2021 Dwelling Targets Check-In
Sooner than we soar into our 2022 residence targets, let’s see how we did on our 2021 residence targets. To ensure that you further particulars on each, I’d leap over to that publish for the specifics. I’ll change the standing of each underneath. Since 2020 was mainly the yr of misplaced duties, we wanted to drag double obligation in 2021, and we purchased pretty a bit checked off the guidelines!
- Customer Bathroom Renovations. FINALLY! We crossed these off our guidelines! Can you think about these have been on our lists since 2014 after which totally different duties (or a pandemic) saved bumping them? We’re thrilled with how every our Jack & Jill bathroom and small customer bathroom turned out! These mainly started the first week of the model new yr in 2021, so it almost appears to be like like they have been carried out a lot longer than they’ve!
- Finish King Customer Mattress room. This one made just a bit progress, nevertheless it’s once more on the guidelines. Sharing further particulars throughout the subsequent half.
- Spray Paint Fireplace. Guys, I don’t how on earth we didn’t deal with to get this one carried out. Together with it once more to the guidelines for this yr, and hoping it should get carried out sooner pretty than later!
- Residing Room Chairs. We lastly modified our outdated bobbin chairs in our lounge with these leather-based beauties! They made their first look in my 2021 summer season season residence tour. Within the occasion you’re on the hunt for armchairs, you will need to strive my publish on my favorite trendy coastal lounge chairs!
- Our Dwelling Office. Clearly not carried out, nevertheless we’re slowly taking steps. Together with it once more to the guidelines!
- Change the Wi-Fi Station. Partially started. I’ll share further underneath, since I’ve added it once more to the guidelines this yr. As soon as extra!
- Decide Out the Upstairs Flooring. Carried out! After realizing hardwood flooring weren’t throughout the funds with all the other duties we had occurring, we lastly had our carpet modified! It mainly wished to be carried out 9 years previously after we moved in, nevertheless we hadn’t wished to deal with it. We included it in our pool house funds/flooring bid after an enormous storm that triggered a roof leak and soaked the carpet in quite a few areas, and we’re so blissful they’re lastly carried out. We love the carpet we chosen!
- Add Further Hydrangeas. With all the event in our yard, we actually misplaced definitely one in every of my Incrediball Hydrangeas, nevertheless we gained 5 further on the west aspect of the pool house. They’ve been planted late fall, so I’m excited to see the color they add subsequent summer season season!
- Our Storage. We’ve got been thrilled to lastly get our storage whipped into type this earlier yr. It involved quite a few purging along with a new storage flooring coating and new storage storage fashions from Good day Storage. So pleased with the highest outcomes!
- Pool Dwelling Addition. It was definitely one in every of our personal five-year targets in 2016 once more after we accomplished the pool, and in 2021 we’ve got been so excited in order so as to add a pool house addition! Whatever the precise reality we haven’t been ready to utilize it in “summer season season mode” however, we already have gotten so much use out of it, and are so blissful we decided to make the addition. And far more excited to have a faithful space to entertain within the summertime months!
2022 Dwelling Targets
We’ve made quite a few changes to our residence throughout the ultimate 9 years! As soon as we bought the house, we already had a laundry guidelines of duties we immediately knew we wished to kind out. Nevertheless, as is the case as quickly as you reside someplace for just some years, further seem to pop up yearly! You presumably can see our 9 yr sooner than and after residence tour for all the progress we’ve made so far. Following are among the many duties we hope to kind out in 2022! We uncover that by collectively discussing them and writing them out, we’re extra prone to carry ourselves accountable for ending them.
Finish the Mud Room
We’ve made quite a few progress in our mud room since we moved in virtually 9 years previously. Thought-about one in every of our very first duties after we moved in was together with shiplap to our mud room wall. Just some years later it lastly all purchased painted. The one concern is, we not at all painted the thermofoil cabinets which will be merely off to the appropriate of this picture.
MUDROOM SOURCES: Lantern Chandelier | Striped Pillow | Associated Paisley Pillow | Gallery Frames (seek for a lot much less proper right here) | Faux Viburnum Stems
Proper right here’s how the before-before appeared shortly after we moved in so that you presumably can see the cabinet setup. The one issue completely totally different on the cabinets is that we added a discipline and crown molding to the very best to extend them a few foot elevated throughout the air so that they didn’t look so squatty. The cabinet frames have moreover been painted and usually are not this almond coloration. Nevertheless the drawers and doorways are. I painted the thermofoil cabinets in our powder tub they normally’ve held up very effectively, nevertheless I don’t assume I’ve it in me to paint these! So, it dawned on me that I’d search for brand new cabinet faces on-line to get a coloration and magnificence I favor. I haven’t actually started that search however, so it could possibly be a pipe dream, nevertheless that might be a simple choice to shortly wrap up this endeavor and have it carried out as quickly as and for all!
Change The Wi-Fi Station
That may be a type of objects that has been on my targets guidelines for as long as I can keep in mind. As I shared in ultimate yr’s publishwe had been using a cabinet from our ultimate house on this spot to cope with our wi-fi parts. It was most likely almost 12 years outdated and positively not our kind any longer. Although this spot wasn’t truly updated over the earlier yr, I did make some progress after I supplied the cabinet by way of the good “new carpet purge”. When Kurtis and I wanted to empty our full upstairs ultimate fall to have our carpet modified, I took it as a risk to not ship points once more in that we didn’t want. Proper right here’s how the realm has appeared since ultimate October. Oops! It’s principally a dumping ground for various objects we’ve got to advertise and donate. Nevertheless I’m determined to get a cabinet once more proper right here ASAP! The actual fact we have got nothing now should hopefully encourage me into movement.
Uncover A Console For the Residing Room
As was the case with the wi-fi station, I moreover eliminated the outdated cabinet that was behind my sofa within the lounge. It was one different piece that we had purchased for our ultimate residence, and it was technique too large for our in the mean time lounge. You principally couldn’t stroll behind the sofa, and getting the doorways open on the cabinet was an issue. It was a type of points we always knew wished to go, nevertheless it was so dang heavy we not at all wished to deal with. Until the carpet purchased modified and we wanted to switch it regardless! So, I’ve slowly been on the hunt for one factor that is virtually as prolonged, nevertheless so much a lot much less deep. I’ll plan to share some selections as quickly as I do some further evaluation! Nevertheless we positively need a substitute in an effort to keep up our lamps and retailer our throw blankets. The realm behind the sofa and beneath these frames is the place the desk would go.
FALL LIVING ROOM SOURCES: SOURCES: Sofas (study my analysis proper right here) | Paisley Pillow | Velvet Pillow | Swiss Cross Pillow | Striped Throw Blanket | Leather-based-based & Wood Chairs | Espresso Desk | Small Wood Hyperlink Chain | Associated Large Wood Hyperlink Chain | Wood Lanterns | Black Vase | Faux Olive Stems | Gallery Wall Frames (seek for a lot much less proper right here)
Uncover A Consuming Room Rug
After our consuming room desk arrived in early 2021, I knew pretty shortly I’d likely be in search of a model new rug. Then we had all the event with the pool house and quite a few foot guests, and I knew it wished to be carried out. We had the sliding door modified going out to the pool house, and there have been picket splinters and drywall mud and further that purchased tracked into it no matter it being lined. It now has an almost fuzzy finish after being vacuumed so many situations. Aesthetically, I moreover would like one factor with just a bit further coloration since our hutch is so imposing and so brown! I’ve almost ordered this rug many situations now, nevertheless I always have such indecision in relation to purchasing a rug. I’m hoping this shall be a quick endeavor to wrap up this spring or early summer season season!

Finish the Grasp Closet
As part of the pool house addition, we constructed out a much bigger closet upstairs in our mattress room. The prior closet was tiny, and if we ever wished in order so as to add on, it wanted to be carried out on the time of the pool house addition as a result of it impacted the roofline. So, we had the realm constructed out and accomplished. Kurtis is definitely taking the outdated closet, and the plan was for me is to take the model new one. Appears cool closet methods are crazy pricey and there are much more selections that we realized. We’ve got been already coping with so many choices throughout the pool house (and funds additions) that we in the long run decided to pause my aspect of the closet. So, we’re actually sharing the outdated closet now (which is even smaller at this degree), and I’ve quite a few my clothes on a six foot folding desk throughout the new space. In full disclosure, we principally added on to the closet for resale features down the freeway as a result of it was a now-or-never scenario. We’ve got been managing merely high-quality with the smaller closet, so getting this space updated isn’t a major priority. Nevertheless everyone knows the outdated one would have been a deal breaker for many individuals if we left it as is. I’m glad we constructed out the realm, nevertheless pumped the brakes on an exact closet system ultimate fall so we’ll truly decide exactly what we want, and by no means actually really feel rushed to order one factor merely to be carried out with it. Along with, that six foot desk is certainly understanding pretty correctly 😉 Nevertheless, merely to wrap points up, I consider we’d every choose to have a selection made and one factor put in by the highest of the yr.
The Dwelling Office(s)
With all the chaos of the earlier two years, and by no means determining what Kurtis’ work state of affairs would seem like, we flip flopped on this one a lot. Now that we have a bit further readability about his capability to do business from home, we’ve got to switch forward with organising further eternal circumstances for every of us. To avoid redundancy, I gained’t rehash our need lists nevertheless this publish on residence office ideas shares what we’re each hoping for. That’s the yr we’ve got to find a reply for every!
HOME OFFICE SOURCES: Cane Cabinet | Wood Desks | Linen Chairs | Striped Pillows | Striped Curtains | Bookcases | White Wood Bead Chandelier | Associated Desk Lamps | Faux Fern Pots | Abstract Art work | Marble Chain | White Bamboo Lamp – HomeGoods (outdated)
Plant ALL the Flowers
Remaining yr was a bit of little bit of loss by means of my planters all through the yard. With all the event, we didn’t have irrigation for quite a few months, and we had tractors parked in our yard for quite a few further, blocking hose entry. For certain, my flowers have been a bit of little bit of a tragic story. This yr, I’m determined to ship them once more in full energy and add just some in strategic planters spherical our pool house. I’m already wanting so forward to it! Vibrant flowers ship me so much pleasure!
Florida Dwelling Updates
This half most likely deserves a publish of its private! Nevertheless, Kurtis and I’ve massive plans for our Florida house. Our spring rental calendar is kind of full, nevertheless we’re trying to squeeze shortly to do just some updates sooner than the busy summer season season season begins! What we’ll’t wrap up then, we’ll likely do throughout the fall. Nevertheless our excessive priority is the precept residing area and together with just a bit Life on Virginia Highway vibes and coloration to the already beautiful foundation! I’m planning to swap out lighting, the armchairs, and possibly the consuming seating. We also have a tentative DIY endeavor consider to see if we’ll jazz up that adjust hood! I’ll share further rapidly. Throughout the meantime, in case you want to see further photographs or strive rental availability, go proper right here.
That about wraps up our residence targets for the yr!
