The List

I have talked briefly in some posts about our plans for rooms, but I thought it might make a bit more sense to put it all in a to do list dated back to when we moved in to explain my plans for each room. This might get a bit long but I'll try and keep it concise!

Entrance Hallway

• Get storage furniture - A large cupboard or wardrobe 
• Organise the stuff stored in there
• Add art and photos
• Give the room a purpose other than storage and drying washing!
• Once we have the wardrobe/cupboard move items from other rooms into it
• Maybe a runner or a rug
• Organise music equipment

Office

• New desk
• New computer - I'm typing this first post on my new asus eee, well 2nd hand actually it was £75 on eBay and came with a full size screen also and a case, bargain!
• New desk chair
• Update fish tank (this really is a 'one day' thing as the one we have is fine it's just a bit dated)
• Mat under cat litter tray
• Add art and photos 
• Sort out the lighting
• Possibly change light fixture (the one in here came with the flat so we'd have to store it away safely)
• Maybe a rug under the desk, see once we get the desk

Bedroom

• New wardrobes asap
• New bed
• Find use for the old bedside tables or get rid of them - maybe repaint or otherwise update them
• New bedside tables
• Shoe storage
• Bedside lamps
• Declutter!
• Organise under bed storage
• Organise storage on top of wardrobes
• New bedding
• Art and photos
• Update mirror and maybe hang on wardrobe door

Bathroom

• Get some storage solutions for toiletries
• Artwork and maybe photos
• Organise the built in cupboard
• Get a shelving unit for the built in cupboard to store more in there

Living Room

• Get new sofa in
• New coffee table - maybe a trunk or box
• New CD and DVD shelves
• Declutter
• Stands for Toms guitars
• Find places for all the photos and add in some larger pieces
• DIY or buy a roman shade to brighten up the window
• Runner for behind the sofa - maybe DIY
• More cushions for the sofa - some different patterns and colours

Kitchen

• Organise cupboards
• Get a spice rack
• Declutter work surfaces
• Storage storage storage - top cupboards and in cabinets
• Get a nicer dish drainer - done, I don't think there are actually any photos of our old one but it was a silver plastic one we had for ages and it was a bit gross 
• Get a cutlery organiser for the drawer
• Art and photos
• New cups that match or at least look better than work freebie ones!
• Maybe get a rug or better door mat
• Move rarely used items into the hallway cupboard
• Sort out bins, maybe one bin with 2 sections rather than 2 different bins
• New cat bowls

Outside

• Add plants in pots to the front
• Add a window box to bedroom window
• In back garden add plants in pots
• Generally tidy back garden
• Maybe find somewhere else to keep the bikes to free up space

General

• Get some clocks! We have none in the whole house and have to check our phones or the TV for the time
• Sort out all the bills (at the time of writing this I still have not had our final electricity bill from when we moved in here and have not had the deposit back from our last house)
• Find homes for all the photo frames and ornaments, this will probably be ongoing as we move and acquire furniture

The main themes seem to be decluttering/organising and art work or photos. We downsized to move here so are still figuring out our stuff and we have a lot of small photos, artworks and ornaments so I'd like to add in more large high impact pieces to make for a cleaner look.

That's it for now but each project usually spawns another so this will most definitely expand as we go!
