To kick start my Spring project list I submitted out bathroom for the DIY I Hate My Bath casting call. As I was thinking of all the things I would like to fix or remodel in the house if I had the expertise and skills, the number one room that comes to mind is our bathroom. I literally cringe when I clean it because no amount of cleaning will make our bathroom sparkle. There is only so much a fresh coat of paint, updated fixtures, new towels and a bath mat can do! It is hard to update a home on your own when you are still so new to being a homeowner. Most of our projects we have done without the help of professionals, but there are some things that you just need the expert help.
Until we either magically get the expert help, the bathroom will wait until we can really do it the right way- here is hoping it happens sooner rather than later!
Here is what is slated for our DIY Spring Project list:
- Early-March- start our seedlings for the garden
- Throughout March- Spring clean everything, and I mean everything!
- Fan blades
- Under all couches and beds
- Every base board, trim and door washed
- All the windows- inside and out
- Clean the carpets and all the floors
- Clean all the drapes
- De-clutter all cabinets
- Wash down all cabinets and drawers
- March- Finish the basement set up
- April- Fix the guest bathroom door (it has only been off the hinges for three years...)
- April- New flooring in the mudroom
- April- Organize and put up shelves in the storage room, including creating a pantry space
- April- New fence for the front yard
- April-May- Re-landscape the new patio area
- April-May- Tear up the side garden
- April- Till and plant the early vegetables in the garden
- And if that isn't enough, I really want to make new curtains for all of the windows!
