A Tiny Home Improvement

A tiny home improvement Can instill a sense of pride For your efforts are apparent And results can’t be denied. Taking charge and getting started Are the hardest things to do, But if things go as you’ve planned them, All the credit goes to you. So today I finally tackled Unattractive kitchen shelves, Adding bright new contact paper Meant for folks to do themselves. Every item got a cleaning And a bunch of things got tossed And the finished project’s worthy Of the hours that it cost. Just a minor home improvement Yet I gave myself a gift With some freshly covered shelving And a lovely spirit lift.

Aren't they fun,? those projects. Throwing stuff out is my favorite part, when cleaning out old things that everybody has forgotten about. Knowing where to start is the hard part I'm glad your spirit had a boost, its a wonderful feeling.
