a little remodeling

Hello, again!  How was your weekend?  Mine was very productive and has left me giddy with anticipation about our upcoming remodeling.  If our budget allows it, we'll be doing the guest bath, home office, laundry and backyard.  Not a short list, is it?  But desperately needed.  Our house is a little brick home built in 1900 and the last time it's decor was updated was probably the 1950s.  We've been chipping away at a long  list of to-dos since we first moved in a year and a half ago.  I'm excited to start this new phase of our fixer-upper project.  Here are a few things we decided on this weekend.

Continue our dark-stained bamboo floors into the home office.

Put a genuine claw foot tub in the guest bath and paint the exterior some fabulous (yet-to-be-determined) color.

Put a utility sink in the laundry room.  We'll probably go with something a little more classic than pictured here - but I do love the look of an apron front sink.

Plant a vegetable garden.  A modest one, because we've never done it before.  We're thinking some corn, tomatoes, cucumbers and potatoes to start.  Have you done any of these projects yourself?  Any recommendations?

That is so exciting! Beautiful pictures and I don't doubt that your house and garden will look any less perfect! It is already looking so great. Make sure you call us...we need some projects!

I've heard you need to plant a lot of corn to get good ones. Something about the outside rows not producing as much... not exactly sure. But we'll learn this summer!

I have been cracking away at a lengthy record of to dos since we first shifted in a season. I am energized to begin this new stage of our fixer-upper venture.
