Finishing

I'm not very good at finishing things.  My husband gets pretty annoyed by my ongoing 500 projects, all of which are 1/4-1/2 the way done.  Personally I think its one of my many endearing qualities...or so I tell myself.  Any who, I've decided I need to finish some things up. I want to be able to say, "THIS room is DONE."  First up is Owen's room.  Why start with a kid's room? He asked me to do it. Simple as that.

So far its been painted...twice.  It was originally a beige color with blue, green, and white stripes.  Now its a neutral "greige" color.  I'm going to touch up a few places on the walls and trim and finish the floor. Oh yeah, we replaced the floor with faux wood stuff but there's a few places I still need to add a filler piece too. THEN we'll be ready to get going!!  Patrick installed a new ceiling fan yesterday. I need to go take a picture of the old one really quickly before the trash men haul it off. U-G-L-Y and tiny and OLD. EW.  (ok, just went to go look and I guess someone hauled it off. Lucky them?!)

So on the to do list:
-Touch up walls (where L picked paint off...because he's annoying..)
-Touch up trim while I'm at it
-Repaint door, rehang, and add new hardware. Pretty self explanatory. 
-Install new closet doors. The old ones were broken so I threw them away.  I like to throw stuff away.
-Redo the inside of the closet. I want to add a vertical cubby area in the middle with two rods on either side.  This will give him more storage space for STUFF. I'm also hoping that the bins on the cubbies can serve as storage for his clothes. Ideally I'd LOVE to rid of the dresser and put some kind of sideboard/bookshelf (think Ikea Expedit) to house books and toys instead.  That would free up so much room in his room AND it would be SO much more organized.
-After all this, the fun can begin!! We've picked out fabric and wall art inspirations already!!! Hopefully this blog will keep me accountable and in line!
