Well funny i just listed my goals for the new year and then i saw this post on Nester's blog with a linky party for our home goals. i had written out my home goals today! so it must be meant to be to participate =))) GO here to see lots more posts.
Our house was built in the 50's we have done a lot of projects from a complete kitchen overhaul to small projects like my daughters bathroom. i think when you live in a old home there is ALWAYS a project to do and especially when you have 5 kids and live in a old house. So i want to do several projects this year and here is a list of the things i want to focus on (i am sure my husband is reading this and shaking his head =)) So stay tuned for lots of activities going on here
13 things i want to do around the house this year (house goals)

13 things i want to do around the house this year (house goals)
- redo family room (finish entertainment center, add color, have carpets cleaned, just redo the whole thing) no major purchases required maybe just paint, accessories (and i have a nice pier 1 gift card for that)
- redo Liz's room- paint walls, paint bed?, curtains. she got new bedding for Christmas so going for a more "teen style" boohoo
- finish my room- baseboards, trim, find a dresser (been looking for a year!), something creative for headboard, ***wish list new TV

- clean all closets out get rid of what we don't love
- my bathroom- i hate it i want to redo the whole thing... doubt that will happen =)
It'll be fun to see all the projects. Teen rooms can be fun, too. Extra bonus with kids getting older is you can reclaim a couple of nights for yourself. We just had our older son babysit his brother for the first time last month so that we could go to a Christmas party. We were (pleasantly) shocked to find both boys asleep in bed, in pjs, teeth brushed, etc. when we got home.
ReplyDeleteYou're better than I am, I've tried to get rid of cookbooks, but can't seem to part with any.
Can't wait to see the kitchen overhaul...Post lots of pictures so we can see your progress. Thanks for sharing at the Nesting Place.
