So I have this list of ideas bouncing around in my head of projects I'd like to tackle.  Just a couple for your reading pleasure...


1. Sew curtains for the bedroom.  This will be my 3rd set since moving into our apartment and I'm sure B is rolling his eyes.  This is the fabric I'm thinking about today - although it's probably the 5th one I've "thought about" in this iteration of curtain dreaming.  The only specification from B is that they be blackout strength when his daytime sleep pattern resumes.

2. Find a bench for our patio.  I gave away our current set last night to a lady who requested it through Freecycle.  Freecycle is a fabulous little site that allows you to get and give away awesome stuff for free.  I scored a Simplicity serger and a bunch of notions from a woman in Sunnyvale not too long ago and now I feel indebted to pass along things I no longer need.
3. Re-pot our hydrangeas because the soil isn't too great.  I'd love to find some wine barrels to use for that on the cheap.
4. Paint the bedroom - this of course would have to come before the curtains because that fabric doesn't match the blue scheme we currently have going on. Finished!  Our bedroom is now a beautiful Nantucket Gray by Benjamin Moore and I am at peace =)
5. Settle on a solution to our wine storage problem.  Our apartment is short on storage space so all our wine is being stored vertically at the moment.  I'd like to find an attractive horizontal solution that could be brought to a future home.
6. Paint B's old dresser for the bedroom.  I'm shuffling between white, off-white, light gray and charcoal gray.  Thoughts?


That's it for now, or at least those are all the ideas currently bouncing around.
