Our Endless To-Do List



While this is not our forever house we never run out of ideas, and while many of our projects will have to stay with the house long after we are gone, some will get to come with us  and all make the house a little more "us" while we are here. As a result we never stop thinking up new projects and learning from fellow bloggers and friends. Some ideas are little, some are huge and some are pipe dreams. Besides making us feel like we will never get to relax our decorating efforts, this list also give you an idea of where we are going, and eventually just how far we have come (hopefully). Each time we accomplish a task we will cross it off and you can watch as three more sprout up to take its place. The list has been divided into sections by the various rooms within our house, other than that the items are in no particular order.

*** Keep in mind that this list is not all-inclusive, just a random musing of wants and wishes. Also remember we have been in the house for a year already and have already done some work, therefore thus far completed projects do not appear on the list.
