Talking with your husband can be a dangerous thing...while working on a project!
Let me explain......while Ron was tearing out the flat kitchen ceiling and then working on the new cathedral ceiling, we chatted about our kitchen plans. It seems both of us wanted the same thing but neither one of us was willing to admit it. We wanted to gut the kitchen and start over! Just talking about it seemed totally overwhelming!
But.....we have decided to do just that.....gut it! The last several days have been spent drawing up the new plans and sitting down with a professional and discussing what we are going to do. I was so proud of my hubby as he plopped down the drawings and layouts for the new kitchen. The kitchen expert was so impressed. Ron has building experience as he has built three rooms and two porches on our existing home along with two docks.
So, folks, we are starting over! Now, the mess will start to flow into other parts of the house as we have to empty the kitchen contents totally. This will be a test for me but the dream of having a new kitchen makes me giddy with delight. Everything will go....I still can't believe this. It takes guts to do this and I am proud of my hubby and myself, to be honest. Our dear old cottage is beloved by both of us and we could never afford to live on water again at today's prices. Ron grew up on a lake and it is so precious to both of us.
I think I will be okay. I will try and post some pictures although the mess is staggering at the moment. I will be cleaning up the dust for weeks. Yikes!!
I'm not around much these days but thinking of all of you. I know you are excited for me and that makes me smile!!
Have a blessed week. ♥

How wonderful. I so want to do things over and with Butch being a home builder and in the trades..he's "spent" on doing any EXTRA work..he said how would you like to do your job ALL the time..he has a point and at our age..I can't say I blame him..wish he did something else for a living..then this would be fun for him..
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky lady to have a makeover in the home..it's a lot of work and dedication..stay focused..results will be so worth it..
Barb, Keep thinking about the pics I sent to you of our "gutted bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom...You KNOW I have been where you are at now. Somehow, (It wasn't easy) we got through the plaster dirt, the saw dust, etc. And now I am so happy we decided to make the changes. Keep smiling...I think the anticipation and DREAMING about the projects were really what kept me going...May your dream of your new kitchen and all you imagine it to be...come true! Blessings, Jill
ReplyDeleteYes Barb, renovating is so worth the hassle when a home holds such a special place in your heart. I can't wait to see the finished masterpiece.
