Buying the House... so much to do!

I, like any new home buyer, want to make my new place as nice as I can make it (without blowing too much $$$). This means prioritizing! With so many ideas and so little money, I was really stressed out!! That was before I sat down and really organized my ideas:

1. I created a list of every room in my house and I wrote everything I wanted to do to each room.

2. I organized my list into: Need/ Want!!!/ want. This helped me realized what projects I would probably want to tackle first.

3. I created a realistic timeline for when I might be able to do the projects. I started filling in the timeline with the "needs" and went from there.

Of course, step four was to create an excel sheet to organize my budget... but I'll share that a little later this week.



How do you prioritize your projects?
