I know it has been forever since an update. When I started
this blog I envisioned lots of how-to’s and honest reviews of the home
improvement products we used in renovating H2. I made the fatal error every
DIYer makes at some point- I underestimated the sheer amount of time and
exhaustion expended with a given project. There has been so little energy left
at the end of the day that I’m afraid the blogging has been tremendously
lacking.
I’m hoping to do a little back tracking in a few weeks once
the dust starts to settle from the move. We have a tentative closing date early
next week so I don’t have a lot of time to elaborate now. Just wanted to say we’re
still here doing what we do. My husband is amazing, AMAZING, with all that he
can do to save us money in labor expenses. I love my floors, my laundry center,
my bedroom. Room by room we are getting there.
For the next few days we focus on packing and moving. Much
will go to storage and then in a yard sale because it won’t fit in this house.
But I hate to rush to get rid of things that have sentimental meaning, just in
case I can re-purpose them. So we will purge slowly.
I have no shortage of projects, let me tell you. Once we get
the move completed I have to paint a night stand, two end tables, an accent
table, metal stool, the bird bath, an outdoor table, a shelving unit for the
bathroom, and possibly a bookshelf and mirror. Some of those will get
decorative touches, so I’m excited to get crafting. But for now there are
crates calling my name and a boatload of trim needing a coat of white
semi-gloss. I promise, someday I'll finish my series on the stairs and then tell you about everything else we've been up to!
