2026 Master List of Home Goals

The Grasp Bed room

The primary order of enterprise this 12 months might be to complete our bed room. I made lots of headway on this room final 12 months, so I’ll choose up proper the place I left off on the finish of final 12 months. If issues go as deliberate, I consider I can get this room completed fairly shortly after which transfer on to the following challenge. Earlier than I can verify this room off of my listing, I nonetheless have to:

Hold the upholstered headboard (I made it throughout my break, nevertheless it’s simply sitting on the ground proper now)

End the upholstered mattress base (I received most of it completed throughout my break, nevertheless it nonetheless wants some particulars completed),

End the second lamp makeover,

End stitching the curtains (I made progress on these throughout my break, however nonetheless have a technique to go),

Make a canopy for the attic entry,

Construct a TV body,

Have the brand new art work matted and framed, and

Paint the little facet desk by the recliner.

Bed room Exterior

Final 12 months, we had a window eliminated and a door put in within the bed room. It seems to be nice from the within, nevertheless it’s nonetheless unfinished on the skin. The entire function of the door was to present us a fast exit in case of emergency in order that I may get Matt out of the room simply, however till I construct steps and have ramp entry, it gained’t serve that function very properly. So I have to…

Paint the door and the trim,

Construct steps and work out the ramp state of affairs, and

Add some landscaping

The Bed room Suite Lobby

This space is so near being completed. It’s principally simply little tasks that stay. I nonetheless have to:

Sand and paint the ceiling the place the ceiling mild was once,

Substitute the broken wallpaper,

Add small trim across the closet doorway the place the wallpaper ends,

Paint the doorways (all of them want yet another coat of paint),

Transfer the router and patch the little gap within the ceiling,

Add privateness movie to the French door glass, and

Set up the entire door handles/pulls.

The Bed room Suite Storage Room

The room that has been our predominant visitor rest room since we moved into this home goes to be transformed right into a storage room. I do know this sounds loopy to most individuals, however this room is inside our main bedroom suite. And it’s simply bizarre to have a visitor rest room inside a main bedroom suite. But additionally, we want a storage space for Matt’s gear — wheelchair, bathe wheelchair, Hoyer carry, and so on. And this simply occurs to be the perfect-sized room inside our bed room suite to serve that function. We additionally have to get the recent water heater out of the sunroom, and that is additionally the proper spot for that. So to show this room from a rest room right into a storage room, I have to…

Tear out nearly every little thing,

Restore or exchange the drywall,

Have the recent water heater put in in right here,

Add or exchange flooring (there’s no tile underneath the tub),

Organize and manage the room for storage.

The Studio Lavatory (i.e., The New Visitor Lavatory)

This room is a multitude for a number of causes. First, the pump for the bathroom and the sink stopped working properly over a 12 months in the past, so this rest room hasn’t been used since then. But additionally, at one level, I had a plan to show this rest room right into a walk-through pantry. So at that time, all plans to complete this rest room or make repairs had been suspended as a result of I didn’t need to put extra money into it solely to show round and tear it out.

However now, plans have modified. The toilet will not be solely staying, however it will likely be our one and solely visitor rest room for now. I’m hoping that this might be non permanent and that we’ll finally be capable to construct an addition onto our home that features a model new (and extra centrally positioned) full visitor rest room. However till that point, this would be the solely visitor rest room in our home. And even when that occurs, our plan is to maintain this rest room in my studio. So to get this rest room guest-ready, I have to…

Have the pump repaired or changed,

Wallpaper the partitions, and

Substitute some trim (together with across the mirror)

My Workshop

Final 12 months presently, I targeted lots of my power on the outside of my workshop. I received many of the huge tasks completed to show the unique grey, boring field of a constructing into what seems to be like a cute little cottage sitting in our again yard. These tasks had been enjoyable, however aside from the entrance steps and the concrete ramp, they didn’t actually enhance the perform of the workshop. So this constructing has served as storage for the final 12 months. This 12 months, it’s time to show my consideration to the within and switch this constructing right into a practical workshop the place I can use my woodworking instruments. To try this, I have to…

Have electrical energy run to the workshop,

Add numerous lighting and shops,

Shut up the partitions (in all probability with OSB, not drywall),

Constructed numerous storage and work tables for my instruments, and

Set up a storage door opener.

And on the outside, I nonetheless have to…

Add a planting mattress across the constructing,

Add exterior lights by the entrance door and the storage door.

The Sunroom

I hate this room a lot, and consider me, I’d love nothing greater than to tear it down ASAP. However the truth of the matter is that we want an area for our exercise gear. So till we’re prepared to start out constructing our addition, the room wants to remain, and we have to use it as a short lived residence fitness center. I’ve no plans to spend some huge cash on this space because it gained’t be staying long run, however I have to make it usable for the quick time period. I have to…

Filter out all of the stuff (promote, give away, and transfer issues to my workshop),

Take away the carpet,

Paint the partitions and ceiling,

Substitute the damaged wall unit A/C,

Get our exercise gear arrange.

In order that’s the place I’m headed this 12 months. After all, I’d love so as to add different issues, like a full kitchen transform, however I’m attempting to be life like so far as time and price range go. I feel if I could make it by way of these tasks, it will likely be a profitable 12 months, after which I can probably begin off subsequent 12 months with the kitchen transform I’ve been dreaming about.
