TODO...

In addition to buying new bedding, curtains, rugs, nightstands, and table lamps, I also need to do some more touch-ups in the bathroom. The fan needs a new cover. The skylight may have a leak and needs fixing. I need to get new robe hooks, a new mirror, a new light fixture, and a toilet paper holder that matches the fixtures. Lastly, the grout color came out uneven despite the tilers' extensive efforts, so I need to do grout color touch ups to the bathroom floor. I'd also like to update the hardware on the french door to match the rest of the satin nickel hardware.
