My plan is to work on these throughout 2010, NOT all at once as I seem to expect these types of things to happen. This will be the year of patience...I hope! ; )
Here's my running list as of today:
- Pottery Barn-inspired typewriter key wall decor for dining room {like this one seen on Susie Harris's blog}
to go here {I think I'll do the background antique white}:
- Dining room light fixture - spray paint
- Office chair - spray paint and recover
- Office bulletin board {possibly similar to this one at Ballard Designs...a magnetic, burlap-covered one}
- Office - cover crate that printer is on {and organize the cords!!!}
{looking at it from this picture, I think I may even just skirt the desk or something like that...this is pretty BAD!!!} - Office - paint dresser {?}
- Office - new comforter/sheets {also serves as a guest room}
- Office - new curtain
- Family room - new curtains
- Family room - recover Grandma's old chair
- Family room - book wreath inspired by Living with Lindsay {will go over chair above)
- Master Bedroom - paint dresser {white/cream with black hardware?}

- Master Bedroom - Add molding to headboard
- Master Bedroom - rearrange layout
- Master Bedroom - decor for empty wall {it's big and BARE! Inspiration & ideas welcome! Our bedroom is small, so I want to keep it S.I.M.P.L.E.!!!}
- Master Bedroom - new comforter & sheets {Pottery Barn ??? - or something similar}

- Anna's room - light blue paint to replace red
- Anna's room - white "A Child's Year" silhouettes {my mom has a Cricut Expressions machine and I want to put up vinyl silhouettes around the bottom color...think the pink bunnies in Michelle Tanner's room on "Full House"...for you 80s/90s sitcom fans}
- Anna's room - wall decor
- Dining room - chair covers {?}
Ballard Designs' latest catalog had an embroidered parson chair slipcover that I love and think would be great for our dining room {photo courtesy Ballard Designs}
- Living room/Dining room - CURTAINS
{Ugh. They're awful. They came with the house and we just kept them becuase they were great at blocking the light. Now that I'm trying to beef up our decor from hand-me-down-chic to actual "grown-up" decor, they're just not working for me. That, and our living room/dining room is WAY too dark. I need to brighten things up!} - Kitchen - mail organizer for side of fridge {something like this one on Craftzine, but I don't sew. We'll see!}
- Kitchen - replace linoleum
- Kitchen - wall decor
- Kitchen - new curtains
- Two thumb back chairs - paint {add covered seat to black one}
{pretty rough, huh?!}
