Suddenly I've got this huge list of things I want to do around the house and yard before the weather turns too cold, so I thought I would keep track of everything here. I'm hoping to do all/most of these projects before October, when Chris and I spend all of our free time doing fun fall activities and Halloween events.
So here's what I'd like to tackle:
Yard
- Weed and add plants to the front yard garden
- Weed and divide irises in the side yard gardens
- Add grass seed to bare spots in the back yard
- Transplant ferns near the shed
- Transplant plants that did poorly this year to new locations
- Do something with that compost bin (never got around to making a veggie garden)
Other Outside Projects
- Paint the eaves around the garage
- Finish up the back porch trim
- Add house numbers to the front door
Furniture I'm Going to Paint/Makeover
- Black china cabinet with mirrors (remove doors, add shelf paper, drawers?, paint)
- Pink desk (paint white with gold dip look)
- Old white chair (reupholster and paint to go with the pink desk's new look)
- Small bookshelf (paint, maybe shelf paper)
- Apothecary unit (going to look for new hardware, maybe sand and stain a darker tone)
Other Inside Projects
- Stuff pillows and hem the sides (mom made two pillow covers from leftover materials)
- Totally empty the kitchen, clean, and reorganize
- Finish up the new terrariums
- Caulk the gaps around the living room's ceiling trim
So that's what I'm thinking about. Looking at it now, it sort of seems like a lot to do in the next month and a half, but who knows? Maybe having this list and knowing exactly how much I want to get done will help me stay motivated. Also boredom and too many days off can be a huge motivating factor.
I'll post my projects as I go and try to repost this list with updates a few times as well. Wish me luck!
