A quick "before" tour
June 12th, 2009
I really should be editing furiously, then packing for my trip to Wisconsin, but I’ve gotten so many requests for photos of our new house (okay, Mom, you can stop, now!) that I’ve put together a little tour. We are wasting no time with the renovations, so these photos are from a couple weeks ago. I’ll show you some progress photos soon.
Congratulations on the home! Can’t wait to see what you do for the “after” photos!
If you redo the kitchen cabinets, I’d suggest saving the doors and all of the hardware. They don’t take up a lot of space and often come in handy for other projects. If you can remove the cabinets without destroying them the can come in handy mounted in a laundry room, garage etc.
Annie, I love the house. It is wonderful. Nice kitchen and bath and the kids look so comfy and at home in their new place. Enjoy the days ahead!
Actually, the kitchen cabinets are in perfect shape and perfectly suited to the house, so I’m keeping them. They could stand a good scrub, and I may get some new knobs (still debating–I don’t love the existing knobs, but haven’t found anything to replace them with), but they’re very sturdy, deep birch cabinets.
Did you make the quilt on the large bed? The big block one? That’s very cool. I love simple older type patterns that are basic ally just blocks like this.
I didn’t make this quilt. My mom found it in a thrift store and rescued it. It is all wool.
