The BIG list

So, after making the little list, I started to think about the major goals I have for the house. I've had a pretty complete picture in my head for a little while, but I don't think I've written it down in any of my various notebooks. So here we go.

Master bedroom:

• Somehow build a bigger closet/improve closet situation
• Purchase (maybe build?) headboard and bed
• Replace dresser hardware
• Hang some floor to ceiling curtains
• Big ol' rug
• Some giant (or just big impact) art-ish thing above the headboard
• No more bedskirt
• Door hardware to match the rest of the house (maybe just a whole new door)
• Refinish floor
• Replace dresser hardware

Upstairs bath:

• Above the door shelf
• Pedestal or wall mounted sink
• Mirror collage
• Replace tile (this one probably won't happen, but it's on my dream list)
• Medicine cabinet
• Tile baseboard
• New door/hardware

Eleanor's room:
