~ Sorry for the Silence ~

But we bought a house! And the remodel crunch is on...... So... silence is golden! (If it is, maybe it will help fund the project?? I wish!!)

Here are some pictures!

Just imagine the possibilities.....

......I can, and I can't wait to get them implemented!!! (though some of them may be years before they can be afforded and done!! =)

But for now - just enjoy the 'potential'! =)

the kitchen (it's not in the budget right now, so everything is just going to get a coat of paint!)

LOVELY bathroom! it's t.o.t.a.l.l.y. gutted already and we've just owned it a week =) It's now bigger and the layout is going to change slightly...

love the blue tile board... not.

and how the shower is right up in the window.... =)
You will not even recognize it when we're done!Built in dresser/desk/dresser came right out....looking out from the same bedroom at the living room and the other room will be our mudroom/laundry/storage/maybe sewing & computer room too, if we can fit it all in! =) The washer and dryer needs to come out of the already small 'dining room'! (who would put it in there anyway?!?)

There are two more bedrooms that I didn't show pics of, because they are just, empty bedrooms with the same dark trim!

We will be moving closets around (making some bigger ones!) closing up a couple doors, ripping up carpet & putting down new, painting, sanding the living room floor since it is hardwood under there and all the other things that come with remodeling. Fun! =) Want to come help!?

See you around! =)

~ Where I Disappeared to... ~

Sorry, that I've been pretty scarce lately, dear readers..... but I've been fighting a sore throat, slight earaches and head congestion for over a week now and I had a cold the whole previous week.... Anyway, I finally got some meds and hopefully will be back to my normal self some time soon and can get some projects done to blog about! =) Til then, see you around!


P.S. I did get one done that has something to do with the pictures above.... need to take a picture of it and let you see...... Sometime... soon.... tease, tease..... =)

~ New family member! ~

On Monday night my husband had pity on this poor kitty that was hungry and sad, sitting under the steps at his business (it had been around for the whole weekend because his employee said it ran in the building when she was leaving on Friday!).... so he brought it home to me! (and he is not really an animal lover, so that's saying something! =)) She's a sweety! I think someone must have dumped her, because she is very friendly and she loves to run into the house (sorry, she is not going to be my house-kitty though!) My little guy loved following her around! =)

I have yet to think of a name.... any suggestions??

Edited to add: I think I decided on Candace the Calico Kitty!

Autumn....

Take a peek!
