When it officially turned to fall on Tuesday, it was like a mental switch went off within me.  Immediately, my mood changed and I had a brighter outlook on just about everything.  Fall has always had the ability to do that to me…just one of the many reasons it’s my favorite season.

Just like I did at the beginning of the summer, I thought I’d create a fall bucket list for our house.  But first, let me catch you up on what’s happened with our summer list since the last update.

1. Paint the front porch
2. Paint the back porches and stairs
3. Paint the master bathroom 
4. Paint the master vanity and add hardware and a mirror
5. Install glass in the master shower
6. Install new overhead lights in the master bathroom and closet
7. Paint the dining room
8. Rearrange the formal living room furniture
   
9. Paint the side door and back door red to match the front door
10. Switch out the lights in the office bathroom to match the den bathroom
11. Install blinds (at least in our master bathroom and in the front rooms)
12. Unpack, unpack, unpack so we can have the bear room back (we’ve made a little dent in unpacking)
13. Hang art, pictures, etc. on the walls
    
14. Install cabinets and/or shelves in the laundry room
15. Set up the newly-stabilized garage to be a work space/studio
16. Do some landscaping
17. Repair/replace the back yard fence where necessary

So, we didn’t get through all of it, but I think we had a pretty good run.  The fall list is much shorter, as we have decided to chill out for a while and save up a little more before tackling anything really big.

1. Paint the back porches and stairs.
2. Paint the side and back doors to match the front door.
3. Unpack, unpack, unpack so we can have the bear room back.
4. Install cabinets and/or shelves in the laundry room.
5. Set up the newly-stabilized garage to be a work space/studio.
6. Do more landscaping.

What’s on your bucket list this fall?
