I've been trying to organize and straighten up around the house. I've been inspired by shows, magazines, and pictures of incredibly clean and minimalist homes. I've also been inspired by shows like Mission: Organization, Clean House, and Mix it Up. Here's what I have in mind:
Organize Garage - storage, athletic equipment, garden tools, hardware and tools, cleaning supplies
Make Garage into a nice living space - Workout room, couch, home office, magazine and book bookcase, doggy haven
Update Curb Appeal - add flagstone to flank driveway, and curved walkway from sidewalk, add more solar lights, add wisteria or bougainvillea, add screen security door, waterproof fence, seal concrete, and add fountain
Backyard landscaping - add dog kennel, dog run x 2, modern concrete steps; secure gate from dogs and use space as garbage/recycling/green container caddy (install two way lockable gate latch), build red concrete wall w/ fire pit and seating area, set up rock garden, build and install barn door w/ galvanized roofing front, install flagstone landing, install deck and modern arbor, install contemporary light, put up bougainvillea, cherry blossom tree, japanese maple, bamboo grove to drown out neighbor's ugly ass light fixture, add moss, natural stepping stones, pine needle mulch, outdoor sink and hand-held shower (cover w/ bamboo), two wire gates, and re-arrange gravel (may need to get new gravel for rock garden; get blue-crushed gravel instead of pea gravel)
Living Room and Dining Room - paint light brown, paint bathroom grey and add accents (bamboo, leaf frames), paint room divider to make look like concrete, paint folding doors black, attach together, and place in DR to hide vacuums, make rollable seating storage, upholster, and face with masonite (add file folder to one), create frame around leaning mirror (black), look for nice catch-all w/ concealed storage to put under main artwork (probably chocolate)
Kitchen - install dining table to hang from ceiling (conceal wire system), paint walls red, including backsplash, install under cabinet lighting, re-organize food, freezer, cabinets, and pantry, add nice baskets to top of cabinets, and add herb container for middle of the island.
Cleaning plan - clean sectional, green couch in garage, carpets in the entire house, especially stairs.
Upstairs hallway - paint laundry center red, install black cabinets and place attractive towels, etc. within, eventually buy red pax closet for hallway (make versatile for clothes storage and computer hutch), re-arrange and organize all closets in hallway, add solar tube light in hallway eventually.
Small Guestroom - paint furniture dark grey (w/ black tops), and add modern hardware, re-arrange closet organization, and move bed in middle, put six-drawer dresser where bed was, replace light with track system, add paper blinds from madter bedroom. Make bed modern with plywood underlay and maybe a headboard
Guest Bathroom - paint teal blue with chocolate brown accents (sink conceal), add modern light, add frosted veneer to sides of mirror, retain color motif in bathroom.
Large Guestroom (baby room) - maintain old world japanese motif, add wood paneling, paint closet door brown, add tansu storage, re-arrange closet for baby, etc., add crib and baby supplies, add japanes accents (seating pad, etc.)
Master Bedroom - finish closet organizer, add casters to seating area, coffee books, and seating pad also. Add lights to headboard (oh yeah, headboard too!), creat large artwork for blank walls above and adjacent to computer desk (maybe on one wall a series of elevated hanging shelves - in birch ofcourse), paint entrance into bathroom to look like concrete
Master Bathroom - paint dark grey or keep blue color from Master Bedroom (if blue, keep ceiling white, if grey paint ceiling, eventually----replace carpet and linoleum tile or laminate, replace drawer fronts and paint (chocolate?) and add modern hardware, place frosted veneer in middle and sides of the mirror (sides are thinner), add curved plywood to conceal wiring of two modern lights above each sink,
Walk-In Closet - add halogen light, and install closet organizer......Whew, me so tired.
