House To-Do List

I like reading the monthly goals that a lot of other blogger girls post. However, I know my limitations. I can't commit to one particular month in which to do something.

But I CAN commit to finishing our home to-do list sometime between now and when we move. Good enough??

Whenever I show a little project on here that I have done, I always feel the need to caveat it with a "yes, I realize we haven't done this this and this, and oh yeah this" list -- just so you people are fully aware that I am aware of the less-than-good parts. House insecurity, let's call it.

To avoid this editorial necessity for future DIY attempts, I'm going to put our house to-do list on here so I can feel fancy when I get to cross something off!! Some things are fixers, some are buyers.

Here's the rundown, in no particular order:

• Do quarter round and finish thresholds for floors
• Crown moulding
• Paint the peely and chippy trim
• Paint the office (I'm sick of Builder's Beige)
• Get carpet replaced in guest room and office
• Sofa, Chairs, Other Seating Solution?
• Fix bathroom exhaust fan (mold, anyone?)
• Put in wood blinds in guest room and living room (peepers no more!)
• Backyard (don't we need a plan of action first?)
• Gutters (waterfalls are great and all ... )
• Fix water flow issues from neighbor's yard (again with those waterfalls)
• Fix laundry room layout/drywall holes/paint/exhaust?
• Fix shower door so it doesn't leak
• Buy new desk for office (for blogging comfort, of course)
• Switch switches (we're living with half almond, half white - tragic!)
• Refinish guest room furniture
• Buy bookcase for living room
• Hang curtains in living room
• Rug for bedroom (dog nails clicking in the night)
• More front yard landscaping
• Finish spraypainting kitchen cabinet hardware
• Repaint exterior doors

Whew! That's short and sweet! I'll have that done in no time!! I'll start right after I go out back to trim the money tree ;)
