Like my Grandma Christine and my mother before me, I like to make lists. I don't always do all or any of what is on my list. But, I like getting all my thoughts in order in one place. Hence, the baby name list snafu. That wasn't really for all your consumption, really just for me to keep them in one place. Tangent: I was reading Freakonomics last night and there was a whole theory about success and the baby name you choose. Gah.
Anyway, I had a latte after work last night and I should not have. I just never learn to not drink caffeine after noon. So, I couldn't fall asleep and I couldn't get my head to stop planning all the things I want to do to our house. Here's a list of what I can remember:
Paint trim white throughout house.
Living Room
Organize the front closet. Add shoe rack.
Get a big nice rug for the front door.
Change all the brown accessories and art to not brown (this includes recovering pillows and switching out some pictures).
Try a new furniture arrangement in LR with MORE furniture.
Move DVDs to new shelf, move book shelf downstairs?
Put out/organize CDs in shelves
Put piano somewhere? Under the West window?
Hang guitars on the wall.
Paint mirror frame.

Paint kitchen cabinets white or grey.

Get/make hanging spice rack.
