And as for us...

Well we've been quite busy as of late with the whole house move and what not. But we are finally in.. officially for the last 7 days we've been at our new place. It's so great to be there and get settled in. I thought it was time to show it off a bit so that you can all see what it looks like.. BEFORE all the renos!

*sigh.. I think I am actually starting to like renovating! So - here's the little slideshow of the house now..




We plan to:
Paint or replace the siding to a more modern color
A whole window package on the house
A lot of landscaping
Add a clothesline
Replace the railing on the existing deck
Possibly put in a lower deck
Re-do all the bathrooms
Re-paint the ENTIRE house on the inside
Take down a few walls to open up the space
Fix the patio block area
Add more raised beds to the garden
Put in a few sun tunnels to lighten up the bathroom and staircase
Replace all hardware in the kitchen, new countertops and backsplash tiling
New flooring in the basement

*PHEW.. I am tired already.. that's the list now.. guess we'll see if we have the energy to get it all done!

You are the queen of renos! I can't wait to see your artistry with all the changes. :-)
