The Never Ending Honey-Do List

As promised in my post from last week, I'm here to share the short version of my to-do list around the house. While our new home is structurally sound, it leaves a lot to be desired in updated features. When we moved in, we were surrounded by honey oak: floors, trim, doors, cabinets, even the walls were a honey color. We're slowly making progress a little bit at a time (read: what I can accomplish during a Saturday afternoon) but I still feel like I need a list that can hold me accountable to the updates I want to make and make me feel good when I cross things off. I'll be using this as my master list and I'll link you to any projects that I've finished!

I'd love to have all of this done in the next six months... and then work on saving our bones for residing the house (it's currently a magnificent MINT GREEN), eventually gutting the main bathroom, and buying new living room furniture. Six months might be a stretch, but I'm not one of those people who like to leave projects unfinished so hopefully if I can get a good start on some of these, we'll be good.

So, here goes nothin'!

Upstairs:
Photo wall up the stairs
Put up curtain rods
Paint curtain rods

Bathroom:

Am I a glutton asking for punishment by trying to do all of this in a small amount of time? Only time will tell!

    Those are a lot of tasks to be done, Sara. What I would advise is
    that you can follow a simple schedule where you tackle related tasks.
    This will make you less concerned of how much work there is to be
    done and lets you focus on the chore at hand. On your windows and
    curtains, I hope you consider getting professional assistance. You
    can check for more information and options for your
    curtains and other window treatments.
