#houseonthecreek 2015 Goals

4 more months until 2015 is over! Ahhhh! Where the hell did the year go?  The #houseonthecreek is coming along great. In 2015 we added a patio and a beautiful table to the backyard. Perfect for enjoying dinners on the water. Finished sodding the back, side, and front yard. Oh my goodness does it look amazing! We added landscaping around the new patio. Painted my office and added a custom wooden wall. Painted Lorelei's room and moved her into a big girl bed.

My goals for 2015

• Paint Inside of the house- thanks to a friend she referred a great company! And the price is right! Thank God my husband is anti painting too because he agreed to hire them to paint the entire house!!! The house gets painted on Monday. They said it should take 2 days. Price was $690 for labor and we are paying cost for paint! Cost!!! That saved us $300 alone.
• Fix trim around the outside of the garage
• Paint 3 bathroom cabinets.
• Add a shelf in between master bathroom cabinet for towel storage
• Add Shed to backyard- move yard equipment to 8x7 Rubbermaid shed. Yesterday Nate went to buy a new shed from Lowes. Price...$799. He checked Craigslist one last time and found the exact shed 4 months old for $300....SCORE! We picked it up yesterday!
• Paint Garage Walls...What's your thoughts on this. when I googled it I don't like what I see. It think it makes the space look dark. Our walls are already painted white. I might just keep them white.
• Reorganize garage- since adding the 4 kayaks and weight bench our 2 car garage is feeling smaller than the hall closet.
• Create Desk for Ethan's new all in one computer & create a homework space for him. 
• Chop down the big bush taking over front flowerbed
• Move stones from around fire pit to side of the house and sod around fire pit (last pallet of sod!!!)
• Building a kayak rack by side of the house for 2 of 4 kayaks.
• Print our family pictures from the marina on canvas.

 

This is the paint color for our master.

Goals for 2016

• Landscape front 2 beds
• Building 4 trellis and add vines to grow up along fence line
• Paint and add cabinets in laundry room, change light
• Paint both kids dressers
• Outdoor shower next to kayak rack
• Front door scroll décor
• Change art work in dining room

Build 4 trellis for along backyard neighbor's fence. This is a picture of the ones added to the front of the neighborhood and my sister also has some smaller ones in her backyard. I love the color and softness it adds to a boring fence.
