And on and on and on

So, it's only been almost a year since I last posted in this. I got the house into completely liveable conditions, except the two back bedrooms, and the upstairs bathroom. I don't know what's stopping me from taking care of that bathroom, besides the smell. Mom's cats used it as a toilet room for years, and there's still poop on the floor, and it just smells appalling. But that can be easily cleaned. The toilet also needs to be replaced, because there's a crack in the tank. As it stands, I could still use it for showering and brushing my teeth/washing hands/doing make up. But something keeps stopping me from working on it. And eventually I need to get the doll rooms consolidated and emptied. I've sold most of the dolls, that whole shitshow can be moved into just one room. There's still so much crap - clothing and accessories, and dolls no one seemed to want to buy.

Given that I can't find anyone I'd want to live with me, and the people I HAVE thought, yeah I'd be okay with you living here, have decided to just move out of the area. So I may as well make the smaller of the 2 back bedrooms a room for the cats. Put some carpet-covered jungle gyms in there and let them go nuts. In a perfect world, I'd love to tear down the wall between the 2 rooms, but that's a horse of another colour and I'm not up for tackling any demo right now. My main priorities right now are these:
- Replace mudroom flooring w/3/4" plywood subfloor, w/waterproofing sheet beneath
- Cover with 1/4" stain grade plywood (actually, paint grade is fine, i'm not staining it)
- Paint
- Strip and paint mudroom walls
- Figure out situation with sill rot
- Sand and paint kitchen cupboards
- Replace cupboard knobs and pulls with nautical theme
- Plywood strips as wall planking on exposed kitchen walls
- Strip and re-finish following furniture:
   - Dresser in DR
   - Hutch
   - DR table
   - DR chairs
- Wainscoting on stairs - could be wood planking w/chair rail...
- Paint top half of stair wall navy
- finish painting stairs
- fix the one broken stair?
- Rip up carpet, cover existing plywood floors with stain grade plywood flooring - LR/DR
- Same as above, upstairs hall, my bedroom
- Wood planking on hallway walls?
- Paint wall tile in bathroom
- Finish stripping wallpaper in bath
- Paint walls in bath
- Epoxy finish for tub?
- Reupholster my chair in blues
- Reupholster couch (HAHAHAHAHA? Cheaper to buy new from Ikea or Bob's?)

Thank god for Pinterest. I can search for any silly idea my little heart desires, and someone on Pinterest has already done that project, AND posted photos and tips. Thus, behold my ideas in pictures:

Plywood flooring
      Painted Dresser    
 Wood Plank Walls, from plywood    
 Blue/white staircase    
 White kitchen w/dark lacquered flooring    
 Not on my list, but bold pop of color behind books?    
 Also, couch surrounded by bookcases!  
I'm quite sure there's other stuff I've got on my lists, and other stuff that's shown on Pinterest. But at the moment, I'm just so overwhelmed with what I want/need to do, and the prohibitive cost involved.. let's hope I can find a way w/o having to work 60 hrs/wk!
