Slacking Off and 2015 Goals

December 9, 2014

We haven’t really been doing much around the house these days. After we finished up the bathroom, we decided that we’d just take a nice break and get going again in the new year. We’re trying to plan out what projects we can do next year but things will probably be pretty boring for the most part. Between trying to boost our savings and paying off debt, there’s not a ton of room for projects but I’ll still try to post every once in a while.

Here are a few things we’re hoping we can accomplish in 2015:

Re-paint downstairs
Paint upstairs
Install new crown moulding throughout
Finish master closet (which I have yet to go into detail about)
Mini-makeover in upstairs hall bath (already started – need to post about)
Replace existing brick walkway from garage to backyard with larger pavers
Spruce up front landscaping (lay down weed fabric and add new mulch)
Build privacy panel to hide garbage and recycling cans

I’m in budget mode now so I’m trying to prioritize projects and figure out when we can do what. Things are getting pretty crazy with the holidays gearing up so I may not check back in until January but I hope everyone enjoys themselves! Christmas is my favorite time of year so I’m just trying to soak it all in and enjoy it.

Here is my Christmas present to you – the current state of our upstairs hall bath. Pro tip: When removing those old contractor grade mirrors brace yourself for what lies beneath.

Oy.
