Although it is very much below zero and there is new snow on the ground, I can't help feeling that spring is on it's way. It's a good clean feeling. The days are getting longer and brighter. It is just a little bit easier to wake up in the morning and I don't feel like hybernating infront of a rolling fire with a hotchocolate.
What do I feel like doing? Renovating!
I feel like renovating almost the entire house! I can't think of any room that doesn't need improvements. I have been going through books and magazines. I have a million and one ideas buzzing through my head all day long. I can't wait to get started.
First we will begin with Ethan's room. Since we moved here we have let it remain a very dull colour, crowded with too many pieces of ugly furniture (IKEA desk) and very little personality. I plan to get started with painting the walls this week.
Next we need to do something about our narrow hallway that leads to the garage. The kids need a bigger space to put on their snowsuits. We might have to rip down some walls for this endevor.
Last on my major to do list is the kitchen. Something needs to be done to make it more appealing. I think the cabinets need to be painted, counters changed, island reduced in size and backsplash replaced. The only problem is that Ian doesn't see any problems with the kitchen. I will have to fight this battle perhaps later in the spring, or early summer...
Now that we have lived in the house for five months, I can see where various problems lie. I can't wait to get started. Spring cleaning might be a little messy this year, but it will be worth it!
