Home Goals for 2013

Thanks for all of your sweet comments about my Home Goals Review of 2012. Don't worry, it wasn't a performance review.....I have job security here, and couldn't get fired if I tried. 
This year I am setting my 2013 Home Goals with this in mind;

Rather than cut and paste last year's goals into next year, I have decided to sub-categorize them. 

I Really Hope I Get This Done {group}
1. An All White Foyer - I plan on making this my first big project of the new year. 

This inspiration picture is a good start.

2. A Potager (kitchen) Garden - I can't start this until spring, so hopefully the timing will work out.

For me, Martha is inspiration.....and just like Martha, I may hire someone to do the work.
3. Powder Room Makeover - I would like to add wainscoting and a wall treatment above it....wallpaper, stencil, I'm really not sure.

A Pergola Over The Garage

It's a long shot, but I'm dreaming a bit on this one.
Finally
I Doubt This Will Ever Happen {group} aka. My husband's home goal
A Home Generator. Not this kind

This kind

Since I have absolutely no interest in this, and I am the one who would do all the research on it....it is appropriately placed at the bottom of my list.
Go ahead, join me and make some goals. We need something to procrastinate against while we are pinning.

A Pea Gravel Path

What is it about a pea gravel path? I find myself drawn to them....loving them...wanting one. It is March, so I though I would check in on my Home Goals for 2012.....I've accomplished one. On the list is a Potager Garden, the French word for a kitchen garden. The reason I keep calling mine "Potager", is because I am trying to remind myself that it needs some loveliness in it. Like a beautiful pea gravel path

Have you ever installed a pea gravel path? I tried...sort of...big failure. Do you have any tips?

Pergola Over The Garage

I love the look of a pergola over the garage. In fact, I love a pergola almost anywhere. It's winter, so my longing to garden has begun. This is the time when I start dreaming and planning for warmer weather. Since this was one of the wettest years on record, I did not spend enough time in my garden. Of course that only leads to even BIGGER plans for next season! Here are my thoughts:

A white pergola, more boxwoods, and a splash of purple

I would like the pergola over the garage. My garage could use a little zuzhing

Do you have any experience with pergolas or arbors?
