Home Projects - Baby Edition

Now that we have decided to stay in this house for the next four years and we have a baby on the way, we have more home projects to complete. We will do some of these and my co-worker will help with the others. {I work in construction} I always love following home projects on the blogs I read, so I thought I would share for anyone interested.

Nursery

1. Remove current items in room
2. Deep clean the room {it's currently a dog room}
3. Remove existing ceiling fan & replace with new
4. Remove dog door and patch opening
5. Paint
6. Curtains for window {& new ones for the closet}
7. Hang shelves & artwork
8. Furniture - crib, dresser, glider, lamps, rug, etc.

Backyard

1. New A/C unit!
2. Move dog potty area {gravel} to dirt patch on other side of the house - We obviously don't want those smells wafting through the window into the nursery.  
3. Extend sprinklers and lay sod in the old dog potty area
4. Remove dog fencing
5. Transplant tree to provide shade to the outside wall of the nursery

Entire House

1. Replace can light connectors. Our current ones are constantly going out.
2. Rugs
3. New flooring in living room, kitchen & hallways. Bedrooms & bathrooms already have travertine tile from our original remodel 5 years ago. We would love dark wood floors, but it will depend on the cost.
4. "Spring Cleaning" - throw away/donate/garage sale items we no longer need and organize storage bins & storage areas in the garage
   

Kitchen

1. Finish tile countertops
2. Install trim at base of cabinets
3. Stove hood
4. Hang shelving

Bathrooms

1. New door for master bathroom. Currently it opens into the room and causes problems when Apollo sleeps right outside the door. We need a pocket door or sliding barn type of door.
2. Install bathroom fans
