To do list

I am a list maker. Almost to the point that I should be going to meetings, does LMA exist? I firmly believe that lists get things done, there is something almost exhilarating about checking something off, a definite sense of accomplishment. That being said, B and I are desperately in need of feeling like we've accomplished anything other than watching Pitch Perfect 3 times in 2 days. Side note... we don't know how that happened, we only watched it for the songs! And the slightly-cuter-Dane-Cook-10-years ago lookalike. But seriously, we have so much we still want to do that it is getting a little overwhelming. So.... our to do list, and it is a doozy.

Master Closet (how are we not done yet??)
- find darker divided hamper
- add hooks to hang belts/ scarves
- decide if we're removing the closet door
- stain dresser and add new pulls
- jewelry box

Master Bathroom
- decide on paint color (finally)
- paint
- buy new bathroom textiles
- install shelving in water closet
- frame mirror/ install new mirror(s)
- hooks for towels (if closet door is removed)

Master Bedroom
- curtains
- bedside tables
- lamps for bedside tables
- new ceiling fan
- dresser for tv/ extra storage
- bench/ ottoman for end of bed
- artwork/ picture collage

Kitchen/ Dining Room
- dining room table and chairs
- rug?
- paint island
- curtains

Living Room
-buy loveseat and chaise
- coffee table
- curtains
- entertainment center/ fireplace

Laundry Room
- decide on paint color
- paint
- organize!

The guest bedroom, bathroom and both offices are pretty much blank slates right now. We haven't discussed at all what we want to do with those, so no list yet. We're also refinishing all of the door hardware to oil rub bronze from the boring standard brass. Long term, we'd like to stain all of the cabinets and repaint all of the interior doors, hopefully within the next six months.

Outside we have this huge, leafy tree, you can kind of see it in the middle of the yard there. It clogs our pool filter with leaves on a daily basis. We are so done with it. Plus for our fur baby it'd be nice to have some more yard. The cost of tree removal, and more so stump grinding, is a bit of a deterrent right now, but we'd love to have that out by the end of summer.

Looks like we have our work cut out for us!
