Honey Do!

So, I've been a busy bee these past few days...though from the looks of my To-Do list, it seems as if I've done nothing!  Grr.
I am kind of tired of our living room, office & master bedroom right now.  Since a full redesign isn't in the ol' budget, I've been coming up with little &/or inexpensive things that I can do to make big difference.  Think: paint, stain, fabric.  I want to get all of this done in the next couple of weeks.  Join me as I nurse my blisters, poke my fingers & attempt to finish this list!
OUTDOOR
Sand & paint deck railing
Sand, scrub & stain deck
Spray wrought iron table & chairs with fresh coat of black paint
Spray wrought iron side tables a fun, bright color
Sand & stain old bench
Scrub grill
Weed, sweep & scrub front brick/sidewalk
Order outdoor fabric
Reupholster chair cushions
Reupholster bench cushion
Make table cloth
INDOOR
Buy/Sew drapery for 2 living room windows (either sheer/burnout white or pale grey on white pattern)
New living room rug
Make crazy soft fleece blanket for Derby so that she stops furring up the sofa
Expedit or similar for office area organization
Take down existing metal candleholder panels in office
Add moullding where metal panels were
Add removable foam core panels that can be wrapped with various fabrics or paper
Figure out if ghetto office chair can raise up
If so, reupholster that nasty thing
Decide on curtains to separate living room/office nook
Investigate new 6' x 10' dining room rug
Buy fabric for new curtain panels in master bedroom
Sew curtain panels for master bedroom
Scout thrift stores for bedside table
Rearrage master bedroom - dresser to west wall
Add new art to master bedroom - potential DIY project
Use dark deck stain to fix nicks/scratches on hardwood
Reorganize laundry room
Clean & perhaps paint hardwood floors in laundry room
New washer & dryer (long term goal)
