House Bucket List

Hey readers!
Remember me telling you about us moving to a new [to us] house? Well, this past weekend (sorry I haven't got a weekend post up)we started staying in our new house. We have most things put away, but there are a few boxes that still need to be unpacked and we need to organize our storage room. Right now totes are just stacked in there and I want to label them better and organize them by season/category. Anyways,I want to create a bucket list of things for our house... okay, so maybe it's not a bucket list but more like a to-do list. Some of these things are short term, some may be more long term. I'm sure I will revisit this list in the future to add and cross things off.
So here we go, a room by room list of to-dos....

Kitchen
-peel wallpaper above cabinets and paint where paper was
- hang coffee sign on wall

Storage room
-Organize tote boxes by category
-Make "other" room into craft area
-Organize craft materials

Hall bathroom
-paint walls
-Change mirror above vanity
-Change floor

Living Room
-Hang mirror on wall
-create TV stand from old dresser
-Purchase a bigger area rug
-Change light switches and cover plates

Entry way/Foyer
-Put small table by front wall
-organize bookshelf beside desk
-add rug

Master Bedroom
-Purchase rug for the end of the bed

Guest Bedroom
-Purchase new mattress
-Purchase new bedding

Dining room
-make table runner

OUTSIDE
-make raised flower box
-plant bulbs into existing flower bed
-make grass area by sidewalk into flower bed
-Get rid of bushes in front of house and landscape
-pressure wash front porch and swing
-pressure wash sides of house
-destroy hornet nest in front tree (!! Winter !!)

I'm sure that is not everything that we need to do, but as you can see, we have enough to keep us busy and get us started on making our house our home...

  1. GREAT list. We just bought our house last year and completely remodeled it. So much that still needs to be done though. I think making lists is a great way to get things finished!
