to do

over the summer, i have a lot of projects, and few vacations, planned. i scrapped the plan to install pergo throughout the house, since i figured i should try to get as much mileage as possible out of the baby blue vinyl tile floors, even though they clash horribly with my new color scheme (orange, lime green, turquoise, and yellow), since the old owner left me with five boxes of replacement tiles. if it ain't broke, don't fix. here's what i plan to work on:


  • finish painting the kitchen yellow
  • install towel shelf above door in my (only) itty bitty bathroom
  • shorten and install second towel rack in bathroom
  • figure out where to store boxes that contain artifacts of the past (attic?)
  • window treatments for living room windows
  • install lighting above kitchen sink
  • finish fixing siding around new front door (purchase nails)
  • install soffit vents in attic (borrow circular saw from james)
  • find some kind of seating for the back deck
  • find a replacement back door with a window to let light in the kitchen
  • get the ceiling fan in the front room to stop squeaking get new fan for front room
  • install new shelves above washing machine enhance new shelves
  • get the ratty old couch the old man left out of here
