Quaint Cottage Changes

I bought a house back in 2003. We have a sort of love/hate relationship. Given the recent turn of events in my life- it looks like this will be my home...again. How could I describe it...

Its a little two bedroom home built in the 1920's. It has beautiful woodwork and old windows and lots of charm. It is in a great neighborhood, within walking distance to great parks and the river. It is a quaint little cottage, and I will be giving it some much needed attention over the next several months. I have an extensive "to do" list for this little home, and I have to take it one task at a time.

This week:
1. Paint the girls' room - Ralph Lauren's Cowgirl Blue?
2. The gutter guy is installing new guttering on Friday!
3. The carpet guy is coming to prepare an estimate. I am having new carpet installed in the bedrooms. Any suggestions on brand? Type?

I have started a "project notebook" so that I can keep everything organized, and can begin creating vision using all those magazine clippings I have been saving. It will be fun to look back and see all the progess the little house has made. I will be sure to share pictures, and I will greatly appreciate any advice/suggestions!

Happy Tuesday!
