Well, I have a few minutes here , so I wanted to touch base with all my wonderful friends here. Miss playing in the sand box with you all. I have been busy running back and forth to the contractor choosing cupboards, floors, ceramics , counters etc. This was something I was looking forward to because I thought this would be loads of fun.....WRONG!!!! definitelty not fun, but stressful. I had to go back the second time because I was not quite sure if I liked what I picked for my kitchen cupboards, and counters. I hope that I made the right dicission because I will now have to live with that. I chose cherry wood cupboards and the counters are a multi color which both my hubby and I feel will be very nice. I hope so.
So enough about me, how is everyone doing? Hope that you are all well and have a smile on your faces. I am really going to try to pass by more often but with my daughter and her family here which is 8 of us, and Friday my granddaughter and her little one is moving back from Quebec so they will be staying with us aswell until she can find an apt, which I don't think will take to long.
So , my friends, take care, be well, be happy and please don't forget me as I have you all in my thoughts.
I will stop by as often as I can. Hugs to you all!!!

Miss you!!
Hi Glenda, I am so thrilled to hear from you aswell. We had just bought a new dining room set which is in cherry wood and the table top is a round glass. Also I have a server that goes with it, so I am sure that the cupboards and this set will look great.
What kind of renovations are you doing? It can get fustrating while building or renovating but it will all be worth while in the end.
Hugs to you and sending you some kisses too :)

You won't ever be forgotten....Hugs to you~~
Too cool on the round table. so nice tosee people better when talking and game playing too. The serving cart also sounds nice!
As for reno ...i think it might be easier to tell what we are not doing LOL.
i guess it is almost 5 years ago we got this 3 bedroom house on three lots with two small garages joined like a t. We got it for $8000.00 on rent to own. Back them nobody waqnted houses here. Now everyone does.
This was an old beaver lumber house. Three bedrooms up and a bathroom. Main floor is the kitchen, diningroom, back porch, front area we use as porch and livingroom. The washer and dryer are in the back porch along with pantry shelves too.
well we have our bedroom done, thmas has all but the laminate down and trim. then we have blinds for both bedrooms to put up. i will make drapes and buy rods ect.
The reason thomas' floors ect are not dome is we desided to do the hall and stairs first, then the bedroom floor. You know with all the new gyproc and dust to come.The nthe painting. then we will join his flooring into ours and the hall too. that is the plan. LOL
we have the small room upstairs to become the new bathroom. we already have a jetted tub for it.I am buying stuff slowly for it!
The old bathroom will become a walk in closet for the two rooms.
With every room we do it is a gut! new wiring, running cable and phone lines too. That way we will have internet up there if ever needed. All the new lights are up in the new rooms too. All new gyproc and no lathes and plaster.
the main floor in the front poarch area has been gutter and has new wiring, insulation and gyproc. new lights too.
we have re insulated all the rooms and ceilings upstairs as we went too. Newer windows from a friend that had to havew new for whatever reason when he bought.Tis is the same guy that gyproced the down stairs bathroo/laundryroom and then realized ther was no door LMBO!! too funny!
The kitchen will be last. Grant and my dream has alwaysbeen to have a log house so maybe someday. we want the fake ones for the outside. all the trim inside is pine i stained and varathaned. look so nice. We also hung to of the 4 upstairs doors. taller than the old ones...but pine, that I stained and varathaned again.
We bought some basement walls last mothers day. It was all treated wood. so this year we will build our dream deck!
pretty soon the renos will be all done & will be well worth it :O)
sounds like you are hosting quite the happiness hotel called home ;O) that is what my dadalways called it when everyone was home..lol
good to seeya. hope you can pop in again!
From the photos you showed us of your home, I can see that you have good taste. I'm
