Our house has needed some updating for quite a while. We've lived here for over 16 years and have done very little to it. As you might remember from my last listbliss, I completed Decorate my front room! Other than that, pretty much everything else has stayed the same. When I made this new listbliss I knew we had much work to do in regards to the house.
We are having the outside of our house painted. That is project number one! Our house currently is white with pinkish trim. It is time for a change. We picked light gray for the main color and a dark gray for the trim. Then we are going to paint our front door red! Project number two, new flooring in the front room and living room. So, Karl ripped up the carpet in our front room to expose the hardwood floors underneath. There is some damage, so we have hired a gentleman to repair and refinish the floor in the front room. While he is here, he is going to lay hardwood in my kitchen and living room. It is going to be beautiful! He'll be here in a few weeks. So, that inspired us to project number three, paint the kitchen and the living room. We thought, with such beautiful floors, we want beautiful walls to match. We also had a friend who is an interior decorator come over and give us some help. She suggested taking out our built-in entertainment center and also converting our front room into a dining room! We loved both ideas. Karl has ripped out the entertainment center and is prepping the walls. I am stripping floral wallpaper border. It needed to come down! Once that's all done, we'll paint and rip up carpet. It sounds like a lot, but it was necessary. Summer is the perfect time for us to get these projects done.
YAY!! I am well on my way to completing #6 Attempt home improvements! Don't you love the wishy-washy way I included the word "attempt" on my list? When we get everything completed (goal date is the end of the summer), I will post some pictures!
