2010 Project: a room a month January 6, 2010
So, I read about this on Julie’s blog . . . she came up with a clever idea to work on house projects one room at a time, one per month. There are a bunch of things I want to tackle at home, but when I look at the entire list at once, my head wants to asplode and leak brainy stuff out my ears. Also, we are working with limited funds Chez Skittermagoo (thank you, Economic Downturn or whatever you want to call it).
Because I’m usually late to things like this, I don’t have pictures yet, but I do have my list and an idea of where to start. So that’s something!
I don’t really have twelve separate rooms (we have a very open floor plan), so some areas I’ve broken up into smaller bits, which is actually good — I’m sure there are some months that I will be less motivated than others. Or maybe busy knitting or something.
So, here it is; my list of “rooms”, in no particular order:
- Dining room
- Kitchen
- Laundry “nook”
- Downstairs bathroom
- Living room
- Entryway
- Upstairs landing
- Master bedroom
- Master bath
- Garage
- Deck/breezeway
- Hobby room/fiber studio
I’m thinking for January I may tackle the entryway, mainly because it really doesn’t need much and will be an easy thing to start with! Stay tuned!
Ooh, a very good idea!! My bedroom alone could take 12 months.
This is an awesome idea. If I weren’t pretty much focused on overpopulating the earth in 2010, I would join you. Please post pictures and encourage me to try in 2011.
So looking forward to seeing how you do with this. It’s a great idea!
