To Do to Done

Vacation is over...sigh...and it is time to tackle my ever expanding to do list.  I have been walking around with this list cluttering up my head so it is time to put it on (blog) paper.  So here it is...

Master Bedroom:

- Find bedside table to refinish / paint / have some fun with.
      I found a great option for $12 the other day on Craig's List but apparently I wasn't the only one who wanted it and seeing as I was a 6 hour drive away on vacation I lost out.  Total bummer.  So my search continues.

- Move art.
      You may remember this art work I made when I did the surprise Master Bedroom makeover. 


Well, we decided to move the TV back into our bedroom so now it looks like this...


So I think I better move it to a different wall! 

- Put shelving in hubby's closet. 
       When we added the sewing machine / bedside table we instantly agreed that the armiour had to go. 


It is part of the lingering furniture from our original bedroom set that is slowly falling apart.  To make up for the lost storage space I am going to add shelves to my husband's closet so he can keep his clothes perfectly folded (cue the laughter).

 Family Room:

-Paint accent wall.
        The paint has been selected and purchased.  The necessary tools are in the garage.  Now I just have to dig up some motivation!

- Paint / distress cabinet wall art.
          I bought these cabinet doors at The ReStore and I have big plans for them.  The rest you will have to just wait for :)


- Hang new art!
               I bought a couple of great pieces of art on our vacation and I can't wait to hang them in the Family Room.


- Built-in bookshelves
              Now this is a bigger project that is still in the planning phase but my intention is to build or buy bookshelves to create a built-in look in the corner of the Family Room.  I have been reading up on my options but have yet to make a decision on which route to take.  But here is a little of my inspiration...







So that ladies and gentlemen is the current list running through my brain.  The hope is that now it is out there in the blog stratosphere I will feel pressure to get it all done.  Wish me luck!
