This spring/summer I have a few things that I would like to do around the house. Some things are projects that I never started from last year. I plan to focus more on DIY, repurposing and inexpensive purchases (aka no big ticket items). I also think that I was unrealistic with all of the things that I listed last year, so this will be a more comfortable list.
Spring
1. Finish decorating the living room
- Create a new painting to hang above the TV
- Style the mantel and hang a large image above it
- DIY roman shades (or purchase on sale)
- Add round light bulbs to the light fixture (and maybe spray paint it) so that it can look similar to this
3. Kitchen
- Create artwork to hang on the larger wall
- Add a small island
Summer
1 . Master Bedroom
- Paint
- DIY a headboard similar to one of these
credit
- Spray nightstands white
- Lamp project for nightstands
- Make a small table for the sitting area
- Re-purpose a coffee table into a bench
- Make two pairs of curtains and three roman shades
- Add artwork (photography, paintings and prints all DIY)
- Purchase another one of these as a credenza and style it
2. Master Closet (this may be for autumn instead, but this is the list)
- Remove door and make a curtain
- Remove all racks and replace with white shelves
- Spray bookcase white and move into closet for shoe and accessory storage
- DIY a small table for all of my nail polish and nail care products
- Change light fixture
Hopefully this list will not be too much of a challenge to actually complete. Any fun projects coming up for you guys?
love your project list! I can't wait to see your closet makeover. I'm looking into closet systems right now that are affordable, I really like the ones from Lowes...depending on the price
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list! It all seems very doable :). And, I'm trying to work up the nerve to sew my own roman shades -- can't find anything I like on sale!
ReplyDeleteI just did a list for my home as well. I can't wait to see your progress. Are you still painting your bedroom navy?
ReplyDeleteYes, the plan is still to paint it navy. I just haven't decided if I want all of the walls navy or just an accent wall :-\
DeleteI painted my bedroom black a few months ago and I went with one accent wall since my room is so small.
DeleteThat sounds beautiful! I love the drama yet coziness that dark colors add to rooms.
