For my own benefit I wanted to make a list of all the things we've gotten done around our house in the past year....so feel free to stop reading now...because this might be boring...annnd here I go.
1. Dining room was baby blue, is now dark tan, chocolate brownish color.
2. Dining room light was industrial line from Ikea, one of their 'not going to last a lifetime' items. Light was replaced with old world antique looking chandelier.
3. Shades and curtains replaced Ikea sliding panels that didn't fit the window properly to begin with.
4. Dining room is so 'done' that I actually could and have staged it for dinner. The only room in the house that is totally complete.
5. Large accent wall in Living room is painted with same color as dining room to help create flow and continuity between rooms.
6. Family room is a soft yellowish cream color, better than the white grey that preceded it. Glad the patched holes I've been looking at for the better part of 6 months are gone.
7. Entryway is almost completely painted. I'm calling this a finished project because we are one can of paint away from it being done. It used to be baby blue too...or in some parts not painted at all.
8. 3 Pictures as of two weeks ago are OFFICIALLY hung where I want them and not just prehung because we hadn't painted yet and I wanted to see what they looked like in a specific spot.
9. Well water has been studied researched broken and fixed successfully by Dave. I think he learned a lot which is pretty awesome! lol
10. Cat door installed. Way to bring profit back into your home by craving a hole in a hollow door and inserting a place for animals to run through. Worst idea for resale best idea for Lindsos mental stability.
11. Office florescent light was taken down from kitchen and replaced with really pretty and simple florescent light from Costco...Horray Costco!
12. Entryway and hallway lights have gone from classy shiny butt ugly gold lanterns to simple silver lights. The chandelier needs to be replaced still but the old one is down, we just need to install the new one. Which I guess should go in 'in progress projects.'
In progress projects:
1. Kitchen cabinet knobs...gone....need to be replaced with new ones in drawer
2. Kitchen needs to be painted red, may happen this weekend.
3. Lavender bathroom is still lavender despite having the paint for over 6 months to paint it.
4. Living room need to be painted same color as entryway...maybe I could convince Dave to paint it Jute...one shade darker? Hummmmm.
Future projects not really started yet:
1. Bathroom vanity fixture and mirror need to be purchased so I can hang my cute art work in small 1/2 bath downstairs...yes I want an entire bathroom completed so I can hang a small picture.
2. All three bedrooms need completed but that's being put on hold till after Christmas and Vacation and way in the future...other children will play into how we handle extra bedrooms.
3. Framing, Drywalling, and Flooring the basement for more usable space. What fun that will be!
Just writing all of that has totally exhausted me. Holy Cow! Looking back Dave's done a lot of work! Maybe I should be nicer to him?
