I'm home today, so what better way to spend the afternoon then walking through our house creating the largest to do list I've ever seen.
We bought our house in March and got married in July. Needless to say, we spent March-July finalizing wedding details, not DIY'ing. Lucky for us, we found a house that's in great shape, just a little outdated here and there - i.e. the Brady Bunch wallpaper below. Yes, that beauty is in our second floor guest bathroom. Please try not to be too jealous.
My dad seems to think that it's not so bad, but I think it just brings him back to his college days. Look at that cool guy.
Note the perfectly placed posters in the background. I guess this apple didn't fall too far from the tree.
The list below will probably make T, aka the house CFO, cringe, but here it is.
