The Little Caboose That Could

Woefully behind on house updates, I think it's time I 'splained what's what.

LIVING ROOM - Painted - ceiling and walls - Snow Ballet and Moonlit Snow (I sense a theme). New awesome TV purchased. Gas logs installed (I now want real logs - always want what I can't have). TO DO: strip and paint doors and surrounds, new window treatment, paint bookcase.

DINING ROOM - Painted - ceiling and walls, same colors. Light hung. Sideboard painted. TO DO: stripe in floor, new dining room table, light switch.

KITCHEN - Cabinets installed. Floor laid. Ordered countertops. New light installed. TO DO: build pantry, paint cabinets, grout floor, all the stuff Matt's doing that we can't, buy glass for upper cabinet doors.

OFFICE - Ugh. TO DO: shelves, rearrange, move out glass cabinets, paint walls/ceiling, new ceiling fan, paint bookcases.

BATHROOM - Whoa. TO DO: well, considering it's just studs and insulation, everything.

MY ROOM - Sigh. TO DO: sand walls, paint, install new fan, buy mattress, make Vietnamese colonial.

And I want this done by February. Looking at it this way makes me so incredibly nervous that I think I'll go home and start one of the bookcases right now.

I sincerely hope you are not rushing because of any impending houseguest (ahem). You KNOW I've slept in far less hospitable places. And there are always hotels. I'm just excited to see you.
