“This is the year we redo our basement. That sound you hear is our daughters laughing hysterically. That’s because my husband and I have been talking about remodeling the basement pretty much since the beginning of time. I don’t know if we’re lazy or just plain chicken of change. In any case, 2012 is the year. Seriously.”
—Vivian McInerny, managing editor
“I want to add a few animals to my urban homestead, starting out small with angora rabbits so I can use their fur to turn into yarn. Chickens, bees and maybe even a goat are in the near future.”
—Emma Hall, web editor and writer
“I’m going to finally gut my 1970s bathroom with its black-and-white checkerboard tile and create a mini Zen spa. No small order for a space that’s not even big enough for a tub. ”
—Robin Doussard, editor
“I’ve got to get rid of my Bed in a Bag decor that no adult man should still be using. I long to be the Queen of Sheba lounging in a new bed on a cloud of crisp, white luxury-hotel-quality bedding. I want Ian Schrager to weep with envy.”
—Jon Taylor Carter, creative director
“As I get closer to 30, my used Craigslist couch becomes more and more embarrassing. The time has come to grow up and purchase a brand spanking new couch from an actual store. Reduce, reuse, recycle can only be taken so far. ”
—Sophie Goodwin, designer
