I'm a list maker. Yet I haven't put one on paper for The Homestead. Probably because it's massive and daunting.
Boyfriend was plugging away while I'm home visiting friends and family in Virginia, but we have so much to do.

Here's a little what the list looks like, depending on what Mark accomplished this week. I'll probably be too tired to notice tonight when I get in on a late flight, but come Monday, it's go time again.
--Finish cleaning off the wallpaper goop in the Swan Lake bathroom. I worked on that for a few hours last week, but didn't come close to finishing. It never ends!
--Finish cleaning the ceiling in our bedroom since the popcorn was completely removed.
--Paint the ceiling in our bedroom.
--Figure out what kind of window treatments to put in our bedroom. Then put our bedroom back together.
--Remove popcorn ceilings in the hallway and living room (which requires moving all the furniture and stuff back into the bedroom, so we have to finish that first).
--Figure out what paint color to use in the Swan Lake bathroom, or if we want to paint the tile, or some other option. This bathroom is plaguing me.
--Redo popcorn removal in the dining room since I didn't use water the first time.
--Probably some wallpaper removal in the Lace Room since Mark tore it up installing the dog's invisible fence contraption.
--Knock out kitchen wall, add cabinets, build bar countertop, figure out what to do with kitchen.
--Knock out wall between dining room and living room. Adapt flooring to the new layout.
--Before knocking out wall, attempt to paint over the paneling to see if that looks okay, or awful. The living room is wall to wall paneling and I really don't like it. But we're not sure yet what's under the paneling. Could be better, could be worse given the wallpaper trend.
--Get serious about picking our style and start implementing it. We're leaning toward rustic modern.
Yikes, that's just to-dos on the main floor. And it's not everything. Next week will be a beast. Good thing I took a week of for friends, family, shopping, tour guiding, farmers marketing and wine drinking. Breaks over folks.
