So Nate and I will be hosting Christmas and New Years at our place this year. I am really excited. I love this time of year and can’t wait to get our first Christmas tree and decorate the house up!
To be ready for all the holiday cheer – we have a long list of to-dos to take care of. I just put together a calendar to keep us on track.
Here’s our December DIY List
Finish our Front Room.
This includes any final paint touch ups, installing new electrical plugs and light switches and getting the fireplace ready to use.
Buy a Couch.
Nate and I have just started looking at a section for the great room. We have decided we want a section with a chaise lounge, but have not made a final decision yet. This needs to happen early December so that we can try and get it delivered before the holidays!
Prep and Paint Great Room.
We have not finalized the color of the great room – but we think it will be a purple. We plan on waiting until we purchase our couch.
Before we paint, we have to move the wood stove is going to be moved into the shed and take down the lovely pull-up bar.
Scrape the Kitchen Floor.
We left glue all over the kitchen floor when we pulled up the 1950′s lienlium. Our quick fix was an area rug , but area rugs really don’t belong in a kitchen so its time to tackle the cover up. I plan on doing this gradually during the week nights.
Decorate for the holidays.
I’d like to get all the previously mentioned projects completed by December 15th, so I can then have ten glorious days to enjoy, deck the halls and prep for my family’s most important holiday – Christmas.
I am hoping this time line will not be too hard to keep. Knowing that there will be fun after all this work will make it easier.
Fingers crossed it all works out!!
