Master Plans (aka the big list)

I have a big list in a drawer upstairs of all the house projects we need to/want to accomplish over the next few years. Now that I'm "high tech", I figured I'd put my list in blog form so others can check on my progress or lack-thereof on said list. My favorite way to make lists is to also add items that have been completed so I can cross them off and look like I'm really productive. But I don't know how to cross off typing so I'll skip that part of my fun for now.

Kitchen:
- crown molding on cabinets
- shelves above phone
- pantry shelves, new door and interior paint
- tile backsplash for oven
- extend cabinets with second-story
- window seat/bench for kitchen table

Family Room:
- pillows for couch
- new lamp (Neil's been working on one, or so he says...)
- knobs for the built-in cabinets (also in the works per Neil)

Living Room/Dining Room:
- shelving surrounding window in dining room and window seat
- shelves to separate rooms
- trim out ceiling in dining room
- molding in dining room
- new flooring

Entry:
- new closet door
- paint front door
- paint stair rail and new newel post

Half-Bath:
- strip wallpaper border
- paint or wallpaper (leaning towards wallpaper)
- paint vanity
- new counter and sink
- new faucet
- new mirror

Master Bath:
- blinds
- new tile and maybe new tile shower (only if we run out of other projects)

Basement:
- build shelving unit/cabinets
- frame chalkboard
- desk buit-in and shelves
- pillows
- heat!

We still plan to replace all the trim through the house and replace doors with white 6-panel ones instead of the flat wood veneer ones. It was fun going through the ol' list..... I actually got to cross some things off. Progress!
