We are redoing our entire master bedroom and bath!

We are buying our first home!!!!!!

Love to decorate my porch with pumpkins, hay bales and mums!

finish unpacking moving boxes and begin kitchen remodel

the master bdrm is finished. the bath is ripped apart. october will see it finished and we'll start on the kitchen. a wall comes down, new island,floor,counters,lighting,etc. my contractor promises to finish in time for a christmas party. fingers crossed!

i moved into my new house at the end of July. New floors and carpets are in. this month i am redoing the master bathroom (yeey!), priming all the walls white so that i can have a better idea about the colors, and probably tacking my daughter's bedroom. Don't worry, i'll keep the Houzz fans posted!

As a new empty-nester, I'm going to clean, clean, clean, purge, and ORGANIZE!! It's about time! Oh, and throw in a few college football games complete with tail-gating, too!!

I voted sort clothes because I do that alone but I also help my husband to rake the leaves. I guess my husband wins on that one.

I must raise and rebuild my home due to hurricane Sandy. Since money is an object( to say the least) I need a Color to paint most of my interior. I have many paintings I saved which are thought the house. I need a Color that will not take away but have them stand out. I am 2 blocks from the ocean and will have new gray siding. Good for the seashore area.

I picked sort and store clothing. I love when the seasons change because it gives me an excuse to buy new clothes but, first I have to get rid of some items. I have a rule, for every new clothing purchase I have to give away two items. I hate clutter so this helps me declutter my closet. I live in Atlanta so, I'm still wearing summer clothes but, I will be changing over my closet in the next few weeks. Happy Shopping!

working feverishly trying to get many projects completed in order to list our home. FIRST we're going to contact a local investment group just out of curiosity to see if they would make an offer as is.

Refinishing our hardwood floors. Can't wait until they shine again!

I plan on sorting my clothing and personal belongings as I prepare to move into my new home in December.

I just went through the main floor and touched up all my molding, and walls...got ideas as I was painting. I'm going to make new pillows and change out accessories for a fresh look.

Lots to do, especially that we have nice, warm weather on the East Coast: scrubbing the outdoor furniture so that it's not a dirty gray anymore, but back to teak color; really clean the grill. We are also planning a big landscape project...designs are almost done...need to get contractors bids and then we'll see how much it will be:)

As we speak a new driveway is going in. Not what I really care to spend my money on but it was time.

Need to finish what I started lol

Our kitchen renovation starts on Oct. 14---plans started in June--oven unplugged in June...never thought I would miss an oven...but I do!!!

Gutters and new plantings!

My husband and I are transforming the lower part of our split level into a bedroom, bath and walk in closet now that two of our three young adults have moved out! Empty nest!!

moving into new home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to the Houzz author "Design is in the Details". I decided to give it a try in my kitchen. Over time the appliances had been changed to stainless with black trim. I shopped online and found satin nickel & black pulls. Regular price was $11 to $14 each. I found
them with free shipping for about $2.80. It was like magic how this unusual hardware pulled the room together. Next step is to install the new satin nickel hinges and my new black and satin nickel faucet. Attention to details has made my nice old cabinets look sharp once again. Thanks for the inspiration Houzzers.

Time to clear off the decks, pack up the furniture and blow off all the leaves and debris- it'll look nice- until the next wind storm anyway!

Definitely redoing the porch for fall!

Im a single older woman and I just down sized my home. My family and I have lots of get togethers for parties through winter and cookouts in fall/ winter and spring. My back porch leaves little to be desired. I want my kids to want to come to this house. It means so much to me...

My biggest job wil be sort, repurpose and recycle/store clothes.

October checklist is making a checklist for things that need to be next year!!! I tend to forget what I want to do come next spring/summer. So making a list as I go, I'll be sure to do it next year!! lol

Fall decorations on a new porch!

I have sooo much to do. Just bought an old house 1845... She needs more love than I can afford right now. But my porch will be welcoming all kind of help!!!

Looking for the floor in the garage. I know it's down there :)

Get the wooden front installed on my new dishwasher.

Just maintain and try to save for some new flooring.

swap out cool white linen slip covers for warm gold and red tapestry ones.

A general spruce up of our yard. Planting new bulbs, painting our birdhouse's, touch up paint on garage.

just changed my order for kitchen cabinets from cream to dark wood.Not sure I made the right choice.I had cream cabinets with the pin striped grey stain. I changed my mind to mission
style dark wood.Need help with trying to be happy with decision.I will have dark wood floors. Not sure what counter tops to get.

On se prepare pour l'hiver... On range le jardin ! Et ensuite, on regarde pour refaire la salle de bain.

Since I have a sycamore tree which towers my two story house and is 13 feet in circumference - my fall task is raking leaves

Create a teen space/ "hangout" for my two preteens in my small home! Wish me luck:)

For me it is put away flip flops and tools for rakes and scarecrows.

Putting the garden to bed for winter. lots of pots to dump, clean and store. Dig Cannas Elephant Ears and Dahlias, clean, dry, mark and store in the basement. Then 500 Tulips need to go in. I need to get started!

I'm going to tackle the main bathroom. I really dislike the builder grade mirror that's up. It covers the whole wall above the two sinks. It's glued up instead of hanging with clips which would be so much easier to take down. Going to hang two mirrors up in its place, repaint and redecorate. I have everything to start my project except the mirrors, still looking for just the right ones. Can't wait to get started!!!!

After adding fall decor inside and out, I'll reward my labors with s'mores at our firepit.

Sorting through the clothes goes without saying but number one on the checklist is to get the roof off of the ground and onto the house before it snows!!!!! Lord help me :)

Get the huge laurel in the back yard taken down to size (about 2/3 shorter) so we can have sun in the back yard again! And trim/clean up all the iris & crocosmia & lilies of the valley.
