month by month i've worked on a different room. i've gone month by month so that i'd have a realistic deadline. a goal. also financially. each room must be done for about $100.
august my daughter's room. painted dark brown trim white. painted the walls green. painted the furniture blue or white. made my own artwork. sewed a bit. had a blast doing it and decided that i wanted to move into her room. 
september was the big month - the kitchen. dark wood cabinets were painted pot of cream white. a chalkboard door was added to the pantry. the walls were painted a gray blue. the counters were accessorized with apple green decor. love it. october is going to be a slower month. trim in my hallways painted white. hallway linen cabinet painted white with sage in the back of the cabinet.
november is coming though. a big project month. demolition will be involved. we are tearing out our coat closet and replacing it with a bench and hooks. more practical for our lifestyle. financially this will also be a bit over the $100 budget. that is why i am asking for it for my birthday. i hope on november 7th i will be celebrating my 28th year by ripping down drywall and painting beadboard.
of course i have a plan for the entryway. not original of course. here are some ideas i plan to copy.
here is the before:
the closet will be replaced by something like this:
(from bh&g website)
on the wall opposite of the closet i plan on doing something like layla did on the wall in her dining room at the lettered cottage:
can you picture it? light. airy. welcoming. that is the goal at least.
