Updated House List

Back in January I put together a house list of things I wanted to accomplish this year. Since we're a little more than halfway through the year, I thought it as appropriate to update my list!
Crossed out items, obviously, are finished, but I italicized the items that I'm in the process of, or are coming up soon.


Living room:

• Hang a wedding picture on the wall
• This is in progress because I recently bought an Eversave Seattle deal for a canvas print. I only ordered one, which will go over the mantle, but depending on how that comes out I will move forward with the living room pictures.
• Hang and decorate with frame shadow boxes (I will post about these when I hang them up; they were another Freecycle find!)
• I did hang these in the bedroom, and there are a few things on them! My mom is bringing some things from home that I think I will put on the boxes.
• Get a new rug
• Hang the mirror (a gift that I haven't gotten around to hanging up yet)
• Done! You can see it in this post.
• Get 2 chairs and sell the Freecycle couch (or at least get rid of it, but I'm hoping to sell it!)
• Get a small coffee table 
• Just completed this weekend! I will post about that soon.

Kitchen:

• Replace switch plate covers 
• I don't believe I posted about these but I bought coffee switch plate covers from Etsy, to match the coffee theme in our kitchen.
• Get a new dining room table 
• This is not feasible right now, based on the space we have so I'm putting this off until later when I decide how to proceed.
• Find a nicer way to store our plastic to-go containers (please tell me I'm not the only one who battles with this!!)
• Fix screen door
• Stain deck (OK, this is outside, but it's off the kitchen, so that counts!)
• This may or may not happen this year. It is a lot of work, and since it's already August it might have to wait until next summer.

Den:

• Get his and her recliners and a couch
• We are actively saving for this!
• Sell Freecycle sectional (seeing a pattern here?)
• This will happen after we buy the recliners, of course.
• Hang Dark Side of the Moon poster (it needs to be leveled...it's kinda a pain to hang, but it needs to be done!)
• Debating whether or not I want to do this...it might make the wall too crowded.
• Replace switch plate covers
• I have yet to find something I like!
• Fix weather stripping on the door to the garage
• Replace door to garage? (I'm not sure if we want to or need to do this, but it has a doggie door that we don't use, so a new one might be nice)
• Since the current one works fine, I'm not stressing about this right now.
• Find better curtains
• When my mom comes to visit we're going to go shopping! Curtains are going to be my birthday present this year.

Master bedroom:

• Hang something above the bed (we have a big, empty wall!)
• Sand and refinish my bedside table
• Build a stand for the TV and DVD player

Office:

• Repair and rehang broken frame
• Mount speakers on the wall 
• We decided to sell these instead, to no avail at the moment
• Find a desk with more storage 
• Thank you Craigslist! They even delivered!
• Sell the desk we currently have 
• Again, Craigslist!
• Organize!!!

Guest room:

• Find a small mirror or full length mirror to hang
• Replace or paint dresser
• Spray paint bed frame white
• This is on my list of goals this August. We'll see if it happens.
