Much to-do about nothing...

I need to take a break from Christmas stuff and focus on what's going to happen in the New Year.

These are all the projects that have been gnawing at me - the things I daydream about. These are my zombie-crazies. And they will be eradicated this winter! I'm hoping this post is an ass-kicking into productivity. (It worked last time and I ended up completing most of the goals I set!) Let the ugly begin!

---------------------------------------------------------

1) Closet Messes.
Empty, toss-away, organize, paint. Yes. Paint.

Front closet. Gag.

Upstairs linen closet.

---------------------------------------------------------

2) Living Room.
Just finish it already.

Bookshelf and mantle need paint.

Staircase and stairwell walls need paint...

before, before

halfway there.

---------------------------------------------------------

3) Lighting.
Change it.

Front vestibule sconce, barf.

Outside porch light, meh...

Living room sconces.

---------------------------------------------------------

4) Window treatments.

Dining room needs drapes that exist outside of computer imagery.

Sunroom/office needs thermal shades.

Also shades without gross stains. (Came with the house. Don't be a hater.)

---------------------------------------------------------

5) Furniture:

I'll be keeping a lookout for a new coffee table and a rug for the living room...

Not a comfortable set-up.

The Dining Room table/chair situation needs help.

Gigantic dining room seats 4 people.

Office desk area could be cleaned up with a new desk top, painted file cabinets with new hardware, and a clean-up wire solution.

---------------------------------------------------------

And if I magically have extra money and time this spring, I will be all about:

- Painting the 3rd bedroom

- Tree and shrubbery removal

- New car

- New driveway
