    The one project that I would love to get done this summer is to rip out the hideous linoleum in the kitchen and laundry room and put down VCT. Thanks to all of the great advertisements that are posted here, picking a design was easy!

    put in a shower! we only have one bathroom and one tub with no shower. it has been my #1 project for four years now!

    We have a list of projects we’re hoping to get done by the end of the year; by the end of the summer, I guess our #1 project is to replace our front and back doors. It’s tough finding a suitable style, though; the doors we’ve seen so far (at Home Depot and Lowe’s, for example) just aren’t appropriate for a mid-century home.

    #1 project this summer is replacing all my old wood mulch (that’s so yummy to the carpenter ants) with something else. I recently found a souce for tumbled, recycled glass that replaces mulch–stunning! But I’m saving up for it because the inital cost is high, but will never need to be replaced!
