We need to get our renovation projects finished!

August 9, 2007 by Tricia

I keep longing for our home renovation to be finished. Yes we’re still working on our living room. Chris is hoping that we might be able to talk his brother into helping up put the tin ceiling up while he’s visiting. That’s be cool if we could get him to help but when the two of them are together it’s usually just one big party so who knows if it will happen or not.

Once we’re done the living room we have the basement, the upstairs bathroom and the kitchen to refinish. I hope that we can get them all done over the next two years or so. The house will look magnificent once it’s all done.

I have it almost all planned in my head. Each room will have style but will be extremely functional.

I think the kitchen reno is what I’m most looking forward to though. I don’t like our current cupboards or counter top and I want to move where both the fridge and stove are located. My idea kitchen would have granite countertops, hardwood cupboards, a hardwood floor and one of those nice storage cabinets on wheels that I could move to the center of the kitchen when I’m busy preparing a meal and cooking to make it just a little easier.

Our bathroom might be a big reno job. We have the worlds smallest bathroom right now. What I’d like to do is move the bathroom into the tiny spare bedroom that’s currently beside the upstairs bathroom. If we moved the location of the bathroom we’d have a decent sized washroom that we could have a bath and shower in and make very luxurious if we wanted.

What room of your house would you like to renovate and what would it look like when you’re done?

    I really really really need to finish our upstairs closets- I have four walk in closets that were never finished and I would like to stow eBay inventory in one and actually have some pretty- organized closets like you see in magazines. One is kind of close to done and I did it myself in cedar. BTW- I was told only do one in cedar or my whole upstairs would smell like a clean hamster cage… whatever that means. I was just on your other blog tonight and never realized you do 14 sites (I believe)- WOW that’s pretty amazing. -Michelle
