However, here is my list of tasks left over from Living Room week that I have squeeze in too:
What I still have left to do:

[ ] Scrub tile flooring in front of French doors
[ ] Bring bar stools and rugs back in

And now for the Downstairs Hallway/Laundry Tasks!
Which, OF COURSE, will be made more difficult by the fact that THIS week of all weeks, DH is patching drywall, re-painting and installing new bannisters in the stairway that I consider part of this hallway area.
So it could be interesting! Maybe it is a good thing I have so much left to do in the Living Room! Ha!
