The List

A few weeks after we bought this house MLW and I made a master list of everything we wanted to change or do to 5054. I've shared the kitchen list in those updates, but figured it might be a good time to share the list for the rest of the house as well. Especially since I seem to have hit a little winter blues and I'm finding it harder and harder to keep crossing things off. So here is hoping sharing the list with ya'll will reenergize me and keep moving this house right along!
I'm going to do side by side of the first day they gave us a key and the most recent photo of the space. I tried to find similar point of views for each room to give the most dramatic impact. Here we go:

Entry Way: 

-Paint

-Paint "w" white

-Paint basket handles gold

-Touch up trim

-Add art (key holder, hey ya'll print)

-Make Pretty 

Like I've said before, the entry and hall are the most finished of all the spaces. Boom, Pow! 

The Kitchen:

-Paint chalk board wall on back wall

-Add shaker style detailing to flat bottom cabinets (see this tutorial)

-Add pantry and lower cabinets to random side of stove 

-Paint uppers "Decorator's White" by BM

-Paint lowers a blue/grey slate

-Replace all hardware with ballin' brass hardware (that I already purchased when it went on sale)

-New Countertops

-Subway tile backsplash with grey grout (dark grout=less dirty looking)

-Get a new dishwasher to match stove and fridge 

-Actually install hood above stove 

-Replace lighting 

-Style all those pretty glass uppers

-Cook something yummy when its all done

The least improved space, but kitchens are expensive and half of the fun is in the journey! 

Den (formally the man cave) 

-Paint 

-Blinds

-Curtains

-Ikea shelf

-Curtain Rods

-Wall light

-Celling lights 

-Floor lamp

-Desk lamp

-Desk chair for MLW

-Exercise/Dog area on right side of room (storage for free weights, yoga mats, dog toys, dog food, leashes ect)

-2nd rug to complete space

-Art 

-Fix air vent 

So in here, I'm about half way done. The right side of the room is just so cozy that I can pretend the other side doesn't look like the wild wild west. Also I had a sweet craigslist chair for MLW that I found for $20 and was going to recover, but then it broke. Its the risk you take, but hey it was only $20 bucks. I might splurge and get something like this from West Elm if it ever goes on sale...

Living Room/Dinning: 

-Paint 

-Refinish table

-Style Dinning Room

-New Light

-Dinning room rug?

-Art in Dinning room

-Chairs

-Art in living room 

-Hang Curtains 

-Style 

So there are some half finished projects in here. Also the "after" picture isn't the best representation of how finished the room is. This is from back in October, when I hadn't moved the new table in or styled the area a little more. I have my eye on a light fixture, and I'm still on the fence for an area rug specifically for the dinning. If you have been reading along, you'll know I have the rug from the kitchen in there now, but the more I think about the finished kitchen the more I think I will want it back in there. Thus the question of a rug or no rug? If I do get one, I'm kinda digging this one that is on sale at Anthro right now. 

 The Hallway:
-Paint 
-Remove attic pull
-Anchor Linen closet door
-Light
-Touch up trim
-Art!
-Rug

Yeah! That rug makes my world go round. {other than MLW and the corgis, of course}

Guest Room 1 aka The Blue Room:
-Fix giant hole in wall
-Paint
-Hang blinds
-Hang curtains
-Re-paint furniture
-Put bed together
-Art
-Style 
-New light fixture

We have purchased the ceiling fan, but we haven't put it up yet. Tackling electrical takes a special kind of day.

Guest Bath:
-Hang shower curtain and liner
-Wallpaper
-Light Fixture
-Wallpaper
-Art (hedgehog print)
-Retile floor
-New toilet seat/toilet
-Fix wonky faucet

So this room is more of a part 1 and part 2 project. Part 1 is done and mostly cosmetic! Part 2 involves removing the toilet and pedestal sink to retile the floor that is slowly falling apart. Also I want a fresh toilet? Is that weird? I like old homes, but not old toilets...

Guest Room 2 aka the Green Room:
-Paint
-Buy Bed Frame 
-Hang Curtains
-Dresser
-Re-paint book shelf
-Nightstand
-Fabric for duck chairs
-Accessories
-Art

This room is definitely better than it was just a short while ago, but still has some ways to go. Like I've said before this is the room that we had to source the most furniture for. But we will get there, and it is a passable guest room, so come visit me!

 Master Room:
-Paint
-Hang Curtains
-New Headboard Fabric
-X benches
-Rug
-Art
-Storage basket
-Re-do nightstand/ new nightstand
-Bed skirt 
-New Fan
-New summer bedding

So not to much more to do in here, the fan works fine, but is loud! All summer I slept in earplugs. Also our summer bedding is basically the same color as the wall and I want a little more contrast. However, I will cross that bridge when we have too. Lastly, I've got to figure out what to do with the orange nightstand. I've actually been liking the idea of doing a fabric covered nightstand. I know some pretty talented ladies {savory homemaker, I'm looking at you} who I might be able to sweet talk into helping me.

Master Bath

-Paint

-Shower curtain

-New bath mats

-Accessories

-Art

-New lighting

-Paint bath ceiling 

-New Medicine cabinet

-New toilet seat/toilet 

-Retile? 

Similar to the guest bath, the master bath has a part 1 and a part 2. I'm hoping to tackle painting the ceiling pretty soon. We have leftover ceiling paint so the project will be essentially free and it needs to be done bad! 

Welp, there is the grand list. I do get a kick crossing items off and it feels nice to share everything with ya'll so you know where we are headed. Also I know there has been a lack of attention to the outside of the home, but I promise that is coming! I'm sorta at a total loss as to what to do in some areas, so I'm hoping ya'll can help me out.

Thank you so much for following along this journey with me, its been a trip! 

I love you all!
