Projects at Home

Only 5 more hours until the weekend. I can't wait. We've got a couple projects on our plate around the house, and this weekend I'm looking forward to puttering/working on the house, catching up on all the things we've let go over the past couple weeks.

Maybe I'll get some of these things done:
Finish painting our bedroom - I've done two walls, but i need to finish the other two, which involve moving our bed (ug.) It will be nice though, to finish and have a fresh coat of paint to brighten everything up. We've decided on white and yellow ( a nice compliment to our green bathroom) so it will be cheery and comforting inside, even on rainy days.

Order a new blind(s) for our bedroom and/or the living room. We have these old ones, that are fine i suppose, but they're from the 80's im sure, and are plastic crinkly and strange. I had in mind some nice fabric that would hang over the window but the let the sun filter through. I suppose if i was at all efficiant at the sewing machine, this would something i could easily do. But im not, and it would prob. take me 8 years to do, so in the name of checking projects off and not taking on more than i can handle, i'll probably order some instead.

Find a set of hooks to hang by the sliding door to hang our keys etc. on. We always drop our "stuff" onto the kitchen counter and i was thinking it might look nice to have something to hang things on, or a nice table of some sort by the door to place the mail and maybe a bowl on for our things. hmm, i will think about this and figure out what will work best. there's lots of garage sales this weekend, this would be a perfect place to find a unique and random piece..

Finish painting the trim on the windows outside. We primed them a long time ago and now really need to get them painted so we can open the windows and let the fresh air in!

And of course, i have all the other little things i want to do: vacuum, write letters, sleep in, eat something scumptious. I think we're going to make coconut curry chicken tonight - I'll buy the ingriendiants and Bryan will cook.
We're cool like that :)
