See that chair? That's where I've been sleeping since Christmas. My living area is piled high with boxes and bags filled with pretty much everything I own.
That's red oak. It has to sit now to acclimate for three days until we can nail it down. We have it in the other rooms and the hall so we are just continuing what we started when we moved in almost 30 years ago.
Everything got a couple of coats of bright white paint. Silent White to be exact. As soon as the floor is down I'm off to Ikea for new closet fixtures, a dresser (for socks!) and linens. Then it's over to Home Depot for new doors and lights. Then....it's the kitchen. Don't tell The Mister but its days are numbered too. Nothing can stop me now.

What a project! The room will looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the renovations, it is good therapy!
ReplyDeleteLove the chair! It looks like a poang chair from IKEA. Mandy has one of those and I commandeer it every time I visit. :-). I wish we had an IKEA closer than 300 miles away! Your renovations will be wonderful and I’m looking forward to seeing it when it’s completed. It’s good therapy. Blessings, Betsy

ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how satisfying demolition can be - especially when your heart it aching. And even better is the refresh that comes after it! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteDamn, you are NOT messing around! I love that your home is your project. I'm not a homeowner and seeing the different areas of consideration. (Wood that must acclimate?) is fascinating. Hope you're well, always.
ReplyDeleteYea you! Those textured ceilings are the pits! The new matching flooring will be super nice - I'm glad that someone else has a new 30-year home improvement projects!
ReplyDeleteJust WOW!!! What a great way to channel your emotions into something positive. I admire your talents and love what you are doing with your bedroom. It is going to be awesome. Looking forward to seeing the progression and completion. Kitchen next - you never cease to impress me.
