We have lots of ideas for improvements in our home this year, but only so much time and money (isn't that always the case!) Here is our list of achievable goals for 2011 (and some carrying over from 2010.)
1. Living Room
- decide on wall colour and design direction (on a budget) to suit my leather sofa and love of farmhouse/rustic style. Thanks for all the suggestions on this post (the accessories are just piled there after clearing out the Christmas decor.)

2. Finish our bedroom
- paint pine night tables and dresser
- closet organizers and sew drapes for closet (we removed the cheapo sliding doors)
- new window coverings

3. Adding architectural interest with trim to main floor
- finish kitchen trim from 2010
- kitchen backsplash
- fireplace/tv wall trim in family room (and hopefully add a flat screen and move the old one to the basement)
- basement stairs wall trim

4. Paint main floor powder room
- add some trim to builder mirror
5. Paint main (boy's) bathroom
- walls and ceiling (to cover my really sad attempt several years ago to paint clouds on the ceiling)
- possibly paint cabinetry
6. Finish basement Guest Suite bedroom

2. Ralph Lauren Home 
Okay, that is way too many 'finish' items. I will stop now before it gets worse.
I'm joining the Nester's 2011 Home Goals link up. Then I'm settling in with a hot cup of tea on this snowy evening and reading all the other Home Goal link ups.

What a great list of ideas. You will have a fun year getting the house just the way you want it.
Happy Friday
Your inspiration pictures for your home projects are beautiful. We are also trying to finish what we can at home on a limited budget and time. Your home is lovely already so I am sure that anything you are able to do will just make it more inviting.
Great inspirational photos. Swooning over the Raulph Lauren Home! I really like what you're doing with the architectural trim! Looks amazing so far. Can't wait to see what you do this year! xoxo
Lots of projects - you are going to be one busy girl in 2011. Best of luck with getting them all completed just as you envision.
My best- Diane

Yep!

I've been putting together a to-do list for 2011 too. I had this week off from work, so I've actually gotten started on a couple of them (the easiest ones!) The big one is to get a railing installed on our main floor, in the loft, and on the two staircases. We haven't had railings for over 2 years, which is an accident waiting to happen.
Good luck with your projects - great inspiration pictures, especially the master bedroom. And your wainscoting is looking good :-)
I love the lamps in your living room! Did you make those? They have such a 'furniture' look. Beautiful bedroom! That canopy is great.
