2014 Home Goals, Part 1

I have had a running list for some time now but I thought it would be nice to add it to the blog along with some links to a few things that we've already done! I think I will make it a tradition to update this list at the beginning of each year. The Etc. sections just include all the things I would like to do at some point but that likely won't happen this year. This post includes the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Master Bedroom:
Completed:
2014 To-Do:
  • Get curtains for the French doors -- We have some temporarily, but they were ones we had already and they don't fit in here
  • Adjust bifold closet doors so they close properly -- Halfway there
  • Add new crown molding
  • Get bedside tables
  • Replace closet light with small chandelier -- I have my eye on this one but I found a tutorial that suggests I can make something similar!
  • Replace old blinds with matchstick blinds
Etc.:
  • Paint the door white
  • Replace or paint the ceiling fan
  • Replace the old closet window with a double-pane one
Master Bathroom:
Completed:
2014 To-Do:
  • Decide if we should paint the brass faucets or shower stall oil-rubbed bronze or just wait until a remodel
  • Decide what to do with the other weird textured glass partition
  • Add more ceramic shelves to the shower corner
Etc.:
  • Replace brass light with something pretty
  • Replace the glass brick window with a frosted window, larger if possible?
  • Replace tub & shower with different (smaller) tub & (larger) shower -- This glass shower is amazing

Guest Room:
Completed:
  • Paint it turquoise
  • Put up matchstick blinds to replace the too-short ones
  • Hang the curtain rod & bird curtains we already have
2014 To-Do:
  • Get a queen bed & bedding -- Angela was in here before so it's totally empty now!
  • Add crown molding
Etc.:
  • Paint the door white
  • Replace the old window with a double-pane one

Office:
Completed:
  • Remove crummy old closet doors
  • Put up matchstick blinds to replace the too-short ones
  • Put mirrored doors from master closet in here
2014 To-Do:
  • Paint it green... or magenta... or yellow-green...
  • Hang a curtain rod we already have
  • Get curtains after a paint color is chosen
  • Turn it into one shared office (for now)
  • Frame the Austin map that's currently just pinned to the wall
  • Frame the piece of textured glass from the master bathroom to use as a marker board
Etc.:
  • Paint the door white
  • Maybe build a cool built-in headboard with side table like this?
  • Replace the old window with a double-pane one

Guest Bathroom:
Completed:
  • Paint the blue cabinets white
  • Paint the blue trim white
  • Paint the blue medicine cabinet white
  • Remove the crusty old doors from the cabinet
  • Add a toilet paper holder
  • Add a curtain in place of doors
2014 To-Do:
  • Paint the walls (leaning toward minty green)
  • Add a nice wood cabinet above the toilet
Etc.:
  • Add a white mirror frame
  • Paint the door white
  • Replace the tile floors with "wood tile"
  • Complete remodel eventually?

Upstairs Guest Room:
Completed:
  • Move the two twin beds upstairs to make a king
  • Hang the curtain rod we already have
  • Maybe use the light-blocking curtains we already have?
Etc.:
  • Paint it (no idea what color yet, something bright; maybe add a stencil!)
  • Install some kind of low-profile overhead lights or wall sconces
  • Replace the not-to-code stairs with a pull-down staircase, circular staircase, or something similarly space-saving & less terrifying
