Summer Project: What Are You Working On?

on July 6, 2009 at 7:53 AM

For a lot of people, summer is the perfect time to try and work on all those home projects that have been piling up. Caham asked the moms in the Home Decor and So Much More group what they're working on:

Kathleen70 says "Well if it ever quits raining here, I need to paint the outside trim on the house and the doors on the pole barn. I had a painter give me a quote on the house and it was just ridiculous. I guess I will do it myself. Probably take me off and on all summer. Dh is insisting that he would like to get the back patio done too."

ladydeiva says "Just finishing my project on old antique desk. Right now I'm sanding it down and later will paint it black with some red showing underneath.I also have to redo my kitchen and family room and formal living room. So there is a lot to do this summer."

Tell me what home projects you're working on this summer...

we put our house on the market about a month ago. we knew that the outside had to be painted so we're working on that now. it's an intense job but so far so good. it's looking GREAT!

My biggest home project would be getting my kitchen painted. I want to change the color and change the look of my cupboards without buying new ones. I also want to change the look of my counter tops. There is so much I want to do in there. I just need to stay out of the pool so I get it done.

Hopefully we'll finish the basement this summer....other than that, I'm working on a book. (Probably won't be finished by the end of summer though - more like the end of the year.)

My summer projects include cleaning my house from top to bottom. That means going through and eliminating the piles of mail and piles of school papers that always build up. With my older son heading for college this August, we also have all the catalogs and paperwork from all the schools that he was looking into. Plus I have to hang up framed photos and pictures that I have leaning against a wall. I've already worked on my garage, and it feels so good to get things somewhat orderly.
