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.

The Littlest Apple’s Room:

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)
