House Project List

Now that the cat is out of the bag (as in, the news of our house is out!), I can finally start talking about it. Can't stop me now.

I have to say, I always thought I would want to buy a new house, or at least a move-in ready house, where nothing needs to be even painted, let alone remodeled. Little did I know... That house doesn't exist, because I can always find something wrong. So buying a house at a good price left us some wiggle room for remodeling and it's been so fun perusing Pinterest for ideas. 

The list of things that need to be done is quite long. One good thing - a lot of it won't be done by us:) As much as I would love to channel my inner Sherry Petersick and do everything by myself, I'm just going to stick with my inner Phoebe Buffey and say "Oh, I would love to! But I just don't want to!"

So here comes the seemingly never ending list.

1. Kitchen

HATE! IT!

• Paint cabinets white
• Paint the walls
• Paint trim white
• Remove the door leading to the laundry room and drywall it.
• Build a pantry
• Replace Hardware

2. Dining room

{almost} love it!

• Paint walls
• Paint trim
• Remove wall between kitchen and dining room.

3. Living room

{almost} love it!

• Paint walls
• Remove chair rail
• Update window treatment
• Paint cabinets (although this isn't a priority and can be done later on)

4. Master bedroom

HATE IT!!! 

• Remove wallpaper and paint walls
• Replace the ceiling fan
• Remove the built-ins and build closets instead
• Do something about that ugly fireplace (but keep it!)
• Window treatment
• Replace carpet

5. Master bathroom

• Complete remodel (it's a hole in the wall currently): move some walls and put in new floors, shower, and vanity. 
• Combine laundry room with the bathroom  (the best solution we could find for laundry room placement)

6. Kids'/guest rooms

{almost} love them!

• Paint walls

7. Kid/ guest bathroom

{almost} hate it! 

• Remove wallpaper
• Paint walls 
• Remove the glass sliding doors in the bathtub

8. Hallways and entryway

• Paint walls
• Paint trim

9. Little bits all over the house

• Drywall these gaudy 70s style intercoms
• Replace the light switches

There it is. A mile long. One thing is awesome about this house - I wouldn't change a thing about the backyard:)
