Item 6d is now done. After looking on store websites, Craiglist, Kijiji for ages, I finally found a sideboard I liked enough to buy. I will likely need to refinish it next summer, but for now it is okay, and is already stocked with my china and flatware.
Next up: new light fixture for the dining room. Looking for a large-ish drum shade in either a dark neutral or a funky pattern.
