2011 Home Goals

I love my home.  I always have.  My home and home decorating is my passion, my hobby and someday my new career (yup, I actually said it woo-hoo). 

 That's why I started blogging....

 to share the good, the bad and sometimes ugly ;) with anyone who cares to read about my "stuff"

(kids, ramblings, home decor, etc)

So here are my Home Goals for 2011

BASEMENT/STORAGE

(or as they say in New England CELLAR)

1. Clean out all the extra stuff!!!! I do not want to move this much junk one more time!  I think it multiplied since we moved in!

2. Change guest room into exercise room.

3. Update lighting 

FIRST FLOOR

1. Paint half bath

2. Paint, organize laundry/mudroom & add counter over the washer/dryer

3. Paint & add trim to kitchen island, add backsplash and think some more about painting cabinets :)!

4. Update Lighting (spray paint?)

5. Cook at home 90% of the time...

SECOND FLOOR

1. Update & finish master bathroom/bedroom

2. Finally update Ry's bedroom (a year+ in the works!)

3. Switch Madie's room around with queen bed (from guest room) & add new bedding & paint furniture

5. Add extra twin bed to Kate's room, rearrange & paint (maybe some new bedding too!)

6. Update lighting

OUTDOOR

1. Add bench by the front door/garden

2. Garden lighting

3. Decorative fence along the sidewalk with garden

Hmmmm that's a big list! 

 Looks a lot bigger written out then I had in my head :)!  But that is what goals are all about!  I hope to get the house in good shape by the end of 2011 so if the need to put it on the market in the next year or so I will be good to go, fingers crossed!

Oh yeah, one more goal....

ENJOY OUR HOME!!!!

You should too!!!
