2012 Honey Do List

With a new year, comes a new list of things to do around the house!  Actually, in our case, these are mostly old things, but we're finally re-energized to get to work again since we completed our remodel nearly two years ago!  Plus I think a little nesting will be fun before the baby arrives!  :)

So in no particular order...here are the items on our agenda:

1. Paint doors and trim.

Our doors only have primer on them...it was actually a miracle we got them installed in the first place given our dwindling budget at the time.  A nice paint of coat will really make a difference.  Same goes for our trim which needs to get some caulk and paint as well.

2. Install hallway closet doors.

We only have two of them: one to the hallway closet and the other to our laundry closet but they are very visible to guests and quite unsightly!  We've talked about installing barn doors.

We're thinking about bolting two standard doors together and buying the barn door hardware.  Have any of you done something like this?

3. Buy stainless steel fridge.

All of our appliances are stainless steel except for the refrigerator.  Hubby and I decided our Christmas gift to each other would be a new fridge...so I am sure we'll get this checked off the list!  I love the bottom drawer freezers.  Here's the one I have in mind:

Our appliances are all Kenmore, so this one would fit in nicely.

4. Install light can inserts.

Definitely a honey do item...'nough said!

5. New Front Door

While I love our red door, it needs to be updated.

I'm thinking something more craftsman.

Only...in red.  Or blue...here we go again!

6. Update living room pillows

I've loved the red, but want to incorporate something more fresh.

I found this inspiration photo:

Isn't the zebra divine?!

7. Buy {or make} dining room drapes

They're noticeably missing and instead of buying matching bamboo shades, I thought stripes would be nice!

Courtney's drapes are dreamy...I want them!

8. Find a new piece of furniture for the TV.

This is a tough one...anyone have a piece they love?

9. Complete master bedroom decor.

I know...I know...I need to jump on this!  I've gotten new lamps and solicited your advice on pillows.  I also want to add a headboard, but that might be too ambitious for now!

10. The nursery!!!

Yay!!!  I am most excited about this transformation this year.  We'll wait to find out the gender before we get started, but I have been pinning away and daydreaming ever since we found out we're expecting!

 I did get this adorable sock garland from my dad and step-mom for Christmas...maybe a fun starting point?

What's on your honey-do list this year?  How many of these things do you think I'll actually get done!!  Only time will tell!!
