i figured it was high time i wrote out my to-do list for this year.
last year’s list was pretty general; i had a few specifics like “paint this or paint that”…but really it was all over the place. Plus i had a HUGE renovation (new floors) happen so that sucked most of my money out. You can see what all i accomplished last year here.
so i’ve come up with a new list this year – room specific – and uh rather large.
i’m going to be 100% upfront and honest in saying i probably won’t accomplish 80% of this list – but i would LOVE to! I don’t ever want to be tied down to a list – i want life to happen and creativity to flow as it comes and goes.
so without further stalling – here is the 2014 house list.
+ new furniture/table (loving this one!) (or this one!)
+ new photo arrangement
+ entry rug? (aztec anyone?!)
+ shoe placement
+ batteries for smoke detector
+ new light fixture (i would love this one!)
+ paint ceiling
+ figure out what to do with chipping ceiling
+ shower curtain liner
+ new shower head
+ headboard
+ window treatments
+ paint everything (maybe this color?)
+ bamboo curtains over my bed
+ artwork
+ move out unneeded furniture
+ new sitting chair?
+ furniture placement…bleh
+ something needs to change – can’t quite put my finger on it, but something
+ patch holes & repaint walls
+ nix current wall art/hangings, get new frames etc.
+ fix walls where paint chipped.
+ organize cabinets
+ buy smoke detector (yeah we only have one in our house whoops)
+ board & batten?
+ paint!!!
+ curtain for in front of washer and dryer (like this)
+ shorten dryer vent tube
+ couch
+ hang bulletin board
+ art
+ rip up carpet
+ stain concrete (love this!) (so cute)
+ buy outdoor rug

+ replace rotting wood / paint house
+ fix fence
+ fire pit / tear down old swing set (dreamy!)
+ pergolia? (swoon)
+ set up patio space to be inviting
+ de-weed flower bed on right of yard
+ spring garden?
anyone else’s head spinning? most of that list requires some good ol’ fashioned elbow grease and determination (and a saw). Some things i will be able to easily cross off, others – are more of a “dream”. I’m realistic – that is a LARGE list full of a LOT of hours, money, and patience.
If anyone would like to come on over and help – i would bake you 1,000 cookies! 🙂
Go girl!! You can do it!! This makes me want to create my own house wish-list!
Wow, what a great to-do list! I looove that pergola (one of my fave pins out there!) and I also loved every single one of the other pins you linked to, too. You have lovely taste, my friend.
And I would definitely come help you! Seriously, I would. 🙂
Love it all!
// I love that color for the master bedroom! So pretty and you could do whatever accent color you wanted.
// That last outside sitting area is SO lovely! I would be out there every night!
// Aztec anything = good idea.
// I love the idea of the curtain in front of the washer and dryer!
Great list! Can't wait to see what all you get done this year. Whether it's a little or a lot. 🙂
And I'll take those 1,000 cookies. ha!
I love your ambition! I can't wait to own a house and stalk your Pinterest boards and blog for ideas.
I love that paint color for the master! So pretty! Looks like you have a lot to do!
Oh, what a great idea! I really should organize my house thoughts more. Thanks for the great idea!
This list makes me so happy. I'm glad you are sharing this stuff too. World Market has a very similar console to the one you posted for the foyer! I love the wood/iron combos!
