In an attempt to get things done, I kicked off 2014 with a big ambitious project list for the Borrowed Abode. I decided to share updates every other month. I need to post these updates, because seeing the list, and how much I have left to do, helps keep me motivated.
I finally finished the studio – so that’s one room “done” for now!

I should have done the sensible projects (rug & weather stripping) during the cold months, but instead I did the fun stuff. I think a rug is on the back burner for now, since the weather is warming up.
