Like me, you probably have a list of things that you’d like to do around your house. Maybe its an upgrade, an organizational task or a redecorating activity. I frequently feel as though my list only grows longer. At times I feel pretty overwhelmed about the list.
So I decided to share my journey of marking things off the list with you. My hope is that because I have an audience I may feel more pressure to get things accomplished. The list is a mix of some larger projects and small organizational jobs and it is not prioritized.
As I complete each task, I’ll be sure to explain it in more detail and show a before and after.
Let’s have a look at the list-
1. Properly accessorize master bath
2. Properly accessorize hall bath

29. Cover basement steps in finish material
30. Have kid’s Thonet chairs stripped (2)
31. Rip out and re-tile master shower floor
32. Finish long Schumacher pillow
I have to admit after I finished making this list, the end product is pretty intimidating. Nothing to do but dive in and take it one step at a time. How does your list look comparatively? Anything look familiar?
24,25,31? Weren’t all of these part of your renovation?
I am so glad someone else’s list looks a lot like mine! We are in it together!
Amanda-At the point in the renovation when I chose the fixtures I didn’t know I would live there and the tile job on the shower floor is subpar.
i really can’t tell you how much better it makes me feel to see your list! if i bothered to write mine out, i know it would be very similar. this is something i should have done by now…maybe it would make me feel less overwhelmed b/c i could see everything? thanks for sharing!
Amazing to think that if I did one thing per week it would take me 1/2 a year to do it all!
I love lists. Sometimes I break things down into even sub points just so I can scratch things off. Otherwise it feels like drowning.
