Goodbye old couches...

Have you ever had furniture that had been handed down one too many times?  My couches were given to me from my brother who had received them from one of his friends.  By the time they came to me, they were not in the best condition.  After being sat on every day for three years by myself and three different roommates over the years, they were ready to go.  When I put them in the garage, I could see all the memories of the past few years.. Nail polish, red wine stains, fake eyelashes (thank you Claire. :) haha), and a list of other forms of makeup as well.  Luckily, my mother felt a little sorry for me and helped me get new couches.  This is what the living room looks like now: 


There are still a few things I want fix up in the living room and with the rest of the house:
1. Redo the coffee and end tables (paint and redo the glass top)
2. Put up pictures on the far wall in a photo collage.. 
3. Change the small bedroom into an office
4. Redo kitchen cupboards (paint a cream/ivory color, add hardware)
5. New front porch (new porch, new screen door, columns)
6. New windows
7. Bathroom (new tile, bathtub/shower)
8. Pave the driveway
9. New siding
10. Finish basement

The first 4 on the list are things that I can actually do myself and are within my budget.  The last 6 are things that I would love to do, but that may take some time and additional funds.

Do you have a long list of things to fix up at your house?  What types of things need done?
