Dear 2017, #ByeFelicia
We are nearing the end of this year, and I could not be happier. The last couple of weeks have been a total train wreck for our house (particularly our basement), and I have plenty of ideas that I'm hoping to get out of my system.
Here are my hopes for this year for our house:
OUTSIDE
The laundry room is going to be tackled first due to the two floods we've had (from water heater issues), but that will be a long term work in progress. I'll start with what I can accomplish without spending much money (if any at all), and then focus on the (w)rec(k) room while I save up for the things that'll cost more in the laundry area.
I also hope to be a bit better about documenting projects like these on my Instagram stories & to definitely get better about updating the blog on a regular basis again.
So here's to 2018, and trying to better my every day life by taking care of my home.
Here are my hopes for this year for our house:
OUTSIDE
- rip up all of the plants in the front garden section & replace with two giant leafy green hostas
- lay down dark mulch to contrast greenery in front
- install solar string lights
- porch sign DIY
- sweet potato vines and lavender in pot under mailbox
- tall grass/elephant ears in left hand pot
- fix the Lane Acclaim coffee table legs (aka buy a heat gun and probably curse a lot)
- simplify shelves
- find good vinyl storage trays for under dresser
- cow hide rug?
- keep the dining room wall & table from being a dumping ground
- clean out extra dish sets & simplify with plain white Corelle
- base cabinet organization
- weekly cleaning
- maybe change paint color (Aaron will kill me lol)
- all white linens
- laundry management
- clutter management
- Carl-free zone for kitties
- clutter management
