My mind reels a hundred miles a minute when it comes to crafty creativity and home improvement projects. Just when I think I'm on a roll with one thing, another idea comes floating along and throws me completely off course! Try as I might, I"m constantly jumping from one thing to the next, already planning the next project before the current one is complete. What can I say?? I've got a LOT of ideas flowing through me!
I've decided to dedicate a space to be held accountable for my ever-growing and ever-changing To-Do List. Keep checking back to see what progress I've made and just what kind of shenanigans I'll get myself (and my husband) into next!
In no particular order:
-Kitchen
-
paint and install trim moulding around countertop
-
finish grouting the backsplash
-
paint cabinets a fresh coat of white
-
prime and paint existing door hinges
-
consider painting entire room a new color (I know, I know, I'm crazy) Changed my mind
-
seal the countertops and backsplash
-
purchase a stove hood
-Bathroom
-
fill in the nail holes on the baseboard and new crown moulding
-
give crown moulding a second coat of paint
-
touch up paint on door trim and around hinges (that I never finished back in....April 2011)
-Paint/affix paper to staircase risers leading upstairs. That all wood staircase just seems dark and cave-like to me every time I look at it.
-Dresser found by the side of the road
-
finish staining the drawers
-
apply 2 coats of polyurethane
-
clean up inside of drawers with new drawer liners
-
attach new crystal knobs
-
find it a home!
-Fix the legs on the wobbly coffee table that broke 3 months ago. Shameful!
-Fix up the nightstand for Dan's side of the bed that I bought over the summer for $10 at an estate sale.
-Clean up my atrocious looking studio! That room has been untouched since before our wedding - in OCTOBER!
-Finish Mima Schreiner's chairs she gave me over a year ago to "work my magic" on.
-Build custom bookshelves for the office to house our intense amount of books (that now reside in piles in the basement).
-Tackle the assortment of chairs that have taken up residence in the basement. Unfortunately, I threw most of them out...must be choosy when working with limited space.
-Work on the outdoor lighting idea I have for the back patio this summer.
-Make up plans for our spring/early summer project - redoing the back porch. Cancelled due to the fact we would rather go to Ireland for vacation than build on a porch...underestimated how much it would cost.
-Fix/install new front porch light
-Fix up console table I got for FREE from a client
-I actually have a plan for this and am pretty excited about it!!
