I'm listing the projects that I want to do throughout the house and also the suggestions from my cousin Sunshine. Those from Sunshine will be listed as (COS- Compliments of Sunshine.)
As I start completing these projects I will post before/after pictures and highlight them on the list. There are some of these that will be quick to do and others that will take longer. That's what I like about this list is I can choose something based on how much time I have to devote at that moment. If you see something on my list and you know of any awesome deals or tips for completing the project I'll be forever grateful!! :)
