Happy New Year Everybody! It’s going to a big year for DIY projects around here. I have sooooo much planned, I am super excited. I hope you join the journey and pull your hair out with me when I tackle some projects that I have been wanting to do for a long time. New Years always feel so full of potential, I love goal setting and planning for a year of awesomeness. Looking back on the year isn’t always the funnest, but January gets me every year.
I hope to wrangle my kids into helping and I am trying to be realistic with how much I can get done, so here is the current, but ever-growing DIY list for the year:
- Kitchen, this is a biggy
- Paint cabinets
- Update hardware
- Ceiling beams
- Add pendant lighting
- Build hood
- Adjust plumbing
- Update backsplash
- Upgrade appliances
- Yard Phase 3 of 3, we’ve already done a lot
- Build a pergola
- Fix firepit stone
- Finish planting
- Outdoor furniture
- Finish laundry room, I started it last year
- Hang cabinets
- Floating shelves
- Add organization space
- Penny tile
- Install shiplap
- New flooring
- Try my hand at wood art
- Repair/replace driveway cement
- Finish boys’ shared room
- Build a desk
- Build shelves
- Re-do second bedroom
- Build a bed
- Total renovation!
- Learn new skills in community education woodworking class (I can’t even begin to express how much I love community ed classes!)
Check out the new page that will be updated as the year progresses. Science projects and soccer games inevitably creep into project-time and I will surely be sidetracked by side projects so honestly, if I get it all done it will be miraculous and we could have a huge party, but I believe in miracles, so I’ll give my best shot.
What do you have planned for the year? Travel? Renovation? Education? Hopefully there is something you enjoy to do awaiting you this year.
Happy Creating!
