2014 House Honey Do List

The house is now 18 years old and we've lived here for almost 8 years. When a home gets that old, there are bound to be things that need redoing or repairing, right?

Well...I've decided that we're going to start attacking things room by room.

In order to get that done, I included a room by room break down of projects in this year's blog planner.

To keep us working on the projects I've laid out, I've decided to put a truncated version in blog form. I've prioritized what we can realistically complete (and afford to complete) this year. I'll be checking the items off on this post as we go and posting our progress along the way. (Keep in mind, some projects need warmer weather than others and some require budgeting...so, we won't necessarily be finishing them in order.)

Here's the plan:

1. Purge clothing
2. Hang closet mirror
