Overloaded

Our entire house is beige. AKA blah. Now I admit we did pick beige as our paint "color" but it really is overwhelming to be in a house that is suppose to be yours and not have it really feel like yours. Our house feels more like a model than a home. It's not just all the beige, it's also all the rooms that are half empty because we just don't have furniture to put into them. This has turned my head into a scary place because every day I am making lists of things I want to do to make this house a home. And folks my lists are like scary long. So to help make us accountable and also get my thoughts organized I'm going to share the list of things I would like to get done. To help us out even more I'm going to highlight the ones I want to get done before our friend house warming (We are also planning on having a big family and friend house warming in the warmer months so our families can make the drive down if they want). This list is in no particular order:
  • Paint living room (Completed 1/12)
  • Paint the front room, media room, office, and our bedroom
  • Put mirrors in the hall and half bath
  • Hang toilet paper holders and towel bar/circle 
  • Hang curtains and/or blinds in all bedrooms
  • Re-cover black and white chair for living room
  • Put legs on the record player stand to make it higher
  • Make or buy a liquor cabinet
  • Finish media stand for living room
  • Unpack all boxes that aren't going into storage
  • Hang mirrors, shelves, and decor in living room
  • Buy an additional chaise for the couch and shelf for behind couch
  • Buy a bigger TV for living room
  • Figure out art work for front room
  • Buy Star Wars posters for Andy's office
  • Buy desks for Andy's office
  • Make accent pillows for living room 
  • Get big TV and the old couch up into the media room
I know that there are more things I need/want to do but I just can't think of them all. I think I may have to start carrying around a small notebook and pen to keep track of things when I think of them.
