Owning a home is work. Like real WORK. And no, I’m not complaining about it – I actually really love it. But every night after work the last two weeks, Daniel and I have come home and immediately began our projects. I love that the house is coming together so quickly but I would also love a date night sometime soon (*Daniel, hint hint).
A collaborative list of everything we have accomplished this week:
- Cleaned and organized both closets; put the closet doors back up.
- Daniel finished all the blinds (kitchen, dining room, his music room, our room and the guest room).
- Cleaned out the garage and the basement – threw away all the random junk or leftover counter tops from when the seller redid the kitchen (I’m pretty sure our garbage men absolutely hate us because of the enormous pile we left for them last week and will be leaving again tomorrow – oops).
- Daniel hung the gallery wall (again) in the dining room (!!!)
- Unpacked all the leftover boxes and organized the misc items in the basement.
- Set up this BEAUTIFUL shoe cabinet that we picked up from IKEA after first service at church today.
What we have left to do:
- Figure out flooring and new counters for the kitchen.
- Redo the bathroom (at least flooring).
- Find the perfect rug for our bedroom (and maybe the guest room?).
- Decorate the living room. Somehow this has become the room with the least amount of work done since we moved in. We haven’t spent much time in this room since we’ve been really going-going-going after work. I foresee getting a lot done this week since the smaller projects are all done and we can relax a little after work.
- Take down the old entertainment center that’s taking up space in the garage – put out for our garbage men friends.
