Instead, I'm going to focus in on the laundry room and a couple of small things in the bedroom. There's tons to do and it will definitely take the entire holiday. Here's what I'm hoping to accomplish:
Laundry Room (Budget: $150)
- Take down the shelving on the exterior wall. Losing storage you ask?!?! Crazy as it sounds, right now the extra wire shelving just makes the room look crowded and cluttered.
- Paint the walls and the floor (Mint walls, white and navy stripped floor).
- Find wall cabinets at the Restore to hang above the washer and dryer, paint them navy.
- Find a small rug.
- Taking down the shelving means I have to find some alternative storage for my pajamas, towels, Gary's shoes, and a few other things.
- Build a shelf cover to hid Gary's wire shelf. Spray paint the rod hooks navy, cover the rod in pretty contact paper.
- Build a shelf to rest on top of the washer and dryer.
- Spray paint the metal detergent navy.
- Get pretty baskets and jars for detergent, socks, undies, etc.
That's A LOT to do on $150! Let's see if I can make it happen!!!
Bed Room -- (Budget: As cheap as possible.)
- Get paint to match current color; patch holes and do touch ups.
- Find curtain rods and curtains (going to be EXPENSIVE because I need ten panels).
- Get a new shower curtain.
- Move blue dresser down stairs and paint dark blue or red.
- Start looking for cool side tables, mirror, wall art, pillow shams, etc. I want the room to have a really eclectic look so I'll be slowly finding unique pieces at the Goodwill, yard sales, and thrift shops.
I'm getting started this weekend!! I'm excited and I can't wait to blog about my progress!
