Morning Coffee: Procrastination, Super Bowl, & A Sofa Giveaway

February 12, 2022 · In: Saturday Morning Coffee Date

Happy Saturday! Grab a cup of coffee and snuggle up in your favorite seat of the house as we chat about all things home, life, and randomness.

Yesterday I was chatting with a friend while I was sipping my morning coffee and spilling the beans about all the things I’ve been procrastinating on. I have had 60+ containers sitting in my trunk for over three weeks, a mirror still in a box behind a door since early December, and a giant stack of more containers shoved in the corner of our home gym just waiting to be used. Not to mention that I also have two big renovations coming up in March, so all the supplies and decor for them are hanging out in the guest room.

So after the coffee was gone and my morning chat with my internet BFF ended, I decided I was tired of procrastinating. It was time to get some things done and stop stressing about my mile-long to-do list. So here’s what I did…

I made a list of EVERYTHING I need to do. Then I went back and highlighted everything I really needed to do. I quickly realized that I get in the habit of having an idea, buying the stuff for it, and then assuming it needs to be done. But honestly, most of the things on that list aren’t a need at all. They’re 100% just a “want to do”.

So I prioritized the list of actual needs, then prioritized the list of wants. That gave me a numbered list. Then I went back and wrote how much time each task would take. When I was seeing on paper that opening and positioning a mirror would take 15 minutes of my time, it made me feel pretty silly for leaving it behind a door for two months. I was able to plug in all the tasks on my calendar for next week and that made me feel motivated and excited, versus stressed and confused. I’ll update you next Saturday on whether I was able to stick with it!

Lela Burris Studio Kitchenette

What’s On My Mind This Saturday Morning

The kitchenette is done, the bathroom is done, and the craft space is done! And now that the entire Studio is fresh, clean, and new, I still find myself eating snacks in the floor. It’s only embarrassing when I get caught.

I got a new stash from Erin Condren’s latest launch, and I just can’t stop using these highlighters. They have a pen on one side and highlighters on the other side. I feel like an 8th grade girl again decorating every page of everything.

My MIL checked out the table I got from Marketplace for the Studio and we realized the tabletop is wood veneer, not a solid chunk. So instead of a deep sanding and stripping, we are going to experiment with bleaching. Have you tried it? If so, I need tips!

Super Bowl Sunday is this weekend, and our favorite thing to do is play Commercial Bingo. If you don’t have the printables I made, here’s a set of 4 so you can play, too!

We were all sick last week, and after we were feeling better I tried out this fabric sanitizer. I don’t know if it works like it’s advertised, but it smells nice and fresh and the bottle claims that it kills icky stuff of furniture, pillows, and other things you can’t throw in the washing machine.

Do you have a command center in your house? If you Do you have a command center in your house? If you’ve been planning on adding one, here are three tips for customizing it so it works for you:
1. Add a calendar so the whole family is on the same page about what’s going on that month.
2. Decide what needs to be stored in your command center and add storage based on those needs. Don’t worry about what other people use or keep in their own command center because we all live different lives and need different things.
3. Don’t try to make your family change their habits. If they’re used to dropping keys on the counter, a hook may not work for them. Instead, give them a bowl or tray to drop keys in. And if they’re used to sticking reminders on the fridge, add a bulletin or magnet board so they can put them there. Work *with* your family’s habits, not against them.
See the full project and get more command center setup tips in my newest YouTube video. All the product sources I used here are saved in the description of that video too. 🙌🏼

Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan o Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan of doing yard work. The gas was stinky, the tools were loud, and the garage was a mess. But all that changed when I switched to @HARTtoolsUSA battery powered outdoor equipment.
Now I love the ritual of cranking up music in my earbuds, taking all the tools off the wall, and the instant satisfaction of the yard going from a chaotic mess to a well-manicured lot.
No joke, our neighbor who was using a gas powered mower actually apologized for the “noise” after hearing our 40V Supercharge Brushless Mower. 😅
Between the HART 40V Outdoor Power Equipment and the Garage Rail System, summer yard work has never been easier. Find them all online at walmart.com. I also saved all the info to a Story Highlight for you too!

Have you tried museum gel before? One of the most Have you tried museum gel before?
One of the most asked questions has the most simple answer. Museum gel comes in either sticker form like these dots I’m using or in a jar. It keeps things in place without permanently adhering them to a surface. Trays can be removed for washing then put right back in with the same piece of gel.
🛒 I saved my favorite types of museum gel to my Amazon Storefront, but you really can’t go wrong with any brand.

If your jeans still look messy when hanging in the If your jeans still look messy when hanging in the closet, they may just need to be turned around. Make sure the booty seam is facing backward so all you see is a nice straight line.
Slim line hangers and arranging from light to dark shades also make your denim stash look just like a store in your closet.
