projects..projects...and more projects

Being a home owner is a lot of work! Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining by any means, but the projects seem never ending. We just received our insurance check in the mail yesterday - WAY more than what it will cost to fix up the basement! So we are going to use the extra money to update other rooms of our house. Here is a laundry list of our home projects:

Basement:

• Hang drywall (tape, mud, and texturize too)
• Paint
• Install ceramic tile
• Replace ceiling tiles
• Hang wire shelving in laundry room

Living Room:

• Pick out new furniture! (current stuff is going downstairs)
• re-carpet
• Update hardware on cupboards

Upstairs

• Re-carpet all the rooms and stairs
• Paint the guest room
• Redecorate the guest room (new comforter, curtains, and wall decor

Outside

• landscape front of house
• seed a few areas where bushes were torn out
• plant perennials along the west side of the house
• Install storm door

Sound fun???!!!!! I told Adam that I'd like ALL of this done by Harper's 1st Birthday - I'm not thinking that it will happen! The yard work should be finished by the end of this week. All of the bushes and rocks are gone - just waiting on getting new! I'll post pictures to show progress of our projects!
