We love our little country cottage home; this house is brick, one level, 1300 square feet, built in 1948 with half an acre surrounded by farm land. It is our first purchased home and really a dream come true despite the projects needed to really make it glow!
Here is a list of what we are planning, and as we go I'll try to document our progress with posts on each project. Not all of these projects are on the list because they need major fixing or because they are a hazard, some are on simply because we know we can make it better or would like to make it nicer in our home. Also, this list does not reflect what order we will be tackling these projects in; they are out of order completely. If you have questions feel free to ask and we'll try to answer them the best we can!

Thus far this is the list of both needs, would-be-nices, and dreams for the future. We have time and are investing a lot of money and energy into it already. The bench is almost done (Oct 2021), the built-in memorabilia shelves are almost done, paint is bought for the living room and hallway, and we have everything we need to get started on the bookshelves once the bench is complete.
It's a lot, but we're enjoying the process and are excited about the outcome! We'll try to update regularly as the projects continue.
