The past two years we were rather busy, but not much on this to-do list got done. Instead we were busy with wedding planning, honeymooning, and getting a nursery ready. Such fun! But now it's time to get down to business with this house!
Before we get started with this year's to-dos let's take a look at what we did manage to get done project wise this past year.
Now onto the dream list for this year and let's be honest the next couple of years. Hey, we have a new born after all.
Basement - We are still a long way off from our basement being complete. We still need to do the electrical and plumbing then get the space inspected. Once we get the okay we will move on to drywall and carpeting. Doors and fixtures will be next. We are planning on building a bench with hidden storage for baby girl's toys and such. After all of this fun stuff is done we will have to move on to an entertainment center, couch, chairs, desk, guest room furniture, etc. Really do we even need anymore to tasks with this project on our list?
Living Room - It will be getting a more formal setting since our family fun area will be moving downstairs. After the past year of searching I'm hoping we finally find an entertainment center that meets our needs. I'd also like to find a large round mirror for over the mantel and clear out all those pictures by finally getting around to making shelves in that crazy empty space in our living room wall. We are also going to need to find some storage for what toys Payton will be keeping upstairs.
Kitchen - The kitchen is a room that is going to take saving up for, especially after our big basement project is complete. We have talked about adding new counter tops, installing a new sink, and adding some back splash. Maybe even extending our sink area into a bar. Depending on how long we stay in our little casa we might have to revisit our kitchen table. It might be a little too big for little ones. Most of these tasks will most likely be moved over to the 2013 to-do list.
Of course we will probably add some small projects here and there that aren't on our big plans list, but we will share those as they come about. Does anyone have any big plans for their house this year?

- Start finishing the basement - SUCCESS! Who would have thought the biggest project on the list is what we would have put the biggest dent in?
- Finishing up the buffet, another SUCCESS! It took awhile, but we finally got that yard sale dresser from trash to a nice useful piece in the kitchen.
- Getting the guest room to a space we love, our final SUCCESS! However, with the completion of the basement well on its way this will be re-added to our to-do list. The guest room will be getting a new location on the basement is fully completed.
