Home Improvement List
Sep. 29th, 2003 10:37 amKitchen:
Wallpaper
Paint
Stain and install chair rail
New stove (well, new to us anyway - ours is from the 70's original to the place)
New dishwasher (well, new to us - ours is 13)
Replace outlet/switch with new parts and covers
Install fan light
Tile floor (?)
New knobs for cabinets
New stove fan hood (already done!)
Second bathroom:
New wallpaper - paint celling instead of wallpaper
Paint trim
New knobs for cabinet
New light switch/outlet
New rug
Master bathroom: (major projects!)
New fan (done!! yes a working fan again!)
New wallpaper
Paint trim and medicine cabinet
Paint ceiling
Retile shower to get rid of mold problem
New shower doors/drain/fixture with hand sprayer
Replace outlets and switch
New cabinet knobs
New countertop/sink/faucet (alas I spilled something on the old one, anyway the black fake marble is ugly)
Other:
Replace dining room/living room/hall carpet with wood (maybe later)
Repaint rest of walls white (fresh paint, hasn't been painted in 10+ years)
New patio furniture (for spring - nothing expensive, but old rusty metal isn't safe) Also plant flowers this year.
Replace master bedroom A/c (I think its going, DH doesn't agree)
We found a handyman who has already started work - he got rid of the dead fan and the kitchen wallpaper is stripped and the hood installed. We still need to move because its a 2 bedroom but it will look a lot nicer. We are keeping costs down (the wallpaper was Home depot clearance bought in 2002 - and we are leaving all the cabinets - we like walnut and they are in fine shape, knobs are cheap.) We wouldn't be replacing the master bathroom counter if I hadn't spilled something on it.
