A few years ago, my wife and I re-did the upstairs bathroom– a small space but a nice size to tackle when you’re doing something for the first time. We installed a new floor, painted the walls and woodwork, modified pieces of the plumbing and added a new toilet, new outlet and switches, molding, re-calked around the sink, and eventually added new lighting. It was a complete makeover that turned out nicely.
More recently, we made 3 sets of heavy-duty shelving for the basement that was almost immediately filled with stuff, and at the moment we’re in the midst of rearranging rooms– moving things around, re-assigning usage and function. The latest project is re-finishing a set of stairs and changing the look of our living room.
