- Yay! A new Series!
With Getting Things Done - Home Edition, I am going through my giant To-Do list around the house. One small project at a time. Some are decorative, some are repairs, some are maintenance, there is a little bit of everything, room by room, the entire house!
My goal is to scratch the entire list off by end of year, so I better get started.
Episode 6 - Fixing holes and spot painting in the dining room (with some artwork declutter)

Episode 1 - Small switch - Big impact. I am changing the dining room window treatment and brighten up the entire room!

Sofia,you have such a warm and inviting home. I love watching your videos.
Nothing like to-do's, that go to to-done's!
Wow Willie has really grown this pass year, I thought it was Edward at first! He's a handsome young man now not a little boy anymore
Love this series! Good for you Sophia, you are really powering through all the little jobs that needed finishing in your home. I always find it’s the little jobs that get put off the longest from being finished. So glad you kept the little fruit paintings as they are adorable and I have always liked seeing them in your dining room. As for the clock, I think the corner in which it stands looks like it was made to house it, as the proportions look so correct. I do think it looks neater without the paintings hanging behind it too.
Your house looks beautiful no matter how old it is.
Sophia- I have the same clock and over the 20 years that i have done no annual maintenance. i have never oiled the gears. When you do that task in October, could you do a video about grandfather clock maintenance. I never knew that the clock weights were different and why. Thank you for continuing to motivate all of us to tackle the little projects around our homes.
I hope I remember.
Such a beautiful clock. I love how you explained the weights, how they work and what fingerprints will do to the brass. I need to do this to my home too. I don't like things constantly hanging over my head either. Now that it's done, you can get it out of your mind and move on to another project. I love this series!!
Loving this series! The music made me want to get up and dance. 😄😍
Loving this series, fantastic job Sophia ❤️
Well done. Those little details can really make a big difference.
I've been inspired too! I've been taking care of those little jobs that I've been putting off. It's a great feeling! Thanks, Sophia!
Good job Sophia.
Yes I am very motivated. Thank you. ❤
Your list is getting smaller Sophia!! 😊👍 Rotate your artwork with the Seasons. It will change the look once in awhile. I did see what you meant about the different finishes...thanks for the info. I'm sure it happens more than we know. Have a fantastic week! 😊❤
I love the red walls i your dining room. Good job🎉
you always do a fantastic job Sophia.
I’ve been told to never use mail in plaster walls but screws. This has worked great on my 1941 home.
I was told never put a working Grandfather clock or a piano on an outside wall? Has anyone else heard that??
Never heard of that. Maybe because of changes in temperature but that was when houses were poorly insulated so that would make sense.
Also, humidity comes into play- if you have a barometer, it's instructions will say not to hang it on an outside wall.
Yes, I was told that years ago, but I think Sophia is right, we do have good insulation now. My own thought would be, if it is by a window with drafts, especially in the winter, it may be a good idea to not have it there by the window.
Yes,an old house that has not had the plaster work replaced and inner insulation added,will cause trouble with inner workings of both,also humidifier’s and de humidifier’s.🤷♀️Lizzie
Yes! I should think though that it was more important in yesteryears when it was maybe draughtier. I would still however not put my piano on an outside wall!
Loving this series. Good job!
You inspired me. The list is long (and quite old) but NOW I´m on it. We´ll see if 2023 is enough time. 😅 Love from Germany
"Well done" Sophia you did a great job!
Me: Hey honey Sophia changing around artwork and patching holes in the wall. Husband: Thank goodness you don't do that! Smart a$$ 😂 it's my hobby what can I say.
I love those two small paintings either side of your buffet.your mom did them I think? If you ever sell them please let us know here. But I doubt you ever would. They are lovely. The gold frames against the red tomato colour is gorgeous
They were a gift from my mother in law
@@mygreatchallenge oh I see! They are lovely I've always liked them against the red wall
Our walls are plaster as well it's about 2 inches thick our ranch home was built in 1956, did you know that plaster walls are fireproof well they take longer to catch fire. Thats what we were told. Very cool, the benefits of having an older home is never ending! I think the benefits outweigh the cons!
I'm laughing to myself....kids probably thinking...does mom know everything 😂
I kept watching the dog eating something behind you LOL 😂
That’s what I was told but we have a piano and the piano man (not Billy Joel) told me that was in the days when homes had no window insulation. Our piano has been on the outside wall for almost 30 years and still looks and works beautifully. Hope this helps
Wouldn’t it have been awesome if it was Billy Joel? What a story that would have been?
A job well done Sophia !
Looking good! I need to do this too.
I do dust behind my pictures when I take them down to clean them. Mind you, this is probably once every year and a half if they are lucky!
Looks 💜 nice 😊
🎉 a new video
I agree! Especially this series.
I don’t dust behind my picture as it’s heck of a job to put back in. I used to be a house cleaner and hated cleaning one house, as the woman would insist on each picture she had be dusted inside. She had a big house and loads of pictures.
My home in Amsterdam is over 100 years old, i know exactly what you mean. Rigth now i am working on my banister on the first floor its more work then i thought it would be:)
lath and plaster; the typical thing in old houses.
Good job. Now you can wipe that from your mind.
Clock looks better catty cornered
I need to do the same, not holes in the walls, but nicks and scratches. My hangup is going to the hardware store to get the paint, it has been ridiculously hot in the Phoenix, AZ, area and I'm hiding in the house with the A/C. I've never dusted the backs of my pictures, maybe I ought to take a peek and see how dusty it is back there.
I believe you can order online and have your paint delivered.
They look really nice where they are but have you thought about putting the small fruit pictures by the clock? 😊
I am torn about those. It woukd be ok I suppose but they are small. I am thinking about a small area somewhere else. They actually would look better near or in the kitchen.
If the artwork is not too heavy you can use command strips to hand them instead of nails 😊
Not in this kind of walls. Remember the hole on the mantle? When you remove the syeip, plaster comes with jt
