What Will Occur To My Weblog After I’m Completed With The Home?

I’ve talked about repeatedly these days (as a result of I’m simply so enthusiastic about it) that I’m lastly beginning on the final inside room of our home (my studio), and when this room is finished, I’ll have formally completed all the inside rooms of our house. And each time I point out that, I get a whole lot of questions from folks asking me what I’m going to do with my weblog after I’m completed with the studio. It appears as if a whole lot of very long time readers are considering that when the studio is completed, I’ll be closing down the weblog.

Nicely, that gained’t occur. Let me guarantee you that whereas I’m nearly formally completed with the inside of our home, there’ll nonetheless be a lot to do after that.

Let me provide you with a fast rundown of the place issues stand as of right now, and the place issues shall be heading.

The Studio and Studio Toilet

This room is a giant undertaking, and contains not solely the principle room, but additionally the studio toilet. I would love to get this accomplished by mid-August of this 12 months (our 10-year anniversary of buying this home), however I’m not inserting bets on me really assembly that purpose. That’s lower than 4 months away, and there’s a ton of labor to be accomplished in these rooms.

The Hallway Toilet

Simply because the within of the home shall be formally completed after I end the studio, that doesn’t imply that I gained’t return and make some adjustments to some rooms. I lately had an individual ask me in a remark, “Don’t you ever get uninterested in redoing tasks that you just’ve already accomplished?” My response was, “Maybe you missed the identify of my weblog.” 😀 No. I’ll by no means get uninterested in redoing, tweaking, attempting out completely different concepts.

So with that stated, I’ve beforehand talked about a number of adjustments I wish to make within the hallway toilet.

These embrace (1) new counter tops, (2) new accent tile, (3) new sconces, (4) new bathe curtain, (5) new plumbing fixtures, and (6) new vainness colour.

The Visitor Bed room

There are nonetheless a number of adjustments I wish to make to this bed room, most of which I’m fairly certain I’ve already talked about in earlier weblog posts.

The principle undertaking in right here would be the partitions. From that view above, I really like how the room seems to be. However I don’t ever see the room simply from that view. I see the room from this view…

And after residing with the room as it’s for over two years, and really utilizing it as our short-term bed room, the partitions simply really feel unfinished to me. So I’m going to proceed the hand-drawn flower design round on the higher a part of the opposite two partitions, after which add white wainscoting to the underside of all three partitions.

Along with the partitions, I additionally have to construct a body for the mattress. The unique fairly wooden body that I take advantage of in right here ended up not understanding after we switched our common mattress for an adjustable mattress on the suggestion of Matt’s bodily therapist. So for 2 years now, the mattress has additionally appeared unfinished, and just about seems to be prefer it’s floating. You’ll be able to form of see what I imply within the image under…

And at last, I’m simply unsure if I’m a yellow individual. I attempted it out in right here as a result of I simply occurred to have the yellow velvet readily available and determined to make use of that for the home windows. And whereas I believe the yellow seems to be good with the blue, I’m simply a lot extra of a pink/coral individual. In order that could be getting a change, however I haven’t determined for certain but.

The Kitchen

The kitchen was the primary room that I transformed after we purchased the home, so it’s been some time!

That doesn’t imply that I’m able to utterly rework it once more. However I’ve some issues I wish to do in right here. For instance, how lengthy now have I stated I wish to eliminate the dishwasher? A very long time! I nonetheless plan to do this, however that undertaking has but to maneuver as much as the highest of the precedence listing. It is going to ultimately, although.

I additionally wish to eliminate the concrete counter tops and substitute these with quartz. I don’t know when that may occur, however I’m so accomplished with concrete counter tops. They served their objective after we couldn’t afford a better high quality stable floor counter tops, however after nearly ten years of coping with stains on concrete, I’m accomplished. I lengthy for the day that I can eliminate them.

The Addition

I do know we’ve talked about this for therefore lengthy now that it looks as if it should by no means occur, however it should. Each time Matt and I begin to suppose it’s time, one thing occurs (just like the economic system crumbling, or banks collapsing) that makes us very uncertain about doing one thing so massive proper now. But it surely will occur. And as soon as it does occur, I’ll have a household room, bed room, and laundry room to complete.

The Home Exterior

I’ve centered fairly a bit these days on our entrance porch, and there are nonetheless tasks to be accomplished to complete that up. I would like to complete up the portray, reinstall the tape lights, and end the stone skirting.

However there are such a lot of extra exterior tasks to be accomplished! After I was cleansing out the sunroom just a few months in the past, I got here throughout some corbels that I purchased years in the past to make window flower bins for the home windows on the entrance of our home. That also must be accomplished!

I additionally nonetheless plan to construct a pergola above the breakfast room home windows (that are nearly utterly obscured by this plant that retains rising again).

After which I nonetheless have to construct steps and end up this space by the facet studio door. That is an outdated image, taken approach again after we had that concrete pad poured, however that’s nonetheless all that’s there. There are nonetheless stacked cider blocks serving as steps to this door, and I have to construct steps to match the model of the entrance steps.

After which there’s the carport. This factor remains to be not completed. It’s helpful simply as it’s, but it surely must be completed. That is an outdated image, so fortunately, the shutters are not there. 😀 They have been put in on the home way back. However the remainder nonetheless seems to be just about the identical. It must be painted, and it nonetheless wants a completed ceiling and lighting.

The Yard Tasks & Landscaping

Even as soon as all of that’s accomplished, I nonetheless have an acre of land that wants landscaping!! Don’t neglect this stunning landscaping plan that Matt purchased me for my birthday final 12 months.

I actually really feel like I might work on that for the remainder of my life and by no means get it completed, and by no means run out of issues to do. There’s no approach I might get uninterested in that landscaping purpose.

Then There’s The Small Tasks

As if all of these issues weren’t sufficient, I’ve been saving concepts for art work and small tasks that I wish to do and share and train folks tips on how to make for actually years. Whereas I misplaced a complete lot of them when my exterior laborious drive broke, I nonetheless have so many concepts saved elsewhere (Pinterest, Instagram, my laptop computer) that I’ve been amassing for years and simply ready for a time after I can spend extra time on these small, enjoyable tasks. I might in all probability spend a complete decade or two simply doing small enjoyable constructing tasks, artwork tasks, stitching tasks, and so forth., and nonetheless not get to the tip of my inventive concepts.

All of that to say that even when the inside of our home (because it stands right now) is formally completed, and the studio is finished, there is no such thing as a scarcity of inventive concepts that I’ve, and issues that I wish to do, construct, and create, that I can share with you. However sure, as soon as I’ve accomplished all of that, then it’ll be time to close down the weblog. 😉

Addicted 2 Adorning is the place I share my DIY and adorning journey as I rework and beautify the 1948 fixer higher that my husband, Matt, and I purchased in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do bodily work, so I do nearly all of the work on the home on my own. You’ll be able to study extra about me right here.
