Okay, I've been MIA for about 2 weeks. You guys are not the only ones who noticed, my friends were neglected to. But the house is nearly done, and I'm lovin it!!
We took on many time consuming projects and when we were not doing that we were to tired to communicate to anyone but the dog.
And...in the interest of honesty...things were adding up. And not all 'needs' either. I didn't want to feel guilty about purchases because I waaannnttted them!
But the house feels like home now, and I'm including pictures.
One big learning lesson: Thank the heavens we purchased a duplex- we spent just over $9,000 renovating ONE FLOOR- no way could we have done both levels at once; financially, physically or mentally. We finished 'our unit' and when we outgrow the bottom floor and take over the top floor...we must do everything all over again. But thankfully that's a few years away.
I was concerned about cutting our living space in half when we moved- but 950 sq ft is nice. Not to bad to clean and no wasted space.
Now that things are quieter- I will be back to regular blogging.
our 'found' floor that no one would restore so we had to buy new
our new wood floor for the 2 side rooms.
main living area floor...shined up nice.
living in a construction zone for 2 weeks- pushed me to the end of my patience at times.
Starting to paint.
