We made a deal that besides painting, we would wait a year to make any big changes. Well, we have stayed true to that deal and only painted one room. In fact, only one room is "done". Yep, you guessed it, the baby's room. We both love the baby's room and I plan on sharing it sometime, but other than that, no space in the house is done or even close to being done. Heck, we even have an empty room! Ok, ok, it actually has a ladder, so it is not completely empty.
That being said, my goal is to document the process of turning this amazing house that we love so much into a home. It is going to be exciting, frustrating, rewarding and a learning experience and this blog is going to help hold me accountable. I plan on showing it all, the pretty and the ugly. This is an old historic home, so when it comes to painting and restoring, nothing will get done quickly, but it will get done. Here is an ultimate wish list of things that need to be done:
- Paint the interior of the whole house
- Remodel the kitchen
- Light remodel of the current full bathroom
- Remodel main floor bath
- Put in a master bathroom
- Manage the landscaping
- Decorate
We are not professionals at decorating or renovating, but we are passionate homeowners that love our home and want to make is a great space for our family. Stay tuned!
