After a weeks worth of work...

-

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 saw these cabinets....WOW! I certainly hadn't visualized this after he gave me the dimensions. How truly pleased I was! The corner cabinet will have some shelves above it and this lower cabinet will have a door.  Lots more surprises are coming ohh AND I have a door!

.... 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...
