What are your Goals for your Home, do you have a list or pictures of these goals?
How organized are they? Do you have a system that keeps you on track?
Maybe you have done a vision board with a poster board.
Unfortunately for me the vision board did not work out so well, I struggled with finding the right photo’s to actually put on a poster board.
Another alternative is creating a vision board on the computer.
As for me, I didn’t like the computer vision board because it wasn’t so easily accessible.
So to solve my dilemma I designed something that is easy for me to customize to my desires, always in front of me, and to keep me on track to achieve my goals.
Here is what I did
First: I took a tablet and went room to room though out the house.
I wrote each room at the top of a page.
Then I and wrote down all of my ideas I had for that room.
This can be anything from replacing a rug to a complete remodel of that room.
From the most inexpensive thing to do to the most expensive.
And also the quick easy switch out to the complicated time consuming changes.
Dream as big as you like, with no limits.
Second: This next step is to draw out the room on typing or graph paper (this does not have to be to scale, this is for your reference only) with the new ideas and goals.
Here are some examples…….
Living Room
- Move buffet to basement family room
- Replace large area rug
- Repaint
- Rearrange the room
- Replace the sofa
Above is for the “easy to do” goals. Below is more of the remodeling goals.
Basement Bathroom
- Replace tub
- Replace flooring
- Replace the vanity
Below are the examples of drawings for these goals.
Make sure you are doing your drawing as you want it to Be after you have completed your goals for that room and on the back of the drawing, write out the goals that you have for that room.
I also did this with my front and back yards, drawing each on a separate piece of paper with all the goals listed on the back.
Examples….
Back Yard
- Build a sauna
- Redo fire pit
- Replace upper desk
After I have all the areas written and planned out, I put all the drawings together in plastic sleeves and hooked them together with a ring.
I hung them on a magnet on the refrigerator for easy access.
Having your goals always in your eye sight and easily available at all times is a great reminder.
To keep up to date on your goals I suggest going over your packet every January.
That way you can update your goals as well as decide what will and can be completed in the new year.
This is another great way to set your budget for different projects.
For me, as I complete a goal, I cross it off and go to the next goal.
Continue this every year until you have completed all of your goals you have made for your home.
I can only hope that these tips help you create, organize, and keep you on track to complete your home goals.
Enjoy and reward yourself each time you complete a goal, no matter how big or small.
