In fine art, there's an axiom about "knowing when to stop" before an image gets too busy. Maybe less is more in the house?

lighter:
It's a funny thing ....
feeling like I'm vibrating on the edge of a blade I've been walking on, mindlessly, but now SO focused on....
and ready to fall, step off or get yanked to one side or the other.

When.
To.
Stop.

Exactly!
 

Hopalong:
Pick "step off", because that involves a choice.

How's the balance for you these days, Lighter?

Lighter's life and Lighter's real estate projects.
Feeling okay about it all?

You sound good, but also maybe ... running in place?

The two ceilings left to paint.... got painted.  CHECK.

The headboards and room layouts were finalized in bedrooms..... headboards put in place.  CHECK.

Ugly closet light removed in middle of bedroom ceiling. CHECK. 

New dryer installed.  CHECK.

Firepits ready for guests.  CHECK.

Bird and wasp nests knocked down on porches.  CHECK.

Upstairs closets getting holes repaired/painted in preparation to receive towers so hanging rods can be installed. CHECK.

New alarm installed and working. CHECK.

I think the electrician or the alarm guy cut the power to the upstairs HVAC thermostat.  The weather's been amazing so it's not at the top of priority list, however.  Not sure who can trace and fix that problem.  The dock has no power, so that has to be sorted, as well.  Need to carry power washer there and clean off pollen and chairs. 

New lights for exterior have to be installed.  Will paint existing garage sconces if I can't figure out new ones soon. 

Huge mirror needs to be installed in downstairs hallway.

Much larger than huge mirror needs to be secured in down LR.  Would like to install a game machine or two in front of it, but that's icing. 

I still have to shorten some draperies and fashion a beautiful topper over a bed out of bed rails.... corners need to be mitred and maybe I'll figure that out myself.  Maybe the bored musical instrument maker neighbor will help us out with that AND a comfortable ladder/stair on the bunk bed.  I plan to visit his wife in Florida soon...... she seems so happy to be ruling over 2 hospitals and putting together her little cottage.  I bet it's lovely. 

The plan to move the wire shelves OUT of kitchen (served as handy pantry for a while) will move into basement mechanical room to hold extra bedding and Christmas, etc.  Will move the rolling kitchen island INTO the space where the wire shelving was, making kitchen seem much larger.  Cart can be rolled into or around the kitchen for task work.  Soon to be checked off the list!!

Solving little problems like transitions between stone and LVP.  Grout, yup yup yup.

It's overwhelming to SEE what must be finished when what I'd like to do superimposes itself all
the
time.

Like a mind boggling filter.

Jammies will be out of the dryer soon.  Warm and clean.

I'm finishing a video on using a router....BUT I need to fit a vacuum to it to avoid the dust, which is a bit bonkers, I realize. 

I'm learning to use a router, for the first time and it's on the bar edge in downstairs kitchen.  It needs to look ok.

Not worried, but not resolved to give up on vacuum yet either.

I have the will and really good tape.
