Doors, Floors, and Furni-chores.....
Last night I sat down with Greg and we started talking about a sixteen month plan for some things we want to do to the house. We are on a total roll right now with our house projects. We still have several interior doors to replace before we start looking for a new front door or storm doors for the back.
One thing we really want to do between now and October is get a new bedroom suite. I love our bedroom. We both have our own closet, although I do share my closet with Greg's t-shirts and shorts. We love the color that we picked, and now we just need some new furniture. What we have is good, but none of it matches and we want to get a bigger bed. I think Greg is hoping I will finally get use to my side of the bed and not roll over to his side every night. So, I know my new obsession over the next few weeks will be furniture. I can not tell you how excited I am about it right now!!!!
We are planning out our Christmas gifts to each other for this year and next year as part of this master plan. This year we plan to give each other hardwood floors in the dining room. The room is a perfect rectangle so we feel pretty confident we should be able to do that ourselves. The living room is a different story. As for Christmas next year, we are planning to give new living room furniture to ourselves then. So much for surprises, ey?
Sometime next spring we plan to have someone come in and install hardwood floors in the living room. This is going to be a much more difficult task because after the carpet is taken up, the linoleum has to be taken up and then the glue or whatever it is that is holding that ugly stuff down right now. We have a fire place so the wood has to be cut to fit around it and there are three entry ways to deal with. Not as easy as a rectangular room.
Then, there is a fan for the master bath, new light fixture for the office, and art work or something to go on the walls. The list may never end. But, as Greg said after we get through our plan for now until the end of next year, we will be broke and will not be able to do anything else to the house. We better love it then!
