The to-do list…

Everyone has one. Some are kept on paper, some in memory, and some are kept on list keeping websites. With 2 kids and husband who is great with a lot but not so much handy in the memory department, I have a lot of to-do lists. In fact, I am so obsessive compulsive vigilant about keeping my to-do items in order and on track (as much as humanly possibly) that I actually subscribe to all three methods for my to-do lists. Of course, since moving in to our new house, none is growing at a faster pace than my house to-do list though. Want to see read the grand plans?

• Repaint outside basement entry surfaces (railing and bricks)àamazingly, I finally got around to purchasing the supplies for this. Who knew I would need my ID to purchase Rustoleum though?!
• Paint wood posts to deck
• Seal driveway

On the horizon (12 month timeline):

• Assemble the playset for the kids (waiting on the HOA approval!)
• Finish entryway (more on that in-progress project later)
• Finalize the family room mantle/pillow plans…maybe new lamps?
• Buy or build a new kitchen table
• Replace breakfast area light and island pendant lights
• Hang remaining decorations in kid rooms
• Build headboard for guest room
• Refinish furniture in guest room
• Finish decorating master bedroom
• Change mirror in hall bathroom (bye bye builder mirror)
• Paint or refinish kitchen cabinets

In the distance (a.k.a not enough funds to do at the moment):

• Replace carpets on main level with hardwood flooring
• Decorate the living room (requires furniture!)
• Finish basement
• Add tile backsplash in the kitchen
• Add stone to the fireplace
• Install in-ground sprinkler system
