fess up friday - designPOST

Friday is here and it is time to celebrate good times. My friend Beth from <a href="http://www.designpostinteriors.com/" target="_blank">designPOST</a> has come over today to put her cards on the table and do a little fessin' up. If you haven't visited <a href="http://www.designpostinteriors.com/" target="_blank">designPOST</a> yet you need to. Beth know how to tackle a project and show it who's boss and she makes it all look so easy. A modern day Wonder Woman I tell ya. Her <a href="http://www.designpostinteriors.com/2012/12/harpers-nursery.html" target="_blank">daughter's nursery</a> is still one of my favorites- baby glam all the way. Take it away Beth...<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAsCiXP-mWOgPMOiR5xcx8bFcPAKBulnK28X1cD6iN6faMl7TiKmBbb_XYGCpR0blwwpAhTHhYmtVkNyGZyZTLFwk4o-2xILkzJPT3GgjwCVn3u1PTsI4ozdLZqbINUv4q9owtQopEL2hz/s1600/FessUpFridaylogo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAsCiXP-mWOgPMOiR5xcx8bFcPAKBulnK28X1cD6iN6faMl7TiKmBbb_XYGCpR0blwwpAhTHhYmtVkNyGZyZTLFwk4o-2xILkzJPT3GgjwCVn3u1PTsI4ozdLZqbINUv4q9owtQopEL2hz/s1600/FessUpFridaylogo.jpg" /></a></div><br />Hi LBD'ers, Beth here from <a href="http://www.designpostinteriors.com/" target="_blank">designPOST interiors</a> and I am so happy to be guesting here on Elizabeth's blog!  Not only can I unload a dirty little secret, but I also get to virtually hang with one of my favorite bloggers out there!  I am always anxiously awaiting Elizabeth's next project and she never disappoints!<br /><br />Ok, so confession time.  There are so many weird habits I could confess to but I am going to try to keep it relatively normal.  At least I hope it's kind of normal?  I have major procrastination issues when it comes to my own home decor.  I have tons of end visions and half-started projects but somehow other things always get in the way...client work, kids, The Real Housewives, life.  I recently had a client casually say, "I should just come to your house and get ideas" to which I promptly had a panic attack.  The thought of being judged as a "decorator" based on my own house scares me a majority of the time.<br /><br />Part two of my fess up is that the only time things do get done around here is when I have some kind of big event coming up.  The last time I tackled all of my half-done projects was right before my daughter was born last November.  And now her first birthday is rolling around and I am suddenly unstoppable.  My husband loves this about me, by the way (sarcasm, sarcasm).  In the last two weeks I have literally finished: painting and recovering 5 chairs- all rescued from the trash or Goodwill and all have been sitting around unfinished for months, hung 2 sets of curtains, hung a gallery wall, painted some frames, and found a lamp shade for a lamp that's been naked since it's purchase.  No lie! <br /><br />I am exhausted and probably won't have the energy to finish another one of my projects for another 6 months.  And the cycle continues....<br /><br />Thanks for letting me come to your confessional Elizabeth - I feel 10 pounds lighter!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">One of the chairs I finished under the birthday party deadline:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1yfxx-04TAdIt8WWo_sZJpPY1346hzzrXj0z9_QPldIJ8IHdfCiPQhLB_k5VbRMviuq5C7BXWeCFME_ImGhmrHusy_seRNLVEFnxqzlL5CXTuNLObqI3-1HdAx1UhtVHv9zilZmEcqS8/s1600/DSC_0179.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1yfxx-04TAdIt8WWo_sZJpPY1346hzzrXj0z9_QPldIJ8IHdfCiPQhLB_k5VbRMviuq5C7BXWeCFME_ImGhmrHusy_seRNLVEFnxqzlL5CXTuNLObqI3-1HdAx1UhtVHv9zilZmEcqS8/s640/DSC_0179.JPG" width="360" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">It looks like I'm not the only one who works best under the gun.
