Wow! If you get that all done, your house will be looking pretty spiffy! It’s a great plan, and your inspiration photos are awesome!
I wrote down a list of all the projects I wanted to complete this year. I was going over it with my husband and he informed me that I had written down 87 of them! Guess I’m gonna need to scale back a bit. LOL!
Awesome projects! i love that they are planned ahead- you can begin gathering and prepping now. They will all be amazing- can’t wait to see how they all turn out.
xoxo,

We have some very similar goals! I hope they turn out well for you! And its great you have planned it so well in advanced!
You go, girl! 😉 I am loving that stenciled backsplash…what a great idea for kitchen that don’t have the tiling. We have tile, but I don’t love it. :s I think you have a great list to work on!
I just want the darn basement done before summer! I don’t want to spend another hot summer upstairs when I could be downstairs enjoying the lovely cool that lingers down there! We’ve been working on it for two years, so hopefully this year’s tax return will finish us up! YAY!
That is an awesome idea (and my hallway of ickyness is totally getting that treatment… love all the hooks!)
Amy I love that you are setting monthly goals! I too set DIY goals… not by the month, though. We are on the same page about revamping and making our master bedroom a true retreat!
Love your idea of doing one big project every month. That is such a better way of planning and accomplishing things. I do like you and wake up on Friday morning and then plan to do something. Love you list of projects
I had the same idea of doing one project a month but in the end I chose 9 that I new I could realistically do in a year…the others I think we are saving up and hiring out…they are major overhauls and I think it would be safer that way (for all involved!) This way if one project takes more than 4 weeks, I won’t feel guilty either (that is just me).
I love your projects listed and can’t wait to see what you accomplish (someday I will have a pantry to redo…someday!)
Here are my projects and goals for 2012

I love that you gave yourself one project each month! That not as overwhelming as having a ton of project to think about all at once!
Amy, all of your to-do projects look so fun! I am inspired! I have a hutch almost exactly like the one above that has been in my garage for THREE YEARS waiting for a make-over! I WILL get that done in 2012. LOVE the project-a-month idea!
This idea is simply brilliant! How great to pace yourself and give yourself a specific goal! Great idea!
