Projects ahoy!

2012 is going to be interesting. Maybe that is a nice way of saying I have no bloody ideal on what I am doing. I am officially unemployed. Overwhelmed. Without direction. But with no job to get in the way I should be able to knock out a kazillion projects right? Haha, yeah that is what I thought.

I actually made a list and it is HUGE (the following is just a few items from my list)! Until I find gainful employment I will really need to watch my pennies. Lets hope my creativity and non-existent budget will be a match made in clearance aisle heaven.

1.  FINISH my upstairs bathroom remodel (seal grout, install crown molding, install baseboard, install shower/towel rods)

2. Stairwell project-Lose the elevator shaft vibe. Paint  and stencil the walls. Install my cool vignette--hehe I can't wait for this reveal! Refinish the stair treads. Paint and stencil the stair risers. Possibly add a surprise lighting feature.

3. Master bedroom redo. Carpet is in but the walls look like a world map due to epic fail paint job. (peeling paint)

4. Craft closet--is currently the closet of hoarding horrors. Paint, new light fixture, update flooring, and reconfigure storage options.

5. Dressing room -- Install flooring and baseboards. Update lighting.

6. Upstairs hallway--install new flooring

7. Dining room-yep new flooring, baseboards and paint touch up. Maybe some cool storage options.

8. Kitchen-total gut job

9. Downstairs bathroom-total gut job

10. Laundry room-total gut job

11. Potting shed

12. The great garage clean out

13. Rain barrel install

14. Fountain install

15. Dream project--a small greenhouse (preferably from reclaimed and re-purposed items)

16.  Raised garden beds

17. Paver walkway

18. Fence the yard

19. Paint the exterior of the house

20. New porch columns/ railings

21. Redo porch floor and steps

22. Basement (aka the dungeon) --clean out and new steps

So yeah, lots of things to do. Not to mentions I have dozens of small type projects (crafts etc) that range form refinishing furniture, rewire lamps, floral arrangements, making pillows, quilting etc...

Wish me luck because I am gonna need it!
