To-Do {hopefully before July 2013} :
- Finish living room built-ins: install trim, add "stuff" and style
- Install recessed lighting in the living room
- Build a new coffee table
- Buy a new mattress (hopefully soon!) and possibly do a reupholstered boxspring
- Install two new windows upstairs (oh how I hoped this would be done already)
- Add a linen closet to the end of the hallway
- Hang curtains and blinds in the guest room/office
- Buy an area rug for the guest room
- Paint office desk or find a new one
- Spruce up the kitchen curtains (trim/stencil?)
- Truly organize the kitchen cabinets
- Buy/build a faux mantle
- Throw a Christmas party!
- Figure out a bedroom lighting solution
- Paint the ceiling in the bedroom/dressing room
- Truly clean and organize the basement. Unpack remaining boxes, move seasonal decor and other non-essentials to the back storage room. Possibly paint the basement as well as the basement bathroom. Set up the basement as a family room.
- Revamp the staircase
- Add a picture ledge to the hallway with more sentimental photos
And now the Long-Term goals:
- Gut and redo main bathroom
- Sand down dining room table and wax the natural wood
- Add true built-ins to the bedroom
- Recessed lighting in the kitchen
- Do something with the laundry room: paint cinder block walls, paint concrete floors, organize cleaning supplies/paint.
Now what's a post without photos? Here are some of my inspiration for these projects:
