For as long as my husband
and I have been together, we’ve shared a dream of owning a home. Well, we finally did it! And it’s terrifying! But I hear everyone feels that way, so we’re
just going with it, making one payment at a time.
With our small (for the Bay Area!) budget, we thought we’d end up with
a major fixer-upper but life had other plans in store and we wound up with a
house that was remodeled top to bottom about three years ago. We were still excited for a project, so leave it to
us to find plenty of other things to do.
Here’s a brief list we plan
on tackling over the next year:
Make a built-in in our
dining room
Add a brick wall to our
living room
Make a tufted headboard
Build a dining room table
Add a third bedroom with an
ensuite bathroom
Repaint: I’m thinking Edgecomb gray for all the common
spaces and Revere Pewter for the master bedroom!
The husband wants to tackle some more serious projects like insulating the whole house (darn contractors didn’t do that in their major remodel!) and installing a whole house water filter. Let the DIYing begin!
