first off, i want to take time and decorate my home in a pleasing manner. i have started a list that i want to be able to mark off at least one thing a week, of things i need to decorate. getting one thing a week seems like a good plan. i started last week by getting a lamp, and each week i plan to buy 1 item to decorate with. i need to get the following items: another lamp, slip covers for sofas, new pictures for the walls, new rug for the living room, a new coffee table, a new stove, bar stools for the kitchen, new curtains, a folding privacy screen and a book shelf. i hope to have this accomplished by spring, or at least nearly finished.
