Projects at CCC

Arnie the Bulldog

As you can see, Arnie the bulldog not only likes blue and white, but ChappyWrap blankets as well. My dogs are likewise ChappyWrap fanatics, and hog the blanket at night. I might need to get them their own. The ChappyWrap Valentine's Day Collection drops today at 10 AM ET. Isn't it darling with all the pink?

New Year's Projects 2022

Palm Beach Home Inspiration

 

I am not really a maker of New Year's Resolutions, but I always have home projects for the new year. I absolutely love the whole process of researching and implementing new plans for the house. For 2022, I have two big projects. 

Projects 2021

Pinterest

You may recall my saying last week that I was looking forward to taking a little break from projects now that my house and garden are done. Well, that lasted 24 hours - LOL. I actually love projects. So here are my next three -

1. Reorganize the garage 

2. New flooring for the lanai

3. Get the Covid vaccine

 Any "To Do" projects on your list for 2021?

Organizing the Garage

Apartment Therapy

This sounds like the perfect project for the new year - organizing my garage. I am fortunate that my sellers had the garage walls, ceiling and floor entirely repainted before putting it on the market. It even has a huge window and plantation shutters. Here is some great inspiration - I love the pails with mulch, topsoil and fertilizer - I am definitely borrowing this. Since most of us enter the house through the garage and not our front door, it makes sense to have it aesthetic. I especially need a nice home for all my gardening things. Any garage organizing ideas you have used that you love?

 

Upcoming Projects

House Beautiful

 This probably falls into the category of "What was I thinking?" but this next month I have lots of projects on tap.

1. Doing a man cave for my husband and redoing the garage were my two big house projects for 2014. I did the man cave for the last One Room Challenge and this week I start on the garage redo. Can a garage have Chinoiserie? I'll post updates over the next month.

2. I ordered all new towels when Horchow was having that great sale on the Ralph Lauren monogrammed towels, and it motivated me to clean out and reorganize my linen closet. My painter arrives a week from Monday to paint it and the garage.

Real Simple

3. We pick up the new puppy in July and as lots of you know, a new puppy is a BIG project, but I am so looking forward to bringing her home.

4. My daughter Kate has wanted to move from DC to Alexandria, where we live, and has been apartment hunting for a while with no luck. So she has decided to move back in here in August to regroup and help with the puppy (the puppy is actually going to be Kate's dog) and keep me company after the loss of my friend. I am so excited! But that means getting the house (and closets - she is a fashion stylist with a huge wardrobe) all ready for her arrival.

5. To top it all off, I am in the midst of a blog redesign to freshen things up after 5 years.

Stay tuned to see if I survive all of this!
