Goals For 2011

I am finally sitting down to put in writing, all of the projects I would like to accomplish this year. Before you say anything, I already know that my eyes and ideas are bigger than time will allow. So with that in mind, here we go.

1) Figure out what I am going to do with the fireplace in our family room. This is actually in the works so hopefully I can cross this off of my list next week. Stay tuned!

This looks good for now but I can't leave it open like this, the kids enjoy playing in it too much!


2) Finish the downstairs bathroom that has been halfway finished since July... oops! I get distracted, I can't help it.

Much more work to do!

3) Start and complete the old dining room.

Dining Room, not much happening in here...

4) Start and complete the living room.

Living Room, not so much.

5) Finish the main entryway which again has been halfway finished since August... don't judge.

At-least the trim is finished.

6) Start and complete Mr. TB's office.

7) Put the finishing touches on the front yard landscaping. Which may or may not include painting the garage.

8) Organize the downstairs closets.

So I am pretty sure this is enough work to keep me happily blogging for the next 5 years. But I am going to try my hardest to get this done in 2011. We will save the upstairs for 2012!

    Glad I am not the only one. I am really hoping to get some decorating done this year, too. Hopefully I will get started on the family room in a couple of weeks.

    I love the shelves on both sides of your fireplace. We have the exact set-up in our family room, but no shelves yet! We just took the 1977 paneling down and painted it, so the next project is having custom built shelves and I want to use your pics as inspiration! THanks for visiting my blog, you have a new follower!
