Happy Anniversary to Us!

Today marks 4 years in our house - and it's certainly come a long way since 2009. From when we bought to one year later in September of 2010, we focused on major painting and decorating, plus new windows. 2011 involved energy-efficient upgrades and some pretty significant work to our chimney. 2012 saw some pricy and exhausting changes, like the complete bathroom remodel, and the removal of almost all the liriope from our yard. 2013 was mostly about upkeep, and of course transforming our last un-decorated room into a nursery.

This next year will, for obvious reasons, keep us from doing any significant home improvement projects but we still have a few goals, both do-it-yourself and professional. I thought I'd make a quick list to see how far we get:

• Finish the nursery (duh)
• Get the light fixed at the end of our walkway and maybe get a new motion sensor for the back
• Continue to transform some of the wild area in the backyard to lawn
• Get a new basement door and some nice doors for the rooms off the main floor hallway

Thanks again to everyone for your help and opinions (and for continuing to read this blog long after its launch back in 2009)!
