My giant checklist of crap to do....

I only have the dining room door that leads to the sunroom to paint and the dining room is done-zo with the exception of the floor, chairs and faux fireplace...okay, okay it's not done-zo it's close-o...I'm move on to a new room!

The living room.

I have to:
1. finish painting the trim
2. build shelves for the weird corner and stencil the back of that wall
3. make some pillows
4. put down new carpet or wood floor that matches the dining room not sure which yet (tax return time...)
5. redo the entry way
6. tile the floor in the entry way.
8. paint the door black/put on the new hardware...maybe a door knocker?!?
9. fix the front closet to hold coats and shoes
10. put a new light in the closet
11. fill the nail holes and fix the dry wall in some spots with super putty crack filler :)
12. touch up the paint
13. organize the office area/redo the license plate wall


Here are some inspirational pics of stuff I want to do.

mirror from Lowe's....maybe a birthday present hint..hint..wink...wink :)

in a frame or on a chalkboard by the front door

One of these setups for the entryway :)

all of these are inspiration for the weird corner in the living room...add function to  useless space :)

white deer head over the piano?!?!  or maybe in the dining room over the faux fireplace.  Maybe a mirror over the piano.

green pillows and lurve the curtains!

love this rug!!!

That's about the color of our walls and I like the crown molding!

All images are via Pinterest, I know big surprise!  you can follow me on Pinterest by clicking that link and pin-stalking me!!  I love it!

Checklist Wednesday

 Go check out my GIVEAWAY!!!

I am now dedicating my Wednesdays to the giant checklist of crap I want to do!
I feel like this will help with my decorating ADD or it might just depress me, we'll see :)

Please note that this is the overall list I would like to get done while living here for many many years---this is a marathon not a race!!

After talking with my super cool aunt, she advised me to work on one room at a time. She said I would get less discouraged about things not getting done because you can see the progress more easily.  Makes sense :)

Plus, each week I make a list on paper and promptly use it or put the grocery list on the back ---so I am saving the planet by putting it on my blog!
