Summer Goals Revisited

Well, it looks like despite the fact that we had a very busy summer, we actually managed to accomplish quite a bit!

Our to do list for the summer was as follows:

1. Turn up the curb appeal
2. Refinish a dresser
3. Refinish floors in living and dining room
4. Paint kitchen walls, possibly cabinets too.
5. Finish guest room, living room and master bedroom
6. Begin next four big projects: front entryway, back entryway, office and basement

At the end of the summer, here is where we stand.

Begin next four big projects:

The entryway, which we began and finished this summer.

and also the back entryway (which is in progress), the basement (also in progress) and the office (never started that one)

Refinish floors in living and dining room POSTPONED (due to basement renovation) We decided we didn't want to be tracking dust and renovation garbage all over our newly refinished floors. This one got pushed out indefinitely.

Paint kitchen walls, possibly cabinets too. Painting the walls was relatively easy, and I can't believe I haven't shown you pictures yet! The walls are all done, and my plan is to paint the cabinets slowly, throughout the winter.

All in all, I'd say we did a pretty good job with our goals. I'm happy with what we got accomplished, and I am looking forward to getting even more done!
