A List!

We're currently in Indianapolis for our annual weekend of Indy 500 festivities. Today, the rest of the crew is watching the greatest spectacle in racing while I get some veg time in the hotel giving the blog some much needed attention. First up, a little update on our new house.

So, we've lived in the new place for a few months now and of course, the ideas for making it our own are abundant. Right now changes have been limited to hanging our own pictures, replacing the kitchen appliances, and painting Eric's pale pink office a more studious blue. But what big plans (dream? delusions?) we have! Inspired by one of my favorite blogs, Young House Love, I've made my own personal list of things we'd like to do to this house of ours. Clearly, this is more for my reference than yours, but if you're looking for an explanation when I'm staring off into space. These are likely the things I'm plotting.

Without further ado, here is THE LIST:

Living room:
paint
find art/make something to hang above the couch
add curtains to windows
reface fireplace
add mantle to fireplace
replace light/fan fixture

Dining room:
change light fixture/add one with a ceiling fan
replace screens on windows

Master Bedroom:

There you have it. The list we may never finish! I hope to update this as we make progress.
