Well, my Projects tab is out of control! Our kitchen remodeling ended up taking a backseat this year because the floors went overbudget. So we decided just to do a bunch of small stuff instead, which will definitely make a big difference.
Hubs is taking the kids to his mom's for a week in April, and I'm hoping to put a big dent in my list. Here is the part of the list I'm going to work on between now and the end of April:
- Get trees trimmed
- Get crepe myrtles trimmed
- Mulch and plant flowers and whatnot
- Make a guest room headboard
- Make a gallery shelf in dining room
- Change out gold doorknobs
- Make curtains for formal living and dining room
- Make a memory chest for master bedroom
- Put in a decorative wooden beam in den and kitchen doorway
- Put in towel racks in boys' bathroom and extra room bath
- Board and batten or reclaimed wood on kitchen island with spindles
- Shorten laundry room counter (measured it wrong to begin with)
- Craft a Sunburst mirror for master bedroom mantel
- Replace gold faucets in master bath
- Replace gold shower in guest bath
- Put a chalkboard and magnet board in boys' bedroom
- Wooden shelves for boys' bath
- Wooden shelves for master bath
- Install new pulls for drawers and cabinets in kitchen
- New switch plates for kitchen
- Frame bathroom mirrors with leftover hardwood
- Refinish dining room table
- Refinish kitchen table
- Upholster wooden bench
- Get patio furniture
- Make a gallery wall in upstairs hall/balcony
- Change kitchen lighting above island
- Make nightstands for master bedroom
- Make a coffee table for formal living
- Make a bookshelf corner in boys' room
Let's see how much I can knock out by April 21! So yeah, game on.


Annie, do you have a good tree trimmer? I used Sal's Landscaping after the tornado. They were wonderful and quite reasonable. ~Janis B.
ReplyDeleteI did find a good one, but thanks! I went with an arborist that someone on my HOA message board recommended. I have a cedar elm that needs TLC, so this guy seems to be good for that.
