Before I answer that, I want to say THANK YOU to all the veterans out there, and to their families.
Now, for my "other" creative outlet(s)....
I, uhm, have a thing for painting interior rooms. I'm not an artist; I don't do murals (yea though I desperately wish I could). I just happen to like transformations. Often there's a de-cluttering prerequisite in the room I tackle, followed by an organizing/storage solutions follow-up. For me, the total revamps are the best of the analytical meets the creative. There's a tangible end result in roughly two weeks time (three if I futz with the floors too). The physical purging helps with my mental purging.
Redoing a room totally resets my brain, and a two-week vacation from the WiP vastly improves my word-count once I return to writing.
I think you should come visit me for two weeks - I have several rooms that could use the "KAK Creative Treatment" LOL! Good post!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Done!
DeleteI could use your talents, too. All the rooms in this place could use new paint, but I'm too lazy. I probably should've painted before we moved in. Now the thought of moving the furniture makes me think 'aw, those walls aren't too bad'.
ReplyDeleteI blame too much HGTV for my urges to revamp. :D
DeleteOMG, HGTV is remodeling crack. And antiquing crack. Every time I watch I either want to remodel something or hit the thrift store.
DeleteYES! And they make it look so easy too. Replaster a bath? No prob! Install new flooring? Easy peasy! You too can DIY your brand new kitchen...
DeleteOr not.
