The List!

Ok! I finally finished my to do list for the Fall Cure (baby steps, baby steps). It's impressive, even for me, and I'm sure I forgot stuff. Broken out by room (though I will probably reorganize it later so it's by week, here is the scary list:

    Loft
  • Make curtains
  • Hang curtain rod
  • Paint railing

  • Find frame for squid
  • Art for walls
  • Side table for couch

  • Pillows
  • Table lamp
  • Reposition track light
  • Rearrange furniture
  • Find a way to clean cobwebs
  • Window treatment?
  • Put Halloween decorations away
  • Candles (Or just tealight candle holders)


There are a lot of implied steps, like coming up with a furniture arrangement, picking colors, buying flowers, arranging vignettes, cleaning, etc. that need to be done in order for the above stuff to work. I'm assuming I'll do a lot of it in preparation for or as a result of the stuff above.

This week I'm going to tackle a few DIYs, clean, and create a style tray. I'll continue to use my del.icio.us tags to create my style tray and will try to nail down a cohesive look for the place. That's the plan anyway. My weekend will be lost to my motorcycle course (\o/ finally!), so much of this will need to be done by Friday. Eugh.

Onward!
