To Do In Lakeview

So our apartment isn't exactly "contemporary"...in fact, she's a little out dated. But we love 'er, and some of the ways she shows her age are charming. But others are simply inexcusable, so we're planning on upgrading a few things:

• Replace all of the mini blinds. (Lilah did most of the work on this project. She ripped one set in the living room to shreds one day while I was running errands.)
• Put up curtains. (Lilah helped to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.)
• Take down the hanging 70's lamp that's so low a middle schooler would crack his skull while trying to pass under it. (Greg cracked his skull & took it down while subsequently conquering his fear of electrical work. Go babe.)
• Take down the low hanging bar shelf in the bathroom. (Greg also cracked his head on this & took it down immediately purely for self-preservation.)
• Replace the "hardware" on the cabinetry in the bathroom. (I've started this project...I accidentally broke the toilet paper roll)
• Put up a photo collage in the living room.
• Replace the back yard light. (Completed May 21)
• Replace the back porch indoor-outdoor floor mats.
• Find an alternative to paint to bring in some color. 
• Dress up the front entrance.
• Clean up the back yard.(Started May 21)
• Start a compost pile.(Started May 21)
• Grow some grass. (Still in progress...But it's looking promising as of 6/24!)
