These words spoke right to my heart today as I want to completely redecorate my entire home...living and dining rooms, kitchen, bedroom, bath...but I haven't even started one small thing because the thought of being able to "do it all" overwhelms me. You are so right about taking small steps...breaking it down to manageable tasks...thank you! You have truly encouraged me today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107666613239321400.post-11706500586445002692009-09-09T11:32:42.077-04:002009-09-09T11:32:42.077-04:00I like that, Shell--to go big, do it small!

After panicking for a while I suddenly remembered the teaching edict about giving children 'small achievable tasks' and I began to try to see my problems in that way. You have confirmed my approach so thank you dear Shell-I feel doubly better now!<br />I think it is great the way you are decorating and it will be so lovely when it is done!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941415622199071141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107666613239321400.post-86930167263449652702009-09-08T15:53:01.990-04:002009-09-08T15:53:01.990-04:00Way to go Shell, you have the patience of a priest...Way to go Shell, you have the patience of a priestess! I wish I could be like that, one little piece at a time. I could barely do our shutters, a whole room freaks me out. Maybe when my husband gets home we'll try, this is the time of year for making the inside of the home pretty. OK, back to my no-commenting closet.Suzie Ridlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603343663483772145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107666613239321400.post-18806190533212844382009-09-08T14:55:20.831-04:002009-09-08T14:55:20.831-04:00Hi Shell.

I have paint that I bought early this year for my studio and it is still sitting under the sink in the studio, go figure. hehehehe. You have given me incentive to go big and take it small. Great idea, thank you. Have a great week.GlorV1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06789212398770555465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107666613239321400.post-29763584997581814752009-09-08T13:35:31.726-04:002009-09-08T13:35:31.726-04:00Yes, I have to break things down into small sectio...Yes, I have to break things down into small sections as well. I taught my kids to do the same, it has really helped them overall with school!<br />My hubby can paint a room in a day ~ no big deal. I just can't do it. Between my bad arm and feeling overwhelmed I just do a wall at a time. I want to repaint our bathroom, the lavender I chose is just a wee bit too purple. I just hate the thought of painting!<br /> I bet your home is looking wonderful ~ what colors are you using ~ I hope you share a photo when you are done!<br /> Hugs))Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567328524291216461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6107666613239321400.post-27427441003080315512009-09-08T12:18:45.503-04:002009-09-08T12:18:45.503-04:00Oh I always get the DIY bug as fall aproaches!
