{To Do at the Hertford Home}

Here we go. So, I'm going to attempt to make a list of 1 bajillion things I'm going to do in my house And blog about them, or so we hope.
Good news is, the kitchen is actually almost done, I'm not just saying that. I have 6 cabinet doors to finish stripping and paint. Trim to paint, a backsplash to do (which I will blog about), and counters. (I'm ignoring the floor because it will kill me if I think to hard about it.)

THEN I have to decorate, which might also kill me. Who knew I had no idea how to decorate a kitchen!?

But that's it. It's taken, literally 6+ months, but it's almost here!

But the rest of my house still needs a lot of TLC. Let's start:

THIRD BEDROOM: this room doesn't exists, so it will need everything

And that's it. Obviously there's more, but that's basically the bones of what I need/want.

My totally unpractical thing is to take out the second bedroom in our upstairs that is currently the nursery and make it one big master, with a walk in closet and a master bathroom. The room will only be about 15x20, so it's not like it'll be HUGE, but a walk in closet is on my list of things I NEED in life. Sharing a wall closet with Brock is... not fun.
And our bathroom is HUGE, and not in a good way, it's long and skinny. like 15x5. awkward, and it has a TON of wasted space. So we're going to make it a half and master bathroom. Just a Pedestal and toilet. and the master is going to have a double sink. It's not going to be an insanely huge master bath, but it'll be perfect for us and I think really nice with the scale of our home. This stuff will only get done when we're done having kids, because i love having the nursery outside our room.

I do love my house, it seriously has amazing bones and we were so fortunate to buy a home at such an amazing price that I am able to get it exactly the way I want.

Stay tuned, it's going to be a bumpy ride!
