Since we’re always brainstorming and daydreaming about how to make our house even more awesome (not to brag, we just really love living here!), I thought I’d go ahead and make a list of all the projects around the house that we are currently hoping/planning to tackle. I’m sure a bunch of other stuff will be added to our to-do list as we work through the ones I list here.
