Where to even start on this space…I feel like there is a lot to get done and this list might get larger and more complicated as this process goes on, but here is what I am hoping we can get done over the next 6 weeks.

1. A brand new color palette – I was going to use the current rug at one point in there as my jumping off point. You can kind of see how that played out in the white, teal and gray storage baskets. But I want to start fresh!
2. Paring down and donating – There are baskets and baskets of toys that never get played with, are broken, missing pieces, etc. The goal is to keep a select few items that the kids are still attached to and donate or trash the rest. We will also keep a few pieces for my younger nieces and nephews to play with when they come over as well.
3. Add desks – Or tables for a place to do their homework, have a computer and a printer.
4. Get a new rug – This one is all messed up and creased from the ottoman and I just don’t love the color palette.
5. Organization! – This room is a disaster and I want a place for everything and everything in its place. Ideally, the more closed storage the better and we can even bring crafts and games from the hallway closet and store those items in here.
6. Reorient the room – This room needs a new layout and a new space plan. I don’t know what that looks like yet. But it doesn’t work as is to add the desks.
7. Add drapery rods and panels – We love the windows in here, but I think it would make the room feel more finished to add curtains and some softness to the space. 
8. Add art – I can’t tell you how many pieces I have purchased at one point to use in the space. They have traveled with us from house to house over the last few years and never been hung. That tells you something right there. Either I don’t like them or I got too lazy to finish the room. Could be either one! Haha!
9. Add an accent wall – This is super vague because I don’t really know what I want that to look like right now. Maybe wallpaper or maybe a wood treatment? This is yet to be determined, but I want something fun in here that makes the room feel new and exciting.
10. Add other new furniture – This could be new media consoles or bookcases for storage, more seating, a different ottoman, etc. There is so much to still figure out.
