Plans for the New House

Hi everyone!  I hope you guys had a great weekend.  Mondays are never fun, so let us lose ourselves in the bloggy world for a bit.

Thanks for all the love on my New Home Tour post!  We bought an old house that was renovated but it still needs some work, both structurally and cosmetically.  One room at a time, I'll be working on it until it resembles Buckingham Palace.  I'm only slightly kidding. :)

So, in case you weren't already bored on a Monday morning, here's a list of a few things I'd like to tackle soon... most of it this year.  A few items are probably not going to get done this year, but I'm an overly-ambitious gal, what can I say?

The Outside

Paint the front door

Paint the front porch

Landscaping

Plant a garden

Put up a fence

Buy a swingset for the kids

New garage and driveway
Add a mailbox

The Kitchen

Paint walls

Paint cabinets

Replace dishwasher - DONE!
Add under-cabinet lighting

Make and hang curtain

Switch out the light switch toggles and plates and outlet plates

Find items to decorate above the cabinets

The Laundry Room

Paint walls

Install cabinets over W/D

Remove old cabinet on opposite wall

Install shelving on opposite wall

Make and hang curtain

Coat Closet

Build shelving unit

Dining Room

Paint walls

Add pretty lighting

Make and hang curtains

Living Room

Paint walls
Replace windows

Make and hang curtains

Custom media cabinet

DIY art

This list doesn't include anything on the second floor.  Including that would make this list way longer and I don't want to overwhelm myself, over-ambitious or not.

I've actually already accomplished two things on this list... I RULE.  I'll share one of them with you tomorrow!  And if you're on Instagram, follow me and you'll see the sneak peeks of all these projects as I'm doing them.  I love a good spoiler!
I link up at these great parties!
