When I look back at all of the pictures, I can't believe we actually did all of that. Did it turn-out better than we expected? Definitely! Did we learn more about each other through the process? Absolutely! Did we surprise ourselves? Yes. Did we have opposing ways of facing the different tasks? For sure. Did we learn tricks and things not to do next time? A million times over. Do we have a finished product that is personal to us and demonstrates team-work? Most definitely.
As people, I think it is good to stretch ourselves, to create big plans, AND to follow through with them. I know that not all of those components are always possible but every once in while, go ahead, surprise yourself and tackle something that seems a little 'big'. I remember after taking-out all of the ugly, green and brown backsplash and then the old laminate countertops, that it became real to us that there was no turning-back. We were in deep and we had to finish with the master plan. In a way, that was a great place to be. It pushed us forward and helped us in following through to our finished product, together.
So, with this new year upon us, my transcending thought from this project would be to stretch myself, dream big, and follow through with it!
