To tell you I feel proud of myself

[Chickiwick]

My house is a bit of a state decor wise - combination of lack of time and money, and two kids with ASD who are full on.

This week I have repainted my living room, sprayed the radiators, and refinished a buffet I got from a junk shop.

I no longer look like I live in a squat and I’m now relaxing in the bath.

I must add none of this would be possible without my amazing PIL who had the boys twice this week.

I’m a real procrastinator, suffer with depression and find getting motivated hard but I’ve finished the week feeling very positive.

Well done, that is a great accomplishment!

Well I for one am impressed op! Well done and enjoy your lovely new surroundings x

That's so great! I don't know you but I'm proud of you 👏

Thank you :)

I had filled holes previously so there was a load of unsanded filler on the wall and paint swatches that my son had ‘assisted’ with so it’s a really big change.

I’m going back to the junk place soon to find a new piece of ugly furniture to upcycle.

YABU not to post photos 😁 well done OP! I need to take a leaf out of your book.

Wow well done to you!!

Well done! You should absolutely feel proud

I love this post. Congrats and you’re right to feel proud x

Fantastic!!!!!

Congratulations. I am in awe!

@Spookymormonhelldream here is the before/after of the buffet.

I KNOW it won’t be to everyone’s taste but I like it.

You can see some ‘filler chic’ in the background of the first pic 🤣

It’s really got me going - I’m looking at my bedroom wondering if I could get the wallpaper off tomorrow but I need to wait until I have another clear 3/4 days before starting a big project.

That's terrific! Well done. What a brilliant feeling to get things done.

Looks great! Well done! 😀

Well done!!! Finding motivation and energy to carry out such tasks is hard, but now you can reap the rewards ❤️

Well done, OP! Long may you enjoy beautifying your home — and (I hope) getting a chance to relax in the lovely space you’ve created.

That's great op

Well done!!! The buffet looks great.

I love that sage green colour, we've similar in our bedroom!

I love positive threads like this, well done for all your hard work! It's so hard to conquer lack of motivation so bravo.

Good for you! I'm proud of you too!!!

brilliant OP, well done

Fab work OP

That's amazing! I couldn't even imagine doing these jobs. Well done you ⭐️

People who think MN is just vitriol should look here - you’re all lovely ❤️

And OP I've learnt what a 'buffet' when applied to furniture means - new word for me!
