Honey Do List

It is warm and sunshine-y out, which can only mean one thing. Summer is HERE. Spring and Summer have always been my favorite times of the year, with the exception of football season. Which, in our household, is a season in and of itself. (Go Dawgs!)

With the change in temperatures and my subsequent elevated mood, I am all motivated and ready to tackle some serious home projects. I made a list of short and long term projects that we'd like to finish, and already marked a rather simple one off my list.

- Paint the downstairs - all of it -  in cooler tones. 





- Paint our kitchen cabinets. (I'm so excited for this one)

- Paint our stair rail glossy black to replace that stupid builder-grade orange-y wood. ( This is done! I did it while Matt was playing golf one afternoon this week. He was scared I would drip black paint everywhere, so I did it without him knowing so he wouldn't have to worry. :) So thoughtful of me. And he loves it! It looks really sharp.)


- Possibly paint interior doors black in our boring upstairs landing.
- Install beadboard under our bar.

- Paint bathroom vanities. (2)

- Frame out bathroom mirrors.

- Install board and batten in half balf, master bath. Heck, why not the guest bath while we're at it?!

- Install new carpet upstairs - this will be a long time coming.

- Transition 2nd bedroom into office space/guest room. (Below is what I'm thinking for the space... a lot of the items are based on what we already have in our office "nook" off the kitchen.) 


- Install single, high shelf in living room for a mini-library. (inspiration pic below)


- possibly bring a pop of red into living room with storage ottomon to replace coffee table. (I haven't run this one by Matt yet. Suprise, honey! This is what your crazy wife is daydreaming about.) I [heart] this ikat one below, although it's completely out of my price range which, at this time, is approximately $0.



I'm looking forward to completing some of these fun projects with my #1 guy! I'll be sure to update along the way. Happy summer!

    This sounds fun. What's first? ;-)

    When we put our last house on the market, the stager suggested we paint the handrail on the stairs. I was so mad we hadn't thought of it sooner. Made such a difference. I like Matt's gusto. Your list makes me tired. ;)
