Spring home improvement

Spring is officially here!!!

I have a renewed energy to get lots of stuff done around the house!

We have lived in our house five years now and I am ready to make it a home!

I have lots of ideas and lists of things we need to upgrade but the money has to be there too.

Here are some of my pinterest ideas

We really need somewhere for the kids and guests to hang there coats

and this would be perfect in our "entryway" if you can call it that.

I would LOVE to get family pictures done and have 

an arrangement like this in our living room! Also the color

of the walls is something I am looking into. Ours are to dark for me

now. I need light and  bright to help my mood :)

Another idea for the living room our these shelves above the love seat couch.

I don't know if I am crazy or not but I am loving white cabinets.
I really want to paint ours!! I think I am just love the brightness it adds.

For my so called laundry closet I would love to take the drawers out from underneath

the washer and dryer and add a shelve on top them to fold laundry.

 Also I want to add shelving above that is way more space friendly and useful.

That is my starter list for downstairs.

Also included in that is painting all the walls,

redoing all the flooring, replace sliding glass door blinds,

and buying some bar stools for island. I also need to 

gut, organize and clean every cupboard in the kitchen.

My tupperware corner is out of control. I open it and stuff just falls out.

For Spring I also want to focus on the yard!

Our poor yard need lots of help. I am not a yard person.

We have a small narrow yard so not a whole lot to do with it.

You also can't do much in it either. I would love to be able to entertain

out there since we love to BBQ.

I like these two patio ideas. Doesn't even have to be fancy with all the brick.

Just pour some cement and some potted plants!

I think this is a great start for me and

 if I actually put my mind to it I may do it!
