Re: what projects are you working on?
we just re-did our bedroom. Currently, I'm distracted by assembling our wedding album, and the parent albums....
Also, we're either trying to buy a place, or moving into a larger apartment..... haven't decided which....

May be putting in somethng new, a ready made tile display/backsplash for over the stove. I am waiting for it to arrive in the mail and see if I like it. If I do, I have to pick out backsplash tile for under my cabinets.

Same here. Most of what we do is to improve for a resale. And to enjoy until we leave (probably within 1.5-3 yrs from now).
Where do you plan to go? Same neighborhood or another?

Re: what projects are you working on?
We are doing my 'office/library' right now. It is small.. but cozy. We painted it a deep reddish brown. My husband built bookshelves flanking our window and put a shelf over the window to tie the wall together. He painted them in the same color as the rest of the trim (crisp linen .. kind of off white.) We bought a super comfy leather rocker/recliner to go between the shelves in front of the window.
NOW..
I need to buy a small white or antique white table for next to the chair and a lamp that goes with the decor. The room has brushed nickle accents on the ceiling fan and the switchplate so I want something that kind of stays in that theme. I don't want to go with too much contrast in this space because it is my relaxation spot.
Husband is now building a television stand for the tv that he will paint in the same color as the trim. Then he will move on to building me a desk and painting it the same color.
When he is done with the furniture, I will start decorating with pictures and whatnot!
Then it's on to re-doing the playroom...

Yep, the things we are working on are so we can get the house on the market.... We have so many things to do it seems like it will never happen.... Especially when DH "wants" (but doesn't need to!) to do it all himself, but he works nearly 7 days a week! 
We are casually keeping our eyes open in the same area, as well as the surrounding areas (Syosset, CSH, LH).

I wish we could put the house on the market tomorrow, but like I posted above, we need to finish a lot of projects in order to get it in sell-able shape!!
I wouldn't mind moving a little east (no further than say EN), but DH said NO! He commutes to Bayside and doesn't want a longer commute But yes, I always say he needs a handyman buddy so maybe they can get his but in gear to finish off the many things he's started!!

We're not as far as EN (it's 10+ minutes east), but if you're considering CSH & LH, well then forget my neighborhood.
