Not too shabby!  13 1/2 out of 17 projects crossed off?!
And since it seemed somewhat successful last year, let’s try this again!




This year….

  1. Add new mantle, moulding to fireplace
  2. Finish curtains in son’s bedroom
  3. Refinish daughter’s dresser
  4. Refinish/Paint Secretary
  5. Art/gallery wall for family room
  6. Frame children’s artwork for basement
