Let’s start with the house. Most of it suffers from the same curse our landscaping did before. It is only partially finished. Sometimes it looks like we just moved in. I bet the model homes across the street look more lived in than ours. The only room in our whole house that is really finished is our kitchen and even that needs work.

Inspired by a gift we received at Christmas, we decided to start with the bedroom. Seven years ago I bought furniture that was too big and awkward for the space. Step 1: Sell the old bedroom furniture. Todd already put up the ad: http://denver.craigslist.org/fuo/2780461740.html.
