To say that we have slacked off lately in the home improvement department is a huge understatement. ?But it recently dawned on me that Spring would be here before we knew it (thank goodness!) and once the weather turns warm we will be?inundated with outdoor projects to maintain our yard. As a result, the inside of our home will get very little attention. ?So with Spring as a new deadline I'm now super motivated to do as many indoor improvements as possible. ?In true VABelle fashion, my first step in operation home improvement involved making a list.
Operation Winter 2013 Home Improvement:
*Redecorate the office
Right now our office is the catchall for all papers, junk, and clutter. ?I want it instead to be more organized, functional, and calming.
-Paint the furniture
My office inspiration, thanks to Pinterest, includes white furniture with the gray walls. ?Right now our office furniture varies from tan to black with everything in between. ?I would love to paint it all white or cream but I'm not entirely sure how that would work out.
My ultimate armoire goal:
-Clean out the file cabinet
-Frame and hang diplomas
We only graduated 7 years ago, it's time to frame those suckers!
*Kitchen Window Coverings
Now that our family room doors have drapes, I really want to get coordinating Roman Shades for our kitchen windows in the adjacent room.-Select the fabric
Right now I'm leaning towards Waverly Sidewalk Stripe in Blue Sky.
-Select the style of roman shades Love this example:-Hang the custom shades
*Complete the Living Room
Moving our large armoire to the office was a great decision but it left us with a bare wall in our Living Room that needs to be filled.
-Find and buy a chair and end table
Currently a chair from the guest bedroom and a random ottoman are filling the void. ?I hope to find something affordable at an antique or thrift store sooner than later.
*Complete Upstairs Bedrooms
-Paint both bedrooms more neutral colors?The previous owners used the upstairs bedrooms as a nursery and a little boy's room. ?They picked great colors for the rooms at the time but now that we own the house they are screaming for a more neutral color scheme.?
Trust me, I'm realistic and know that at least half of this list won't be completed by Spring. ?But I'm motivated at the moment and if just a few projects get done, I will be satisfied. ?I hope to have some finished products to share with you all very soon. ?Comments and suggestions are always welcome!
