A little oversharing

Hey everyone! So, no real new project this week. I'm actually a little blocked on which project I want to tackle next. So instead, I wanted to reflect back to the rooms in house and talk about what we've done and what is still left to do. So, without further ado... 

Living Room

What we've done: 

- Painted the bay window

- Painted the front door

What's next:

- Paint the trim

- Add a rug

- Make furniture for the entryway

Dining Room

What we've done: 

- Bought furniture from a family friend

- Created custom artwork

- Made a shelf for the plates

What's next: 

- Paint the walls (like the family room) 

- I'd love to do board and batten in here. Maybe?

What's next?:

Office 

What we've done: 

- Pretty much nothing. This room is reserved for future baby Z (NOT planned for a while, NOT pregnant in case anyone was assuming anything). Just planning ahead a little and this room will definitely be converted to a nursery so for now, we're leaving it alone.

Basement bedroom

What we've done: 

- Bought new furniture (sleeper sofa)

- Bought an elliptical

- Put stuff on the walls. 

What's next?: 

- Like the office, we're not sure what will happen long term, so this room is mostly reserved for future planning. We may spruce it up a little, but it's good for now. 

Basement bathroom 

What we've done: 

- Nothing

What's next?: 

- Hmmm... I'll have to get back to you on that one. Not sure if sprucing this room up is really worth it. 

So, there you have it. The projects we've done and yet to do. I kind of excluded the outside. Sorry. We've given this house lots of love and I am excited to see where we end up. Hope you all enjoyed my little over-sharing post. :) 

Oh - and have a great labor day weekend!
