While we were living in our rental house, which was white, we would call the home we made an offer on The Pink House for Olivia's pleasure. It stuck and now she still calls it Our Pink House :) Here are some stats and pictures for posterity's sake :)
done:
sanding, finishing, painting floors in 4 rooms
touching up 4 rooms with paint
painting the kitchen cabinets
painting the stairs
carpeting the stairs
fixing and painting the back door
building a new bathroom (including bathtub, shower, tile walls, tile floor, fixtures)
rewire the "back room" for video games/movies
remove bushes from back yard
painted kitchen wall
fix leak in kitchen sink/replace faucet
to do:
paint 2 more exterior doors
insulate the attic
insulate the Back Room ceiling and put on drywall
finish the ceiling in the bathroom
touch up paint (or repaint) the hallway, which I can't get the color to match correctly
put trim back in bathroom
patch corners of walls in hallways
finish painting the 2nd coat and design on the kitchen floor
make new kitchen counters
new kitchen cabinets (many years from now, I'm sure)
beautify some of the landscaping
fix the entire carriage house (new back wall, new roof, replace windows, replace doors, fix floor, build work benches, rewire, put in lights, etc.)
build new kitchen table
Here are a few before and after (er, in progress) photos for posterity sake :)
