Honey Do List

October 8, 2014

FacebookTwitterPinterestMixEmail

Honey Do List, Home Remodels, Home Projects, Fixer Upper

With the purchase of our first home comes major excitement followed by major work. We moved in just a two weeks ago and have been busy bees since the day we got the keys! Hence the reason for less outfit posts!! {I promise to figure out my new routine soon and get back to a more regular posting schedule}

The house is a 1940’s home, pictured above, and while it has a lot of charm that we love, there is also a lot of “charm” we don’t love and could definitely do without. I have big ideas and so does my husband, though he thinks I have too many big ideas…We’ve decided to do most of the work ourselves, get ready for a major dose of DIY projects on the site in the upcoming months, including my Ikea hacks! Oh and Before and After posts for sure 😉

I have a background in Interior Design so the thought of finally being able to put it all to good use on our own home excites me so much. Since there are so many projects we need (and want) to tackle I’ve decided to put together and share with all of you, our Honey Do List! You can get a sense for what we are considering doing from my pinterest boards.

1. Paint all the walls.
2. Make a doggie door so that the pups can go in and out as they please.
3. Build bookcase and organize.
4. Cut down the tree in the backyard to make way for our hot tub.
5. Plant a tree in the front yard.
6. Knock down the old built-in pantry and expand upper and bottom cabinets to gain more counter space and usable storage.
7. Design, purchase, and decorate for my closet/office.
8. Build-in hot tub to have steps, perimeter seating, and privacy walls.
9. Get outdoor dining furniture and lighting.
10. Fire pit and seating.
11. Tile a backsplash in the laundry room and get a nice countertop for folding.
12. New exterior wall sconce for the front door.
13. Build a fence and add a gate.
14. Lay down concrete pavers to the right side of the house for a driveway.
15. Update some ceiling fixtures and bathroom lighting.
16. Decide on a color for the front door. I wanted a shade of blue but the husband is resistant.
17. Accent wall in the living room (this is going to be a good one but keeping it a surprise for now)
18. Replace the refrigerator with a stainless steel and energy efficient one.
19. Replace the stove and microwave with same as above.
20. Stucco the exterior of the house (this ones way down on the list but one we’re definitely considering)
21. I know there are more I just can’t think of them right now…

Any fun at home DIY projects you are currently working on or considering?

[AD] With Spring in full swing, I decided to head [AD] With Spring in full swing, I decided to head over to the Gilroy Premium Outlets to refresh mine and my family’s wardrobe. I went to the outlets with some Spring trends in mind that I was shopping for. If you’re not already a VIP member I highly suggest becoming one, (it’s FREE btw!) because their newsletters are full of great sales, shopping events, as well as seasonal trends to be on the lookout for. I made the rounds and stopped at a few of my favorite stores @gilroypo like @hm @katespadeny @lululemon @janieandjack @vans @michaelkors and @forever21. Swipe to see some of the looks I tried on and don’t miss my reel with more bts content from my shopping trip!
10 months old!!! It felt like a full on production 10 months old!!! It felt like a full on production trying to get Cooper to cooperate to take his monthly milestone pics today. Thank goodness Mason was home from school because I needed all his help. We were mostly unsuccessful, in Mason’s words “it was not great,” but when we were singing and clapping he started to clap along too. 

Swipe for some super cute pics of our Coopie lovey buggy. We couldn’t love you more!!! 🥰
Happy Easter from our family to yours! 🐣🐰 Co Happy Easter from our family to yours! 🐣🐰 Cooper’s 1st Easter was a success. He did great at church and he did great at our large family gathering of almost 30 with Justin’s side of the fam. It was also Mason’s 1st time joining us in church instead of being in childcare and he did great. He said he loved it! He also lead our family prayer 🙏🏼 and did a great job!!
