An updated TO-DO list


I've been getting frustrated lately because I feel like we are SO far away from having a completed, decorated house. I've added quite a few things to the list since we first sat down to put it all on paper which hasn't helped my frustration.

But after looking at this list, I feel really good about our accomplishments. We worked our tails off this summer and all of the crossed-out tasks help me see that!

Add new table top and repaint Belk table (black)
