lifestyle this week. I know it needs to be a whole change. This went really well. I limited my soda, didn’t eat out too much. Plus I made it to the gym twice.

 This Week’s Wishes

  1. Stick to drinking mainly water.
  2. Make it to the Gym three times this week.
  3. Catch up on my 40 Bags in 40 Days. Since I didn’t get any done last week.
  4. Get everything done around the house that I have been putting off the past few weeks.

 The Nectar Collective

What are your goals for this week?

    The picture on this post is gorgeous! I started working on cleaning out my bathroom too... mostly working on clearing out the linen closet. It feels good to work on that. :)

    Great photography. Loved looking at your pics. Good luck with your goals. Wishing you much success with all of them. Last week my goal was to drink more water, I think what helped me was adding some lemon and mint to my water. Gave it a nice flavor and best of all, no calories. www.jadeblyssjourney.blogspot.com

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
