Year of the [Room]

If there is something to be learned from our adventures of the past few weeks (uh, months?) it's that redoing your whole house is ... not easy.  But just letting things age forever isn't great either.  And we plan to be in our next house a long time.

  

My bright idea is to do one room per year.  So if that year is (say) the Year of the Bathroom, you have a whole year to do everything you would want to do to the bathroom: declutter, repaint, get new fixtures or fix up the old ones, redecorate, the works.  The outside of the house would need to count as a room or rooms, too.  That way, you'd cycle through the house roughly once in a decade, which is probably about how often you should do a serious update.
