New Year's Resolutions

Projects on my wish list for 2009:
(And I am perfectly aware that a LOT of it is unrealistic)
Bathroom

Retile the floor and the shower surround.
Build custom storage cabinet inside wall.
Repaint bathroom.
Replace medicine cabinet.

Kitchen

Tile countertop and paint cabinets.
Tear out linoleum and tile floor.

Living room

Skim coat and paint walls.

Bedroom

Cut out and build new closet from closed off broom closet in kitchen (it shares a wall with our bedroom). Our existing closet is made from the space behind the broom closet, and is painfully small.
Finish closet floor.

Laundry room

Remove linoleum and level floor.
Remove old leaky windows and door and replace with double french doors.
Tile floor.
Install doors in front of washer and dryer.
Install guest room door.

Guest room

Replace old leaky windows.

Exterior

Remove siding.
Repair and paint brick, hopefully that is all we have to do!
Cover back addition exterior walls. It was a back porch that was enclosed a long time ago, and who knows what's under the siding. If it's just ugly concrete or wood framing we'll have to cover it up with something, like cedar shingles or stucco.
Repair addition's roof and gutters.


Soo, now that I've completely set myself up for failure, let's see how much of this list I actually cross off by the end of this year and then I'll laugh at my ignorance.
