The Ultimate To Do List for our House


You all know we're literally knee deep in our kitchen renovation and that was the first project we really jumped into from Day 1 of owning the house.
We have big dreams for this house, and buying a fixer upper it's important to know what projects are sprints, and which are the marathons. There isn't one nook, one cranny, one spot in this home that will "eventually" be made over by us. The first of which was our kitchen - and that my friends is what initially will take us on our journey of turning this house into a home.

I wanted a spot I could document, along with all of you, what are big To Do list for projects are, and which we've accomplished. So I thought I'd do a full Home To Do list here, and come back often to scratch it off our list, if and when we complete any of our tasks.
Now this is actually a very "broad" list at this time. I think I'm going to do individual posts with a more detailed list per each section, or project come closer to that time.

Obviously each "room makeover" has 100 to do's for each room, as not a single room is just a cosmetic change. With each room, I'll be doing an entire gut and making it over including rebuilding closets, replacing doors, adding new trim and molding, new fixtures, etc etc.

Now, who wants to come help us?
