One of my favorite home design/DIY blogs Young House Love created this to do list for all their home renovations. Now I'm a big fan of to do lists. I keep them everywhere from the laundry room whiteboard, to on my planner to on random pieces of scrap paper. So of course it only made sense to keep a to do list of all the things that I wanted to do with the new home. I know life sometimes gets the best of us all and time can be limited so what better way to keep me honest about my home improvement projects! I wish I had done this with our condo because there was so much I never got around to doing with that place. After living there 5 years, there were still rooms with nothing hung on the walls and projects that were left half completed or never even started. I'm determined not to let the same thing happen this time around so here's my list!
