Back to building -

 So….back on track and lots of work has been done the last two days on my studio apartment. 350 sq. feet and I’ll take you all along. My aim is to Survive Small and Live Large. My blog will come alive again soon as well.

First picture is the bathroom. Just wait till ya see my shower and my medicine cabinet that is build in the wall.
Other picture is the closet with drawers. Not to worry about the lost hanging space. Currently I’ve been using pop can tabs on hangers so I can hang down. This hanging space will be 15” longer than what I’m now using. WOW. But of course I’ll continue what I’m doing and be in no hurry to fill it up!

.... my desk in my little studio apartment.  I know you haven't heard from me in quite awhile. I know you all probably know construction goes that way BUT today some of the things happened that I was waiting on before sharing with you all and before moving in. Today I've started moving things in but I don't want to stumble around boxes. Instead I want to maintain order as I put things away and also I need to know what I can find homes for and what I need to let go of. While waiting the last couple weeks I've been going through storage looking for those things I've cherished over the years and that I must find a place for. Hmmm maybe I need to come up with a little name for my home. Got any ideas?  Anyway, so excited to show you my writing space. The desk was made special to fit and I requested the cork board to tack up reminders of God's goodness and maybe it will be kind of a vision board as well.  I found the throw that the Balko community (where I grew up) pu...

 I know it's been awhile since I updated on the progress of my little living space. While things are happening I struggle cause I have so many things I wanna save and present them as a final "wow, isn't this kind of a neat thing". I've had a lot of help with really good ideas from the guys who are doing the work. I say things like, "Well, I'd really like to do this, but ....." and the next thing I hear is, "We can make that happen." Thus I'm gonna have barn doors for closet doors. I've never considered myself a decorator and I haven't had much practice either, therefore this project has been challenging and overwhelming at times but hmmm, yes I could also say exciting as well. I want so much to have a farm house feel. I miss my home that was sitting on 17 acres.  I'm just trying hard to transform 350 square feet into a peaceful place with a country feel. Probably only a week, week and 1/2 before all is complete and I'm m...

Things are progressing well. Got the flooring down, cabinets in and my peg board framed and nailed to the wall. Who would have ever thought that when I decided to follow through on using the idea I'd seen a few times using peg board that I'd see it used like crazy during a recent trip to the Ikea store. Of course their peg board was modern and the the holes weren't just little circles. Theirs was more of a plastic as well, of course, but I like my pegboard. Peg board like my daddy would have used in his garage. Anyway, as I told my contractor I don't get numbers real well. He told me what dimensions he had in mind for the cabinet under the TV. I agreed, but I couldn't "see" it. I did wonder later if it would take up too much of the very little floor space I would have left after bringing in a small couch, or loveseat, or whatever I come up with, but I dismissed my wondering. My contractor knows my request for storage and yet a pleasant living space. When I...
