What's Next? Projects for this Fall

You might be thinking, your house looks great what else do you need to do? I still have a lot of projects I want to do! Some are small and some are a little bigger, but here’s a list of things I want to tackle by the end of the year.

Finish out the Craft Room closet

Shelf: West Elm Lamp: West Elm Curtains: Amazon Desk: Wayfair

I just finished the basement room with new paint, flooring and trim. I’m still working on outfitting it with the right furniture, but I also want to make the closet behind the curtain a real closet with shelves and maybe a bifold door. I at least want to get the shelves made so that the closet is more useful, so stay tuned for that!

Finish the Laundry Area

Rug: Bargain Hunt Cabinets: Ikea Sektion

I just got the cabinets up above the washer and dryer, but I am still debating on what to do with the floors. Should I tile? Should I leave it? Should I cover up the wiring? As well as getting a new light fixture to make this feel like a real laundry room.

Landscaping

This is probably more ongoing, but there is still a lot of landscaping to do, mainly in the backyard and the left side of the house that you never see. I want to take out all these holly bushes as well as figure out some kind of landscaping or path to the gate. The grass unfortunately didn’t survive over here, so I have to come up with something else. I want to clean up some of the plants in the front yard as well, so landscaping is constantly on my to do list. The problem is coming up with a solution for land where nothing will grow.

Guest Room

I can’t believe I’m showing it in this state, but here it is. The guest room has looked pretty sad since I’ve moved in and that’s why you’ve never seen it on social media. It’s very thrown together with random things from around my house, and I want to make this room a little more put together. It’s also become a dumping ground as you can see and I want to fix that. I want to get a bigger bed and rearrange the space to have a little better fengshui!

I have more things on my list, but don’t want to be too ambitious! Let me know what project I should do first in the comments!
