The Someday List

I guess all new homeowners have one of these. Some call it the 5 or 10-year list. We call it our Someday List because we have no idea when we'll actually be able to do these projects and if we'll even live in our house long enough to get to them. But it's sure fun to dream! And now, a few entries on our Someday List. I'll admit I've been collecting pics for our Someday List for awhile and can't remember where I got most of them. If I used your pic, let me know!

1. Butcher Block Island

We have a fabulous (huge!) island in our kitchen, but the tiled surface is dreadful for baking, cooking, etc. and it's really dark so it sucks a lot of light out of the room. I'd love to replace the top with sealed butcher block. Perfect for baking loads of Christmas cookies and it would look lovely with all the natural woodwork in our home.


2. Tile the Kitchen Floor

Right now we have hardwood floors throughout the main level of the house. They are in pretty good shape, but there are sections in the kitchen that look a little rough. We'd like to lay tile to define the kitchen area and create a more cooking/baking/messy-friendly space. I'd also like to install a nice wood transition piece from the tile to the hardwood. Isn't that pretty? If Andrew can build a canoe, surely he can build this, right?


3. Kitchen Backsplash

I love me a white tile backsplash.


4. Recycled Concrete Patio

Ok, so this might actually happen this summer, but I have a feeling it will be more of a Someday type thing. We jackhammered our broken sidewalk and steps and plan to use the concrete chunks to build a patio.


And the list continues...but I'll stop there for now.
