Well, we actually had to get more than one room ready ... but let's start with the bedroom which was our first 'one room' ...
My husband did the window casings!

The work in that is huge but what a nice room you ended up with! This story is a testimony to hard work! xxx
ReplyDeleteAnnabel, yes, there was plenty of hard work!!!
DeleteWow what a transformation
ReplyDeleteDebbie, it does look different, doesn't it!
DeleteYou guys have done an awesome job! Are you going to fill us in on what you are doing with that other building I thought was a garage a couple of years ago? If I had the opportunity, I would do things like that even though I'm old! LOL
ReplyDeleteSure Charlotte, we'll bring you up-to-date on that project too, it's all part of our little home here.
DeleteHi Patsy!
ReplyDeleteI especially like the photo showing the floor! It looks like a pleasant 'peaches and cream' effect, all up!
You know, some people get to set up house right from the start. Your way, you get that satisfaction long after others have nearly forgotten! I think your work is wonderful!
Regards,
Rachel Holt
Thank you Rachel, it is still a work in progress!
DeleteWhat a lot of hard work you have put in, Patsy but it is all worth it in the end, isn't it? I love to see the progress that couples make in their homes and I think it must make a home extra special when it is all finished.
ReplyDeleteNanna Chel, yes, there is something about a home that you have literally 'built' yourself that makes it a bit more special. The sacrifices you make to be able to pay for one needed item or supply at a time gives you a bank of memories that purchasing a ready to move into house doesn't. Not that we wouldn't have liked to been able to move into a 'finished' house, we would have, but we did not want the mortgage that would have gone along with it.
DeleteIt's amazing how old things can be made new again. My daughter and her husband have sold their very nice home and are starting to remodel an old gas station to live in. Reading your journey makes me feel better about the whole thing!!!
ReplyDeletewow looking amazing there, the next room wouldn't be the kitchen or bathroom would it? those two would be important rooms.
ReplyDeletewell done
thanx for sharing
