Current projects?

[peach]

We are partway through a bathroom renovation - we put new inset medicine cabinets in, scraped and painted the ceiling and painted the walls. New countertops are ordered and new sinks and taps are next when we can afford it - might be a few weeks because I refuse to buy things we don't have the extra cash for and we are actually putting in nice quality items in this house.

Last two houses we just did the cheap, good enough route and I compromised my taste a lot. This is our long term house so we are apending a lot more to get what we want.

After that we are taking a break until after Christmas because that will suck up our renovation busget(Christmas I mean). In January is a new tub and tile ! Yay no more blue tub!

For my store I am working on a nightstand and a coffee table, some wreaths and fall decor. After that is refinishing a table and 4 chairs and a huge round coffee table!

My project today is to finish packing up the kitchen in anticipation of tomorrow's demolition. I may be up all night finishing that one. Other than purchasing a sink and faucet, my part of the kitchen reno is pretty much done as soon as I pack it up. I do have the backsplash left to find, but I don't really know what I want so I am going to wait on that.

My main project after today is going to be to start putting everything away in my studio. It will require building/buying more storage, but I need to see what I have before I can figure out what I need.

1. Install overhead lights in the upstairs bedrooms.
2. Get the guest bathroom functional again (new subfloor, floor, and toilet, not sure yet if the subfloor problem involves the tub...)
3. Crawl space work (vapor barrier replacement, insulation replacement, sealing of duct work)

After those we are looking forward to:

4. Major update on the master bathroom.
5. Add vents, seal, and add insulation to attic.

Also would like to do before winter:

6. Replace old single-pane sliding glass doors.
7. Replace rotting deck supports.
8. Get/install fireplace doors and radiator.

That isn't a lot, right? LOL

Let's see:

*Outside décor for fall/yard clean up/massive shrub/plant clean up.
*Do the baby room. Looks good so far.
*Install closet system in baby room.

We already got Rubes in her big girl bed. It's a fun bed and she got used to it faster than I thought.

In the winter:
Cabinets/storage in the playroom and get a decent railing down the steps.

H has been working non stop for 3 weeks straight and I've had enough school hours. There's tons of family time now on our agenda so we're trying to keep the major projects to the necessary.

DH and I are finally doing something in out bedroom.

The previous owner- my mother- hung the world's most obnoxious wallpaper in there. Picture 18" tall tulips growing diagonally in shades of orange, coral and pink with a coordinating miniprint in the dressing area and MBR 3/4 bath.

I'm starting in the bath. Quicky refresh- new light, new mirror and perhaps a new vanity top/sink and faucet. I have a Cabinet Restorer kit from my powder room, so I may refinish the vanity. It's one of those tragic laminate and oak trimmed beauties from 1986.

Nothing.

It's sick that I'm jealous of y'all.

Last week I got two windows and three doors installed! YEAH!

Today I am starting to refinish the floor in our playroom. When we moved in 7 years ago and I pulled out the most disgusting green carpet. It was originally glued to the floor so some parts had to be scrapped. It was so old the the padding underneath was starting to disintegrate so in other parts of the room it came right up! I threw done some new carpet and called it good until today! I am so excited!

While I am working on the floors, I am to start staining all the casing and trim boards for around our new doors and in the hallway. Then those will go in next week. The new doors need poly on them yet too.

After these few things are done then I am done for a while. Probably until February and then we are tearing apart the laundry/mud room. That project will be a lot of fun too. It will look so much better when it's done and really change the feel of the house.

We're in a holding pattern at the moment with the inside, which I'm okay with. I need to get more organized, over all, but it's a slow process. I'm hoping, in the spring, we can get someone out to completely rip out all the landscaping and redo it. Tax season!

We are also mid bathroom mini reno. We replaced the tub but more of the 30 yr old tile surround was damaged than anticipated during the tub swap. Of course we can't get the same tile so I special ordered the closest I could find. Now we wait 6-8 weeks for the tile to come in before proceeding with the bathroom =(.

We have the new fixtures, cabinet hardware, and new vanity top just waiting in the garage. DH needs to replace light (which will involve some sheetrock work since current fixture is terrible bar shaped one) and put another coat of paint on the vanity and medicine cabinet which we are reusing/reinstalling.

I'd love to change out the brass in our bathroom for silver so it matched but I can't get DH on board since it's a rental. But you can buy the exact same style just in silver for $20/set that would include everything we need. The light and faucets are already changed.

1. Painting the shutters. They were light blue and looked stupid against my yellow house. I don't know how we lived with them for almost 3 years. I'm painting them dark gray, and I just need to do one more coat on the upper ones, but it's hard motivating myself to get back on the ladder.

2. Install a new banister. I threw out the old iron one last spring, so we haven't had a banister since then, and we're finally installing the new one.

Add a roof back

Our list is about 300 items long, but we've got to reseed the lawn, tear out the giant evil bushes next to the parking lot, and have some trees removed (most of the trees on the lot, in fact - the stupid contractor put all these fast growing, shallow-rooted trees RIGHT NEXT to the house, the fence, etc).

We're also going to wallpaper, paint, and altogether clean up the downstairs bathroom. I'd like to take the carpet off the stairs and either paint or refinish them, depending on what we find. We need to paint the porch floor. And R would like to get started painting the house.

If the weather is nice this weekend, we will be cleaning out the broken branches and trimming back the shrubs on the right side of the house. If the weather is not nice, we will be tearing apart the boxes in the spare room and sorting stuff to put away or donate.

I need to get most of this done before I get huge...
1. Finishing the morrocan stencil on the nursery walls (2 down, 4 to go) - paint closet too

2. Just signed contract to replace our ugly slab interior doors (October installation)

3. Bought fabric to make no sew curtains, cornice, and crib canopy for nursery

4. Possibly covering ottoman for nursery in green suede fabric

5. Installing crown molding in the nursery

6. Painting all the newly-installed interior doors (they come primed)

7. Hiring electrician to install ceiling fan in nursery

8. Possibly repainting my old dresser for nursery (it's cream colored and nursery furniture is white).

9. Matte and frame nursery prints

I'm sure there's more. I bought tin tiles for a kitchen backsplash in February and haven't gotten aronud to installing it.
