DAY DREAMING IS NECESSARY WHEN REDOING A ROOM. SO I am day dreaming. This room will eventually be redone. Gutting it is in progress. A new vanity has been purchased. Some plumbing has to be done so all of our ducks are in a row.
A different ceiling and light fixture will go in. Floor removed and redone. Something different for the walls. New fixtures along with a clawfoot tub. New vanity, toilet and new tile floor. Sanding and painting. Whaalaah. A masterpiece will show up.
AS WE GEAR UP TO REDO OUR COTTAGE, I continue to gather ideas of what to do and how to do it. This isn't the first time I have revamped a house. Some I didn't even own, but redid. I guess I grew tired along the way of having spent so much time and effort into remodeling. Along LIFE'S road, I had to rest quite frequently. Mostly living in amongst the messes as the redo took place. Not for everyone. I did and it made me tired.
This go round, we're living in a nice house while redoing the COTTAGE. Still we have things to do to this nice house. My main work right now is thinning out our belongings, going through old papers and receipts, coming up with decorating ideas, usual cleaning and tasks. With age and health issues, I am not completing what needs done very fast. Which gets to me at times.
This week, some of the Christmas trees used for our WINTER WONDERLAND will be boxed up and donated away. I'll be boxing up silver-plated metal ware to group it at the COTTAGE along with old cookbooks. Then I'll box up some of my nice china that's stored in Grandma's Hutch so the piece of furniture can be shuffled to the other side of the Dining room as Hubby is getting ready to paint the other side of the room where the hutch presently sits. He's just about done with the one side and I love it. It looks really nice with the new chandy that's hanging in there.
I'll be taking inventory of my china, so I know exactly how many pieces I have in the BLUE GARLAND China set that I bought from the grocery store when my kiddos were babies. Each week I would purchase pieces that were discounted as many people did across the United States. At the time I had no china and this was a real treat for me. As the years passed, I'd come across additional pieces at thrift stores and sometimes I'd purchase the extra. After awhile my set grew. AND NOW...I wonder if I'll keep it as I don't use it. sigh. My china is about 45 years old. Shall see, but for today I'm thinking about what to do with this lovely set.
WINTER WAS BACK TODAY AND IT BOTHERED ME. Sigh. Spring will eventually get here, but this year it seems like it is taking too long. My old age doesn't like this cold weather at all.
TIME TODAY ALLOWED ME SOME FREE TIME ON THE INTERNET and I came across this remodeling video. Lifted my spirits.
Decorating ideas were found for a Kitchen. Will share. These actually encouraged me to keep on keeping on. I like how this turned out ALOT.
