We finally made it into the new place after much packing and cleaning at the old place. I knew it would take a bit of time to get settled but I wish I could snap my fingers and have it done immediately. How quickly you forget how much time it took to get a place looking the way you want it...
So far we've:
- put up a wire fence along the split rail fence to keep the dogs and kid in
- installed new dishwasher (nice stainless one we found on clearance)
- hung curtains (albeit all temporary until I figure out a decor)
- installed faux wood blinds in our bathroom (I mostly did this one)
- assembled patio set (really just pulling the chairs out of the box and assembling the table)
- installed unfinished cabinetry in laundry room
One the list:
- install new faucet and garbage disposal (they are in boxes waiting their turn)
- assemble new natural gas grill for patio
- assemble remaining two patio chairs buried in the garage
- baby gates at top of stairs (to corral the kid)
- install floating shelves in kitchen and family room
- granite tile counter tops in the kitchen (this might be a while down the road)
- glass tile back splash (also a while down the road)
- painting, lots and lots of painting (pretty much every room in the house)
- wet bar (also a while down the road)
- deciding on a color scheme for family/dining/kitchen (so the appropriate curtains/accessories can be purchased)
- new flooring on main floor (wood and possibly tile in the kitchen and laundry/powder room)
- staining the deck
- repainting the front patio railings
- touch up painting exterior front of the house
- starting a garden (maybe we'll go with a flower pot this summer)
- stain unfinished cabinetry in laundry room
On another note our wonderful plasma tv just bit the dust. It was sitting happily on the tv stand one day and turned off for no good reason. We bought it from Costco before they got rid of their lifetime replacement deal. I'm hoping they don't hassle us when we try to get a new one. After all, we went with Costco because they offered this. Otherwise we'd have purchased a similar set at Sams. Just add that to my list of stuff to do.
