2012 To Do List

I'm very excited to follow through with a bunch of design plans for our home this year.  These are all projects I have been thinking about and planning for awhile.  I'm putting my to do list out there so you can keep me accountable and so I will be able to track my progress.

1. Powder Room Paint 

Bo-ring bath: Paint me!

I blogged about my obsession with black bathrooms way back in August.  I even picked up a gallon of dark, inky navy paint and a fabulous mirror.  But the project went on the back burner with Summer vacation and Ben starting Kindergarten.  The powder room is so small this task should be an easy one to check off the list!

2. Big Girl Bedroom Makeover

My little one is turning three at the end of the month and I would love update her bedroom for her birthday.  I've collected the furniture (all free) for the makeover now I just need to find the time to do the painting.

3. Tackle the Foyer

Like the powder room the foyer and hall are lacking personality.  Plus we had a leaky pipe repair in the wall so it's the perfect time for a little paint.   Right now I'm thinking a light, airy blue to brighten the space - there isn't much natural light.  I'm planning to take the paint up the stairs and include a board and batten treatment upstairs as well.  (I would love to pull up the carpet and paint the stairs as well but that might be a little too ambitious this year.)

4. Sew New Curtains for the Dining Room
The dining room is currently decorated in cream and red.  I'm planning to change up the look by adding in some navy.  So I bought this fabric to make new drapes when it was on sale a few months back.

This one is so simple.  I really just need to pull out the sewing machine already!

Last but not leasat, I've got another goal for 2012 to share with you.  However, you will just have to wait till Monday for the big announcement!

Thanks for visiting!
