I was up way too late last week trying to finish the first of three bathrooms in our house, I've just been so burned out since. I haven't done a single thing to the house since last Saturday morning. Putting a house together takes a lot of work, creativity and patience; especially when working with DIY projects and a small budget.

I feel like our bedroom is the next space to get the overhaul, but there are quite a few big DIY projects that need to be tackled. I don't see how it could be done in one week, unless there was nothing else to juggle.

I think first on the docket is to address my dresser. We sanded it down over a year ago, but I've had the hardest time figuring out the right color to stain it. Do I go traditional and use a dark walnut like we have throughout the house? Or do I go more contemporary and stain it a color? I'm leaning towards a color, but I'm not sure if I should use my fall-back, yellow. I'm thinking maybe an indigo or purple? Or maybe a light sage? I dunno. I also need to organize my jewelry above my dresser. I think that'll be pretty easy, just a matter of motivation.

The thing is with these DIY projects is that they require nice weather. Fall has really hit full force around our neighborhood. I'm currently in long sleeves!!

Let's hope I can get something done during the long weekend.
