Home Reno Update

There are areas in my home that are a mess....still.  I say 'still' because of posts earlier on this blog that show just how messed up things are.   It is very frustrating and at times extremely disheartening.  Because of my PTSD I have a difficult time following through with plans, keeping track of stuff, you know?  I just forget about it.  It is unpleasant to have a basement that is a mess and unfinished due to a flood, so I just kind of block it out.  It is part of PTSD and therefore part of my life.

Soooo...I thought I would use the blog as a tool to help get me on track and keep me there.  There are three main areas that I need to fix:  basement recroom,  my bedroom, and the basement storage/laundry room.  I would also like to redo the upstairs bathroom and decorate the basement bathroom.

I have done lots of work on the basement...ok...I have done some work on the basement.  I scrubbed the floor, moved around the furniture, decluttered and sorted almost all the boxes, and came very very close to buying floor paint.  Here are some progress pictures:

 

Things do look better now.  The walls are done and lots of clutter is gone.  This gives  me hope.

 

I took this picture today:

It still looks really messy, but it is organized  chaos~~really.

Those big boxes are all Christmas decorations~~truly.

 

Oh heck, I think I better go down there and tidy that mess up

so that it doesn't look so terrible and then

I will post another pic that tells a better tale.
