~what's on the "LIST"

Happy Monday everyone!!

How was your weekend?

Mine was great!

 ~ with the small ittty bitty

exception of....

the worst migraine of my life

 so yes, lucky me suffered through this from 4:40am

to 12:30pm yesterday morning....goodness me,

wouldn't wish it on anyone.

but!

I am feeling great today! yay!!!

I'm waiting for the fog to clear....

and the sun to show up and I'll be heading out

for a run.....

I wanted to share with you my list and what's on it......

for me 2012 is all about finishing....

yep....finishing our house....

it's long

it's scary

it's overwhelming

but it's reality....

and I'm ready!

I'm not going to make you all tired

by giving you the whole thing

cuz it is just Monday

and you need to feel uplifted & inspired

not exhausted & disturbed by my long as

humanly imagineable list!!

but here's what's on top of it:

1) replace doors upstairs

we have many antique doors sitting in the garage,

taking up valuable man-cave space,

waiting for us to install

{well strip, and re-finish and fit

to our door jams}

up until now....it was too

overwhelming

to me to even think about

but not now...

now is the time....

to finish....

****please excuse this interruption***

where we'll be testing Mrs. Ticking & Toile's

good mood & patience today....

the toilet has just overflowed, there's an inch of water

in the bathroom, it has gone into the

hallway, onto her beautiful plank floors, and under the refrigerator....

and Mrs. T & T will (while attempting to soak up

the water) spill melted red wax all down the wall

and onto her cute shabby table, onto the floor & down the

hallway.....

~*~

where was I? 

yes, what you read is true....

um...how's my mood?

well, slightly dampened...

s   l  i  g  h  t  l  y...

it's all good.  problem fixed~

water cleaned up, waxed cleaned

up ~ just a minor diversion~

;)

sheesh.

ok...

we were talking about doors.....

I'm thinking with the "replacing the doors"

portion of my list~ I'd really like to strip

them & go for the natural, worn, slightist

bit of paint left over look~ like these....

don't you love this?

here's another example

I love how the worn doors look against crisp

white door frames...yes?

you like??

lots of prep work to do...

a little resizing to do...

door knobs to find & buy

{anyone got any they'd like to sell?????;) }

etc... etc...

wish me luck!!

Got anything on your list??

got a major focus for this year??

do tell! :)

Have a wonderful day!!

xoxo,
