In early 2019 I created a list of Goals we wanted to accomplish in our home throughout the year. Here’s a look at what we listed and how we did on our goals.
1. The Kitchen. B+
– New Appliances – A+
– Spruce up our Kitchen Cabinets – Either paint or purchase new – F
– Raising the Cabinets a few inches (?) – A+
– Install a Backsplash – A+
– Fresh Coat of Paint – F
Our Kitchen was the crown jewel of 2019. I cannot wait to take it further in 2020 buy painting the cabinets, updating the lighting, hardware and our kitchen table.
2. The Basement. B-
– Remove the Drop Ceiling – A+
– Update Lighting – A+
– Paint the walls and ceiling – C+
– Decorate
Ayiii I haven’t gotten around to documenting the basement work – but we’ve removed the Drop Ceiling, added more lighting, and painted walls and ceiling. We went a on an impulse with our basement color, and we don’t like it. Stay tuned – we will be repainting this year and taking you along for the ride.
3. The Guest Bedroom. B+
– Fresh Paint – A+
– Change out light switches – A+
– Decorate – B+
I took our Guest Bedroom on a weekend my husband was out of town. It was originally a yellow room – and it took me way too long to paint it – but it looks great now! The Decorating could use a little love, but it works for now.
4. The Office. D-
– Find a contractor to fix the plaster
– Fresh Paint
– Change out light switches – A+
– Decorate
The office didn’t get touched this year. Womp Womp. We picked up some other projects that filled out time. There’s always 2020 🙂
