Home Projects Upstairs To-Do List
Reminder: Please don’t forget to enter the Thirty One giveaway and/or place your party orders by noon on October 30th!
I haven’t shared any room makeovers or home projects lately because I feel like I’m being pulled in about 100 different directions! We’re working on The Littlest Apple’s room. I also decided to change the Guest Bedroom to the Playroom, and the old playroom/loft area will now be a TV room and sitting area, so we’re in the middle of moving all of the toys around. My husband just started working from home 3-5 days a week (yay!!), but that moved our home office up on the priority list too. So here is the big to-do list (for the upstairs at least…I’ve got a whole ‘nother list for downstairs!). I plan to cross off, add to this list, and link up my posts as we make progress.
- apply poly coat to bed and headboard (goal is to complete this by Sunday evening! This bed is taking up our whole garage, and I’m ready to have this DONE!)
- purchase baskets for under bed
- art for over bed (I’m thinking about free-handing a painting of a firetruck and/or Curious George to go with his Curious George sheets)
- build rain gutter bookshelves or similar wooden shelves(and convince The Picky Apple that this is a good idea)
- Quiet Time basket
- decorative accessories
Playroom:
- finish cleaning out closet
- decide on color scheme and layout for room
- paint
- move Expedit shelf
- curtains?
- fabric pennant for over window
- purchase/build additional toy shelving/cabinets for toys
- remove closet doors and replace with fabric curtains
- decorative accessories (maps? globe collection?)
Loft/Sitting Area: (no real vision for this room yet…)
- hang flatscreen TV
- build/purchase cabinet and shelving for TV niche
- new chair/chaise
- replace coffee table

Home Office:
- declutter and organize closet
- declutter and organize desk (ours is black)

Bedroom Closet:
