Just for the sake of sharing/recording/reflecting or whatever, here are the things we have done to our house since we moved in, in I think May of 2008.
- vented the microwave/hood to the outside, rather than circulating the air back into the kitchen
- put crown molding on top of kitchen cabinets and put in a corner cabinet glass accent door piece
- installed three pendent light fixtures in kitchen
- installed pella storm door on front door
- put up tons of shelves and peg board in the garage
- painted the garage floor
- put up glass tile backsplash in the entire kitchen
- put hardware on all cabinets in the entire house
- redid the entire main level bathroom with tile on the floor and walls, new sink and faucet, and crown molding
- painted majority of interior walls
- got window treatments for all windows (went with levelor stringless honeycomb type that open from the top and bottom, have mixed feelings about them)
- got new beautiful Samsung washer and dryer (am not a fan of my front loader, bummer)
- lowered a crazy high breakfast bar in our kitchen and put paneling on that wall... what a project that was
- put built-ins in the officet to match the rest of our cabinetry with a granite desktop
- got stained glass inserts on three windows (office, dining room, master bath)
- got huge stamped concrete patio complete with a gas fire pit
- landscaped the remainder of the back yard
- got whole-house humidifier and electronic air filter (love these!!)
- got water softener (love this even more!!)
several new light fixtures, but lots more to go to get rid of all the icky builder grade crap - new faucet for kitchen sink (not installed yet but it is on it's way per Amazon!!) Here she is (with magnetite pull down sprayer and soap dispenser):
And here is what we still need to do, not in order of importance because that still has to be determined:
- get a murphy bed in the office since that will be our guestroom until we finish the basement... someday!
- paneling in the dining room
- crown molding on entire main level
- new interior solid wood architecturally interesting doors
- new kitchen sink (granite extra deep)
- paneling up the staircase (like this...)
- statement light fixture for the stair case
- deck off master with door replacing existing window
- all seasons room beneath the deck
- door on master bath
- heated tile floor in master (marble basket weave like this...)
- closet organizers in all closets
- cabinets in laundry room
- new counter depth taller refrigerator
- take out half the pantry, put in second wall mounted stove and move microwave. Get new hood and put in pot-filler faucet over the stove** this project is my favorite for 2011!!
- put in bigger window in dining room (maybe use the one that becomes a door for the deck off the master)
- tankless water heater (probably only if we can use our current one to replace a needed rental house one)
This will be fun to look at and see how the list(s) change and evolve! I have written this out several times and lost it, so glad to have it filed away. Hoping for "pantry project 2011"!!
The new (appropriate-sized) pantry will have this door:
