Focused and Organized

After my post after last night I did some praying and thinking and decided that this morning I was going to wake up and get organized. So I went to my budget excel sheet that I had saved and printed that out and headed to Lowes to see how close me budget is to prices and to ask some questions that I had about toilets and all the fun stuff!

I felt overwhelmed at the end and went home and collected my thoughts...drove up to our beautiful house and realized that I needed four outdoor light fixtures and they had almost the same ones that are on the house...(the people took all the light fixtures except for one on the top of the shop) So I had $300 for the budget and got four for $70 :) I was thrilled and then I got a shower curtain, the rod and clips for $15 when originally $50!! I felt so much better and the best part is that all of them were all on my list!

Next step is buying the taping and texturing supplies and paint- but we have to wait to get the keys before we do that!! I feel so less overwhelmed and feeling exciting!

Thank you for letting me vent and I cant wait to post before and after pictures to show everyone!

Chaos...

As most of you probably already know, buying a house is so chaotic. Don't get me wrong it is such an exciting time but there are so many unknowns and me being the organized person that I am, sure makes it tough! I realize that I am going to need to take this one step at a time so I don't get to overwhelmed.

• Pay the engineer who looked at the foundation of the house
• Save money while we wait to sign the papers
• Tape and texture spots on the ceiling
• Wash walls- then start painting
• PAINT EVERYTHING
• Remove the toilets
• Start tiling the floors 

Once those things are done then all the rest will take time but if I could have the cash to get these things completed then we will be able to move and start the fun process to organizing.

If anyone has any advice on working through all of this or a way to not stress please let me know! :)

At the end of the day this is what I have to remember...
 

Updated Lamps

So these lamps I got for free from someone who was throwing them away because they didn't like the brass on them. I took them with a smile on my face and had the perfect plan!! I went and bought some black spray paint and had some super cute lamp shades already that I purchased on sale :) I just love these and they add the best addition to my living room!!!
