Homes

So since the wedding I have been trying to get things done around the house. I have lots of stuff that needs to get hung up around the house but I am waiting on pictures and all that good stuff. We have however gotten the volleyball net setup. (wedding present from H) We also got and setup our new patio furniture all last weekend.

Anyone else gotten things done around your house? Or redecorating in the plans?

Re: Homes

  • We have so much stuff we want to do to our house! Hopefully w the generous cash load we received we actually do some of those things!

  • For us, our home is the never-ending "honey do" list.  We always have something that we want to do around it, in it, on it!  We just have to pick and choose which gets done at which time of the year.  Outside stuff just doesn't seem to get done in the middle of winter!  I think the item I am most excited about getting hung up right now though is our thumb-print tree from the wedding.  I love how it turned out and now I just have to get it matted and framed....
  • Yes! H's house (now OUR house) had ugly wallpaper everywhere! We painted over it in the hallway last weekend, and we'll be starting on the kitchen this weekend! Painting isnt much fun but I am so looking forward to not having to look at that wallpaper.
  • No huge projects- Got/ hung new curtains in the living room & bedroom, moved a little furniture around, and have generally cleaned up from Tornado Wedding. I think the new curtains with new bed stuff and bathroom stuff has been enough to make things feel "new" for us :)

  • We haven't done anything just yet, but have lots of plans. We bought our house over the winter and with the wedding, nothing , but the essentials got done. So I'm planning to focus inside over the next few months - finsih unpacking, organizing, and decorating. H plans to focus outside - he wants to build a patio and fire pit

  • We have a huge list of things to do to the house! We started on the end of the house with the bedrooms, and got the master painted with new and old furniture, and painted the master bath. Then we stopped. Memorial day weekend we painted the front of the house. It's such a pretty green! It's like a new house. We haven't painted the shutters yet, or finished trim. Guess we'll do that after the HM. I'll post a pci when it's done.

    Then we are moving to the inside and replacing all first floor flooring...hardwood for living, kitchen, dining, hall, and staris. The bedrooms will get new carpet. Then every room needs to be painted, all light fixtures replaced....It's a long list, but we're not in a hurry to do it all.

  • We have just started the Reno/ updating of our home. We have been in it 3 years but it was move in ready so we literally just moved our things in. With the money we received from the wedding we have started updating the master bedroom. After that we are on to the kitchen. 
  • We have a lot to do! I have a lot of pictures I would like to get hung up. Half of our wedding presents are still in the spare room, because our kitchen is tiny. I keep telling myself I need to find a place for it all. But I never end up doing it lol.

  • We moved into our apartment a week before the wedding, but it was only my stuff and the wedding stuff. We are still working on unpacking, organizing the garage, etc. No pictures up yet..we hope to get a lot more accomplished this weekend.

  • I have a LOT of projects I want to do, inside and outside.

     Since we've been back we've painted a wall and had 3 new pieces of furniture delivered (a huge mirror, a dresser, and a bar cabinet).  I also worked out in the yard the other day for a couple of hours.  So far I've been busy putting away the last of our wedding gifts and trying to get our house back to semi-normal after the wedding.

    I keep adding to my list daily! We bought our house in January and since then we've already:

    Tiled the kitchen, foyer, and two bathrooms

    Hung all new interior doors

    Replaced light fixtures in foyer, bathrooms, and master bedroom

    Built a walkin closest in the mater bedroom

    Bought a new fridge, washer and dryer

    Completely renovated both bathrooms. New shower/tub, toilets, sinks/countertops everything brand new!

    Painted kitchen, both bathrooms and primed the master bedroom

    Just tonight my friend Jamie and I planted some flowers in the front of the house and they look so pretty :)

    The next things on my list to finish include: organizing everything in this house (the clutter is stressing me out), painting the master bedroom, putting up drywall in the living room, painting the fireplace, and ripping out some cabinets! Jus a few projects to do, right?! :)

  • I am just focusing on cleaning and sending as much as possible to Goodwill!

  • Yes! Mostly outdoor things like planting, cleaning up the garden and I just bought a ton of nice picture frames to hang up our wedding pics in, plus we got some new furniture with some of our wedding money. I feel like our house is becoming our home :)

  • We're planning on moving soon, so we're not doing anything to our condo.  Most of our gifts are in storage.
