Projects

This is a run down of all the projects we'd like to tackle in the condo; better known as...

The To-Do List! 

*I broke it down by item and room..excuse any doubles.

Lighting:

• Update lighting in both bathrooms
• Update Dining room light fixture
• New Ceiling fans (this one it a "if we feel like it" our current ceiling fans/lights in the bedrooms and living room are fully functioning and quality. They just aren't as pretty as I would like.)
• New light in the entry hall (I actually purchased a pendant for $10 on super sale more than a year ago. We haven't put it out because I am not 100% sure it's going to work. But we own it so we might as well try it. Anything is better than the boob light!)

Paint: 

• Bathroom(s) (can't decide if the guest bath actually needs a new paint job)
• Repaint bedroom (or just touch up and beef up the molding) 
• Paint ALL trim and doors (and by all I really mean every inch of it)
• Paint the master closet (now that I (Ian, actually but I told him to) ripped out the shelving the closet needs some love)
• Touch up paint in the second bedroom/office/library/craft room

Windows:

• New blinds all around (I'm lovin' some bamboo blinds)
• Curtains for the bedrooms
• Line the living room curtains 

Floors:

• Clean Carpets 
• Replace carpets with wood floors
• Update tile around fireplace 

Kitchen:

• Add Subway tile back splash 
• New counter tops (butcher block on the island and something else for the rest. This one needs some serious research and thought)
• Create a built in wine rack in space between wall and cabinets
• Update door hardware 
• Make pantry and laundry closet more functional
• New Flooring (prob not. It would be toooo messy to remove the tile and might not be worth it)

Bathrooms:

• Frame out the big blah builder basic mirrors 
• New counter tops (totally unsure about this one...the current counter tops are of the sink and counter in one variety; it could be totally worth it or it could be a total fail)
• Fix/update shower and tub tiles 

Dining Room:

• New lighting fixture
• New table and chairs

Living Room:

• Ceiling Fan
• Update vent covers
• Do something with the mantle and wall above 
• Add a rug (hmmmm...carpet on carpet...maybe not)

Master Bedroom and sitting room:

• Ceiling Fan
• Art on the walls
• Add swing arm lamps next to bed
• Fake out built-ins in the sitting room 

Second Bedroom/Office/Library/Craft Room

• Make this room more functional..somehow 

Entry:

• Touch up paint 
• Fix carpet transition 
• Install pendant light 

Deck:

• Add an outdoor rug
• Create a more useful seating/eating space 

And all of this on a budget! It looks like a lot but we're not doing it all at once and nothing is set is stone . We'll do as much or as little as our budget, schedule and life will allow.
