Renovating a place together is exciting and creative and it's really rewarding to see weekends of work turning into something. On the other hand, when you have so many spaces to reno at one time, it can also feel like you aren't accomplishing anything completely. HGTV has ruined my renovation-timeline expectations... but hopefully these pictures will remind us of our progress instead of how much we still have left to do before August!
A few weekends back, we each tackled a personal project. I wanted to begin eliminating beige from our lives and J wanted to tackle the back garden to prep it for planting before we run out of Spring.
Here is a view into our current dining room. You can see the pretty grey edging taking place over the browny-yellow. I will show a true before and after once it's complete but that's a few weeks down the line, at least.
[I always forget how many steps there are to painting... until I begin a new project.]
J built some amazing garden boxes. He watched a video online and made two from scratch - they're impressive! It will be great to be able to have our own herbs and produce right off the back porch this summer. We're considering adding another two later, depending on how these first ones get on. Hopefully, we will be able to pick up some plants later this week. What to choose, what to choose....
