The Ten To Do's

Ringing in the new year means ringing in a new list of goals. And when it comes to the house, goals come in the form of to-do's. So here is my first, of I am sure many, house to do lists. Keeping it simple and starting with 10...

Check out room pics here!

1. Finish the kitchen table ~ I am making good progress. Sanding is done, primer is done and the first coat of paint should go on tomorrow. Can't wait to share the finished product.

2. Find chairs for the kitchen table ~ I have a plan for this and hopefully I will get working on it this week.

3. Paint the nursery ~ My daughter is almost one so maybe I need a new name for this room since she isn't a baby anymore...tear.

4. Find or make curtains for daughter's room (new name not so good...work in progress) ~ And when I say "make" I mean utilize my sister-in-law's amazing sewing skills to help me.

5. Find an area rug for daughter's room to break up carpet and add color.

6. Paint " My Room" ~ Hmm what color will I choose.

7. Find book shelf and accessories for "My Room" ~ Looking for some good deals will be so much fun!

8. Finalize plan for Grand Piano Room, including paint and molding.

9. Read up on how to measure, cut and put up molding ~ Trial and error tends to not work out so well.

10. Jump right in and paint and install molding ~ Already so pretty in my mind.

So I'm feeling like this is a good list to get me started. Should all be doable on a small budget. What is your goal for this year? Share it and make it happen!
