Interior
{in progress}
2. Paint & decorate the master bedroom.
{needs work!}
3. Decorate dining room. (This will include painting, adding chair rail & paneling, window treatments, chair covers, & fixing up the ram shackled furniture I bought off Craigslist!)
{Blah}
{I'm getting REALLY tired of these dirty white walls!}
5. Paint & organize garage. (I'm actually really excited about this project! I've got some great garage storage tips to share with you! Stay tuned!)
{Just keepin' it real!}
Exterior
1. Fix up front landscaping. (Add a retaining wall, tree, bushes, annuals, & mulch.)
{We NEED a retaining wall...still trying to convince my husband!}
2. Stain deck & add flower boxes.
{This was my husband's BIG project last summer. I'm so proud of him for designing & building it himself!}
3. Add a patio & storage closet under the deck. (We also plan on doing some concrete work to widen the driveway & add a basketball goal.)
{in progress}
{Who wants to come help? Any takers?}
5. Remove the shutters on the arched window.
{These have made me "shudder" since before we started building!}
So, there you have it, the ugly truth. (I can't believe I actually showed you some of those pictures!) I'm really hoping we can accomplish these projects, but realistically we probably won't. (Don't tell my husband I actually admitted that!)
Mixed in between all the hard work, we plan on having a little fun too! Each year we come up with family adventures. Some of this year's adventures include a vacation to Georgia, farms, amusement parks, museums, bike trails, aquariums, camping, canoeing, & of course lots of R&R at the pool!
Want to keep up with all the projects? Follow along & I will add before & after pictures as we conquer our massive summer project list!
So, what are you up to this summer?
