Yesterday we had been in our house for two months. I feel like I’m treading water a bit and not really getting anywhere with getting the house pretty, so I thought maybe looking back at the past two months to see what’s been done might make me feel better:

• removed all old curtains and curtain rods
• tore up all carpet, removed cork tiles and laid floorboards
• new letterbox and house numbers

• mould treatments
• insulated subfloors
• installed subfloor ventilation
• installed positive pressure climate system
• added shelving in laundry and kitchen
• chimenea cozy factor for front porch

• installed book cases in dining room
• removed annoying tree that was knocking on our bedroom window at night
• removed weird blinds hardware in bubba’s bedroom window
• created a little play space for bubs
• tore out all skirting in bubba’s room
• tore out the innards of her wardrobe
• removed clingy plant off front porch railing
• bought two pretty rugs and planted some indoor plants

• bought new sofa and got rid of the old one
• removed redundant old yucky chairs in the backyard
• toddler proofed front door
• had pestman over to spray for spideys (was disgusting, and still is, it aggravates the spiders and they come out in FORCE before they cark it)

Ok. I look at that list and I can see now we’ve done a fair bit, although most of it is stuff you can’t SEE, or things that are functional rather than pretty, hence the lack of feeling any real progress.

Onwards.
