fixing up
In the past few weeks, we've done a number of things that have made me much happier with my house. Why didn't we do them sooner?
First, there was painting the kitchen and putting in the spice cabinet. The spice cabinet is the best invention ever. Organized, pretty.
Second, we just took the queen sized bed out of our TV room. So much more space. We're anticipating the probable stripping of carpet, which will require taking all the furniture out of the downstairs, and starting to clear space now. We could bring the futon down after the floors are done, and it'll still feel roomy and more comfortable.
And, I've cleared out the bar area in the basement, and set up my yarn dyeing operation. The bar is higher than the card table I'd been working on, so it's easier on my back as I work on my dyeing. Fabulous.
Next project, other than the floor, might be building a deck in the back, but not unless we keep living here for awhile longer.
Kitchen before
Kitchen after - white drawers and cabinets, new drawer pulls (have to put doors back on still)
