I have made mention that Hubby and I are doing house renovations this year, and I have blogged about a few of them.
This is our original renovations list:
● Do something with the built-ins in the family room
● Get Hubby to do something with the built-ins in his office
● Install hardwood flooring in the living room, family room and Hubby’s office
● Paint Sonny-boy’s old room
● Replace the window in Sonny-boy’s old bathroom
● Replace carpet in Sonny-boy’s room, hallway, and if necessary, our bedroom
● New dining room chandelier
This is our updated renovations list for this summer:
● Do something with the built-ins in the family room
● Get Hubby to do something with the built-ins in his office
● Install hardwood flooring in the living room, family room and Hubby’s office
● Paint Sonny-boy’s old room
● Replace the window in Sonny-boy’s old bathroom
● Replace carpet in Sonny-boy’s room, hallway, and if necessary, our bedroom
● New dining room chandelier
● Replace laundry room sink and faucet
● New Roof
● New Gutters
This is what we have accomplished to date:
● Do something with the built-ins in the family room DONE!
● Get Hubby to do something with the built-ins in his office
● Install hardwood flooring in the living room, family room and Hubby’s office DONE!
● Paint Sonny-boy’s old room DONE!
● Replace the window in Sonny-boy’s old bathroom
● Replace carpet in Sonny-boy’s room, hallway, and if necessary, our bedroom
● New dining room chandelier DONE!
● Replace laundry room sink and faucet DONE!
● New Roof
● New Gutters
We expanded the list to include an update in the laundry room, and a new roof and gutters.
The one thing we know will not be accomplished on our renovation list this year is new carpeting in the upstairs hallway and Sonny-boy’s old room (our bedroom doesn’t need new carpet). We are having the handrails on the staircase replaced while we are in Florida early next year, and it was strongly suggested we wait on recarpeting until the new handrail is installed.
Do you have renovations, painting, updating planned for your house this year? If so, what projects are you undertaking?

Howdy there,
I came across your post and noticed that you and your husband have quite the renovation list to tackle. I thought the additions of the hardwoods in the living room and the office made a world of difference — definitely beats having the parquet floor. When it comes to home renovation in general, from my own experience I believe there are a things that EVERY DIYer should know about regarding to safety and hidden dangers. Would you mind sending me a quick email? I’d love to chat about it with you, thanks!
