Finally getting somewhere. Still too many started projects that I am too exhausted to finish. Need new windows, stucco updated and a new furnace. (Must win lottery or have them donated.) Single mom seeking benefactor. Haha. Can finally shower in the master bathroom. And finally have a door on the bathroom. My mom is gettingContinue reading “Renovating Update”

Top Posts for 2017
I don’t get a lot of traffic. I don’t post enough. Interesting that my home page was hit 211 times. In fact, on that list, very few are actual posts from 2017 or even posts at all. But here were my top 5 posts of 2017. #1 Industrial Towel Bar This was a post from earlyContinue reading “Top Posts for 2017”
Renovating 407: The Laundry Closet
The washer and dryer fit in a nook in the hallway. The other side of the nook is the master bathroom. This closet even had plastic accordion doors (and came with the washer and dryer). The washer and dryer came out (and sold). Leaky water line everywhere. Which included a fun story about having toContinue reading “Renovating 407: The Laundry Closet”
Renovating 407: The Creative
I was thinking yesterday I should have called it The Updating of 407. Because that is what most of it has been. My dad had to put tar on the dryer vent on the roof the other day, it was raining into my torn up shower. When they put up the new roof, right beforeContinue reading “Renovating 407: The Creative”
Renovating 407: The Kitchen Island
I opened up the kitchen by taking out that wall as you may recall. I really didn’t want such a closed in kitchen and I though a sit at island would look awesome. I wasn’t entirely sure I was going to take that wall down and how I was going to create the islandContinue reading “Renovating 407: The Kitchen Island”
Resizing a Kitchen
There used to be a “closed in” kitchen. Only thing missing was a swinging door where I am standing. All that seventies. Even a boob light. My dad went into the sauna like attic and found the wall wasn’t weight bearing. I got me a hammer and saw. Only problem was, those 2x4s were completelyContinue reading “Resizing a Kitchen”
Renovating 407: 2 Years Later
I didn’t plan to do this much to the house. I didn’t plan on this much money going into it either. And I couldn’t even sell it tomorrow if I wanted to move again (which I don’t) because I have yet to get the shower in the master bath finished. LOL. I thought I wouldContinue reading “Renovating 407: 2 Years Later”
Renovating 407: The Dining Nook
Then Of course when I looked at the house, there was furniture in it. That big dark spot by the arches was a sofa. Now New flooring. No popcorn ceilings. Ceiling fan added. New paint on every inch of space. New door. New screen door. New light by front door. Big mirror gone. Replaced electricContinue reading “Renovating 407: The Dining Nook”
Weekend Distractions No. 9
I joined a furniture group on Facebook. Someone asked the other day what is everyone’s go to paint. Not a lot of people have answered but the majority have said Dixie Belle. There are no retailers in New Mexico. I think I might have to try it out, and if I like it, become aContinue reading “Weekend Distractions No. 9”
Renovating 407: Master Bedroom
Before: The carpet wasn’t as clean as it looked when I put an offer on the house. Or the walls for that matter. As I said before, the 70s had to go. I knew I wasn’t going to live with this golden harvest carpet forever, but it came up a lot sooner than wasContinue reading “Renovating 407: Master Bedroom”
