As recounted in this list, I had a lot of items I wanted to complete back in 2011. Here's a copy of that list with my current thoughts inserted.
And here's the list I made without first looking at my old list above:
Bathroom
- Purchase & install new pedestal sink faucet
- Purchase & install new tub/shower faucets
- Purchase & install medicine cabinet
- Purchase fabric & sew new curtain for window
- Purchase & install toilet/move toilet back
- Purchase & install 2-3 towel rods on back of door
- Have bathtub inspected (it was leaking out of the overflow)
- Remove radiator
Kitchen/Dining Room
- Install curtain rod
- Sew curtains from Ikea duvet/pillowcases
- Purchase & install new light fixture over kitchen
- Finish grouting the tile
- Purchase magnetic hooks for oven mitts
- Replace windows
Bedroom
- Install curtain rod
- Purchase rug
- Build something to set mirror on top of
- Organize items under bed
- Finish painting canvas that my boyfriend gave me for my birthday
- Replace old window
Living Room
- Purchase rug
- Purchase ottoman
- Recover or paint shoe tray
- Fix my poor construction of bookshelf
- Fix floor where someone in the past must have set a potted plant
Closet/Laundry Room/Hallway
- Purchase & fix washing machine lid latch
- Purchase & install new light fixture
The bolded items happened to be on the original list as well. Well, I still have a lot to do.
I HIGHLY recommend paying a professional to refinish the wood floors.
ReplyDeleteI also need a rug -- for the platform at church. I once went to a Shaw employee sale that was FABULOUS (I got our living room rug for just $75! If you've started pricing rugs, you'll recognize that as an insanely low price.). Will have to check with Carmen and see if another employee sale is coming up that she could take us to. The problem is, I haven't spoken to Carmen for SO long...
Wow, yes $75 for a large rug is a deal. I don't want to refinish the floors myself. But I have been doing some grouting myself...I'll post it soon!
