2020 Goals

Ah, 2020. We finally meet, and shockingly there are no flying cars or monkeys integrated into society like I predicted when it turned 2000 in 4th grade. I have this distinct memory of my teacher giving us a writing prompt of what we thought society would be like in the year 2020. Anyone else do something similar?

Alas, here we are a month into 2020 and I’m just going to be boring and share with you our home and a few personal goals for the year. Same as always, we NEVER get through the whole list in a year. Either we over plan, or we stink at sticking to a list.

Home

• Playroom / Sewing room- why yes, this was on the list last year and didn’t get done. It is happening this year.

  • Paint walls

  • Paint ceiling

  • Paint trim

  • Install new floors (and subfloor)

  • Built-in desk

  • Furniture + storage

  • New lights

• Bathroom (downstairs) - this was the first project we did when we bought our house. It has a leak in the ceiling that needs fixed, and it is off the playroom so we are installing the new flooring in there as well.

  • Demo!

  • Fix ceiling

  • Paint

  • New flooring

  • Re-install vanity

  • New toilet

• Nursery - Our sweet baby girl coming in July needs a room. I’d love to get it done before she is born… and not 4 months after like Theo’s room. She’ll be bunking with us for the first 4 - ? months but I’d still like to have a space ready for her.

  • Paint closet

  • Install closet organization

  • Paint room

  • New rug

  • Curtains

  • Paint dresser

  • New light

  • Decorate! (I feel like this is such a long list…)

• Outdoor Playset - the main reason for moving the garden boxes last year was to make room for an play area for kids. We’ll likely just buy one you assemble yourself, but I can’t wait to get it done for Theo to play on all summer.

• Patio Steps - We’ve had a door with a steep drop-off for a few years now, and it is time we get it fixed, so Theo can run down those steps to get to his new play set.

• Kitchen - maybe…. last year we had plans for a big makeover in the kitchen that we never got around to. This year if we get it all painted (ceiling, trim and walls) I’d call it a win.

How about you? Set any goals for 2020 or DIY projects to get done?
