A week has passed, and the room looks virtually the same as it did last week. The only addition I made in the actual room is the installation of the base shoe, but besides that, all of the work for the space has come on DIY projects for the room.
The trouble is, I have a hard time focusing on one project at a time, so I’ve started about 5 different projects, but none of them are actually finished!
I have my strips cut for the jelly roll quilt I still need to sew.
I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit making knots around the pendant light cord. I’m 2/3 of the way done! The paper lantern in the image will be the top of my hot air balloon light, and I finally ordered the item I plan to use for the bottom basket.
I stained the wooden brackets and dowel rods that I plan to use for my curtain rods in the room. I’ll add a little bling to the ends and then I can install them.
I cut all the boards and started building the wall mounted bookshelves for the room. I need to finish putting those together and then stain them.
The girls’ new rug will be arriving this Friday!
I still haven’t started to build the loft bed or to make the macrame closet cover, but I have my plans ready for both, so I hope to finish them this weekend.
Here’s a look at the past three weeks:
Week 1: The Before Pics
Week 2: The Design
Week 3: A Fresh Coat of Paint
Well this is a bummer. I can’t actually cross off anything from my list this week. Have you ever made a list and crossed out half of the words because you’re halfway done, just to make yourself feel better? I’ll admit, my paper list has some partial lines on it…

I’m the same way, but then how good does it feel to finish like five projects at once?!
I also add stuff to my list just so I can cross it off. Make list : Done. Went shopping: Done. Besides, cutting fabric takes forever!
Oh, yes, I am bad about doing several projects at one time too. I get stuck on something small and move to the next. But to do it in only six weeks, you gotta be efficient! The fabric colors are beautiful together.
I’m the same way, I always start multiple projects at once. Even though you don’t have anything done this week next week will feel so amazing!
I know the feeling! I’m in the middle of about 12 different things right now and feel like I’ll never actually finish any of them. It’ll all come together! 🙂
Haha, I feel like I’m always in the middle of too many house projects! Can’t wait to see this room come together!
Yes, some of the weeks its hard to get more stuff done, but its nice to have 6 weeks! I can’t wait to see it at the reveal.

You’ll get there! It’s going to be beautiful!
I’m the same as you! I have a hard time only focusing on one project at a time! I’m always working on multiple projects too!
My to do list looks the exact same way! But that satisfaction of having a fully crossed out list at the end will be so worth it!
