We're making baby steps around the house, getting beyond the messy things like jackhammering tile & sanding subfloor. I cannot explain to you the amount of dust we've had swirling around this house. It has infiltrated every last nook and cranny in this place. (Did I mention I've been sneazing like crazy?) I have a newfound respect for those home reno warriors that have been working on their homes for years, and blogging every step. With a of couple projects finally under our belts, I see it's not all shiny results that seemingly happen overnight. It's a ton of work, a lot of delays, & a constant stream of receipts from Home Depot. We've laid 640 sq.ft. of hardwood in the kitchen & living rooms, the walls,ceilings and trim have been painted, and my Dad painstakingly refinished all 3 sets of french doors a creamy white. Buh bye, honey colored oak! Hello light. We still have a million projects staring us in the face, but for now I'm happy to cart all the ladders, saws, paint buckets, etc. down to the basement, and pretend that just for a few days, we're done with them. In the meantime, I'll put out flowers, hang some art, spruce up some of my thrifted finds, and just enjoy what we've accomplished so far. Whew!
