These last weeks have been quiet around our house, sort of.  Quiet because my husband is still recovering at home, which means I'm at home a lot too.  Not that I wouldn't rather be organizing for the masses!

Anyway.

Apparently I don't have the chops to relax with a book for days on end.  I get distracted by all the projects that slowly come to me as I'm sitting in my chair mulling over the rightness of things in our house.  Or wrongness, most of the time.

Every project begins the same way, I start price shopping and budgeting.  Unfortunately, due to a lack of income due to a lack of work, the budget is pretty much non-existent.  The good news is I've been able to move forward on all my projects because, get this, I"ve already got the stuff!  How cool is that!

My imagination is telling me you're asking "how does an organizer have a bunch of stuff laying around?"  Aha!  Good question!  The trick is doing the same thing I've done before, only different.

In other words, the paint I used in our living room is going up in our bathroom.  I love the color combo in our living room, parchment color walls with a light blue ceiling.  In our bathroom the leftover blue paint is going on the walls and the parchment on the ceiling.  My husband forces me to take good care of my paint brushes and rollers, so no equipment outlay.  Isn't he the clever one?

This has been the theme for every project taken on.  Having no budget forces me to think more creatively and use up what's sitting around.  I have to say, I might not be good at relaxing for days, but I'm awesome at little projects that cost next to nothing.

Life with a pretty bathroom is bliss.

Tricky Duck Tip:  When shopping for party supplies, be careful of buying holiday themed cute things.  Only buy long lasting holiday themed items if you will ABSOLUTELY use them year after year.  And you have room to store them.
