There are some things that we could be doing, if we had the supplies. One thing is resealing our granite kitchen countertops. It's been about two years since we got them, and while they were sealed during the renovation and still, for the most part, have water bead up on them (something I recently learned is the need for sealing test) there are areas that could use some help, especially around the faucet. But we don't have any sealer, dang it.
Another thing we would like to do is to spray paint our mailbox black. Currently it's in a state of white and rust. It's in a stone structure that matches our house, except that now our front and garage doors are black, so when we repaint it, black will make it pop. Plus we've ordered a new address dealie from the same company (Allied Medal Hangers) who has made our medal hangers. They do custom orders and we thought it would be really cool - and yes we are shamelessly copying one that we saw during our walks up and down allllll the streets in our neighborhood. Only ours will be powder-coated black, which, again, will pop against the white stone. Plus it will be rust-proof. I can't wait for the signs to arrive - we're getting one for each side of the mailbox since people approach from both sides thanks to the grassy area in the middle of our street. But the project will be unfinished until we can paint the mailbox, dang it.
An easy project, if I had the materials, is to repot the plant I bought for our bedroom. It's doing great, but the pot it came in is small and it dries out really fast. I don't want to put it directly into the ceramic container because there's no drain hole, plus I'm paranoid about moisture getting onto our new dresser. All I need is the next size up plastic pot from a garden center, which I probably could get for a buck (or even free). Again, not going out means no bigger pot, dang it.
It's doing so well and is even growing a little taller!
There's plenty of room in the planter for a larger pot. I just need to get my hands on one.
Replace the pendant light in the kitchen with a can light:
It's original to the house, which makes it 20 years old...and we still like it.
We kept it during the renovation because we had plans to put our little cafe table back in the same spot. But after having the window unblocked by furniture for a few months, we ended up liking the open feel and ended up leaving it open.
While we are used to it being there, we really don't need a pendant light; plus it'll probably look better to have a can light, which are in the other part of the kitchen ceiling. It will be more cohesive, as the decorators would say. I looked online at lights but because our other lights are older, we will need to work at matching them, which means an in-person trip to the hardware store, and we all know that isn't happening at the moment.
I'm sure as this quarantine goes on, we'll discover more projects that we'd like to do. Funny thing, when we have the freedom to live life normally, we tend to put most projects off. But now, we're itching to get some things done. Have you guys experienced the same phenomenon? Let me know what you want to do when this is over...maybe I'll get even more ideas!
