Resolutions Update - House Stuff

Resolution No. 11: Work in the yard. Clean out back yard. DIY Landscaping - Although we've made much progress.... still much is needed. We did clean out the back yard a few weekends ago.. and next to filing our taxes, I'd say it was a priority for this weekend. Yesterday we had someone come and basically scalp... or mow the weeds, edge and clean out the beds... Hopefully we can make even more progress this weekend. Better start looking for a mower on craigslist

Resolution No. 30: Buy a dining room set. Create a dining room that will be physically and conceptually the center of our home. During my most recent Canton trip.. I found the inspiration for this room... It's in pretty much the exact same condition it was when we bought it... Taupe walls, ugly white tile floors... we've added a cherry wood color hand-me-down dining room table from Teri and a Crate Kennel for our 8-year old black lab puppy. SO.. here's what I'm thinking. Goal: To be completed 100% by Thanksgiving
1) Hang Stained Glass Pendant Lamp
2) Purchase Wood Hutch, Preferably two-toned, dark wood with white interior walls/shelving
3) Paint Current hand-me-down table glossy white
4) Purchase Blue&White, Gray&White or Black&White geometric rug
5) Reupholster current hand-me-down chairs with Blue&White themed fabric
6) Paint Walls White
7) Purchase/Hang Art
8) Possibly purchase narrow buffet or bench
