CLIENT SHOUT OUT!!! Congratulations Brie on finishing your new bench!

Sarah told me recently you were planning another "for the dining area, making it console height to hide some cords" and get some extra storage!

Can't wait to see how it turns out!!!

So helpful 🤦‍♀️

Do you have a "helper" for any of your projects? Tell us in the comments!!

Obviously the power is off and I'm sad to have missed the part where he ran his tail across the outlet and my face before I started filming.

Inspiration to head into the weekend with:
Planning is great but at some point you just have to get your hands dirty. Take this as your push to start that project or tackle that thing you've been putting off.

For me, I'm starting the niche in the office I've been putting off because my inspiration means it's more complicated than I originally thought. But I know it will look awesome when I'm done! And worst case, it takes me a few tries to get it right. But that is the process and I trust it and myself.

What can you start that you've been putting off due to planning paralysis? Tell us in the comments so we can cheer you along!

Each project has blood, sweat, & tears. Have had lots of sweat and now a bit of blood. About to start the niche so the tears won't be too far behind 🤣

Also, friendly reminder to wear your respirator. You only have one set of lungs, be nice to them!!!

After a weekend of celebrating my sister (and a week of recovering 😜) I'm back to sanding. Every project is better with a dance break!

What song gets you pumped up to tackle the hard parts of a project?

Every time I get to this point I think: Drywallers don't get enough credit...

The weekend was a whirlwind but the ceiling got done!!

Wish I was able to stay longer to get it painted but at least the hard part is done!

Day 2 went much faster! Most places just needed tiny touch ups. The tape needed a full big coat

Should have been able to finish it but, not coming home often means last minute dinner with an old friend takes priority!

Burning the midnight oil to get the last bit sanded before the weekend gets busy with the actual reason I came home 🤪

Scraped, sanded, re-taped, spackled, sanded, and spackled again.

Just need another coat or 2 tomorrow and it will be good to go. Not perfect but so much better!
