Remember me showing you the large pile of groove board we had stored in our dogtrot?
You know, the pile of lumber that covered up four boxes of books that delayed me from completing my bookshelf project?
Well, we’ve started the ceiling project in our guest bedroom, and that pile of lumber will soon go away.
That’s the good news. The really good news.
The bad news is that everything, and I do mean everything, had to come out of that bedroom.
And guess where it is now?
Our dogtrot.
Sigh.
It feels like All. We. Do. is constantly move furniture and boxes from place to place.
Sometimes more than once.
But, I’ve learned. Again.
Home renovation is so messy!!!
I have to remember that it will all be worth it in the end. Otherwise, I would be in a constant state of crazy.
Looks like a garage sale to me! I’ll take the suitcase and the aqua chest, please. LOL!
Well, you KNOW you have some things and ONE thing in particular that we want. 🙂
Well, my dear!
I truly feel your pain and craziness! I am so tired of moving furniture around a room and in and out of a room, there are times I’d just like to burn it all! (NOT REALLY)…but like you said, it’s all worth it in the long run….It just we’ve been at this for a VERY LONG RUN!…and it appears to be NEVER ENDING!
We took the grandson home over the weekend and then ever since then, I have been busy trying to clean up that east deck ( the old one)…pressure washing everything that doesn’t move and getting spider webs down… washing the screens and fixing a few places. Re-doing the tiered fountain and washing all the greenery and furniture. Resealing the lower deck and rearranging the stack of cedar lumber out there. Repainting the antique drugstore chairs and table, washing windows and siding….what’s wrong with me? This is August in Texas! Anyway, still not finished, but can see the light at the end of the tunnel for this project, then onto the next one.
Next I have all the trim to repaint in our bedroom.( it never got done before we moved into it) Also have the do the door facings in our bathroom and in the living room and den and sewing room. I have touch-up to do on the wood ceilings in the living room and dinning room. I also want to repaint the window trims on the outside now that I repainted all the shutters to white….and then of course there’s repainting the old exterior doors as well…..where does it all end????? A house is a bottomless pit, into which we constantly throw money! REALLY?
Wow! You’ve been a busy gal. As if I weren’t worn out enough, you have made me even more tired. LOL! Take a break and go sew one of your wonderful creations. That’s my advice anyway.
Thanks Girl,
I was trying to take advantage of the cooler August temps in East Texas. Still have a few things left to finish up before I can get back to the quilting creations. Planning to go to Quilt Retreat the 19th of Sept. and be there til the 22nd. So don’t want to come home to a lot of unfinished stuff. I already have a project or two to take with me to work on…..Looking forward to the get away as I did in April.
Still hoping we can get together really soon and just visit for a while. Will stay in touch!
Love and Hugs
It’s so nice to know that we are not the only ones with piles of stuff in places it doesn’t belong. I enjoy seeing the process as others go through it – it gives me hope for my own mess https://ginakeesling.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/the-aftermath-an-adventure-in-remodeling/
Keep up the good work!
Gina, yes there’s always an end to the mess if you just keep at it. I just took a peek at your blog and just emailed you. You home reminds me so much of a post I did several months ago: https://www.livingvintageco.com/2014/07/some-things-are-worth-saving/.
