Too many options...

Now that the market is over my brain is completely on overload about what to do next.  I have several pieces of furniture to work on - a plant stand, another set of nightstands, a chair and cushion - all of which would be to sell, but I think for a little bit I need to turn inside our house and pick something that we have to stare at all the time to work on.  So now that limits the list to...
1)  Painting my office and finish decorating the room... I want a work table like this...
 and shelves like this...


2)  Painting the downstairs guest bathroom - no true vision yet...I just don't like it the way it is.

3)  Painting the utility room/pantry
I didn't know the scope of possibilities for a pantry or laundry room until I ran across these...
{show & tell}
Her amazing laundry room...I am so inspired by this to design a laundry room with color and flare for us so that we might enjoy being in there more...haha - but it would take a great pic.


Gasp...can you imagine your pantry looking like this ...
I LOVE it....I know I couldn't keep it that clean, but again it would take a great pic and I would make it look like this atleast everytime we had a party ....

4)  Stenciling the atrium hallway
I love the current color of the hall it's just boring.   There is so much natural light there because of the french doors - it has potential of being the "prettiest" spot in our house...so maybe something like this...

(Wall Stencils from Royal Design Studio)

5)  Repainting the living room or the master bath (the LR I have confessed already to Jerod I want to repaint, our bathroom not so much - surprise honey!!! )

I am loving this bedroom by Dana Miller who writes House*Tweaking...see how the bathroom doesn't scream at you and I feel like ours does. 
The grays and yellow...our bedroom is already gray but I love the contrast of the light gray with it and a splash of color...ours is gray with a red bathroom and the bathroom comes across more bold than the bedroom.  I also love the idea of the fabric closet door b/c in our little master bedroom there are four doors and three of them are all in a row and open into the other one's doorway - it drives me CRAZY...
6)  Build outdoor table - I am withholding this picture because it is so much in my mind and a combo of so many pictures...

7)  Spray paint outdoor chairs

Chairs that look like this...(except worse b/c they are hunter green)
Could be so much better in this color....right!?!?!?

8)  Finishing the desk and wall dividers for Jerod's studio - embarrassed and so sorry honey that it's not done yet...I got way way way sidetracked.

9)  Cana's quilt - well again I got sidetracked...the squares are all cut, I just need to sew them together and then take to the quilter ladies house to quilt it on her fancy machine for several hours...

10)  Painting the antique dresser for Cana's room - it's going white...We just have to haul it downstairs and into the garage - ugghhhh...

11)  Learn how to use my new Silhoutte machine and make some fun stuff - self explanatory and fyi I got it for christmas and i keep putting off the tutorial - not for lack of wanting to use it - just lack of attention span.

12)  Line the back of the built ins in the dining area with a patterned fabric - the living room/dining room need some work... - some color, some pop...it's too traditional and bland with too many mid to dark colors. 


The possibilities are completely endless....
Since I haven't picked or been focused on a project the last few days I truly feel blah...I am sick.

Well unitl I can decide - I need to stick to focusing on getting our eggs painted with Cana...she is going to love it!!!! 

What projects do you want to get done in your house?  Maybe I should just come help you...

Um, your list is sooooooo short compared to our house list. :( Sigh. At least my parents are coming in a couple of days and my dad wants to paint the walls in the kitchen.
