I think I have a post titled this on the other blog (now private – sorry) about the adventures (and misadventures) of bringing our first child home. So here is what is on my list right now. It is titled;
Things I Really, Really, Really Want to get Done before The Call comes
- paint the porch railing
- paint the outside frame of the front bay window (15 small panes, ugh)
- paint the inside frames of the front bay window
- paint the nursery
- make curtains for the living room (it’s been almost 2 years with no curtains)
- curtains for the nursery
That’s not too bad is it? I have scrapped 2/3 of the front railing, and the outside frames. The outside needs a good wash. I have scrapped and done a primer coat on the inside of the window. I have picked out a colour for the nursery. It’s progress. Maybe I should aim for the end of April to get this stuff done so that when it stops raining I can start gardening!
We did have other things on the list, but they’re done! The kitchen counter is re-grouted, as is the shower. The trim in the master bedroom and LR/DR can wait. We’re going for function, not beauty this year. Besides, we have a little trip coming up that we need to be saving for.
