Recently my husband and I started a home improvement project. Now, like most condo/homeowners, we always have about 10 projects we'd like to work on. But the current one is one we've talked about alot and have actually designed and redesigned multiple times.
In our condo there is an aesthetic wall between the dining room and the hallway. Basically it is there so you don't look right into the bathroom while you eat dinner. While this is a nice idea, it makes the space feel cramped and limits circulation. What we are doing is cutting a whole in the wall, and putting in some wood shelves, and also making the wall a little over a foot shorter so we have more room.
I find myself telling people that WE are working on a project, when really D. does all the work. He cut the hole and shortened the wall, he is going to do some electrical work on it, and I said I'd help with mudding and painting. But those are just finishing things. I sometimes feel like such a lump, not knowing how to do these things. And the feminist in me wants to learn how to do them so I can be self-sufficient. Another part of me says, I don't really care and I'd rather spend my time doing something else. A contradiction in my soul.
I'll post a picture of the design as soon as I figure out how to post it.

Well this is pretty cool, kinda like you just move Seattle 500 miles closer to Ft.Myers. Got it in my favorites! David's design is awesome, Love you both!

It's funny you're writing about feeling like you aren't doing enough on the project. I'm feeling like I'm not pulling my weight around the house this week (haven't been home at all). I scrambled to get some laundry done to make me feel better...while my honey that just got home from work was making dinner (I suck a little bit...but will make up for it when I have some time). Love the blog!! Keep writing!
