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

I’ve talked about repeatedly recently (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 residence. And each time I point out that, I get loads of questions from individuals asking me what I’m going to do with my weblog once I’m completed with the studio. It appears as if loads of very long time readers are considering that after 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 loads to do after that.

Let me provide you with a fast rundown of the place issues stand as of as we speak, and the place issues will probably be heading.

The Studio and Studio Rest room

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

The Hallway Rest room

Simply because the within of the home will probably be formally completed after I end the studio, that doesn’t imply that I gained’t return and make some modifications to some rooms. I not too long ago had an individual ask me in a remark, “Don’t you ever get bored with redoing initiatives that you simply’ve already finished?” My response was, “Maybe you missed the identify of my weblog.” 😀 No. I’ll by no means get bored with redoing, tweaking, making an attempt out totally different concepts.

So with that mentioned, I’ve beforehand talked about a number of modifications 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 self-importance shade.

The Visitor Bed room

There are nonetheless a number of modifications 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 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 dwelling with the room as it’s for over two years, and really utilizing it as our non permanent 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 figuring out 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 may form of see what I imply within the image beneath…

And eventually, I’m simply undecided if I’m a yellow particular person. 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 particular person. In order that may be getting a change, however I haven’t determined for certain but.

The Kitchen

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

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

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

The Addition

I do know we’ve talked about this for thus lengthy now that it looks as if it is going to by no means occur, however it is going to. Each time Matt and I begin to assume it’s time, one thing occurs (just like the financial system crumbling, or banks collapsing) that makes us very uncertain about doing one thing so large proper now. Nevertheless it 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 targeted fairly a bit recently on our entrance porch, and there are nonetheless initiatives to be finished 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 initiatives to be finished! After I was cleansing out the sunroom a couple of 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 finished!

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 aspect studio door. That is an previous image, taken means 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 fashion of the entrance steps.

After which there’s the carport. This factor remains to be not completed. It’s helpful simply as it’s, nevertheless it must be completed. That is an previous image, so fortunately, the shutters are now not there. 😀 They had 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 finished, 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 means I might get uninterested in that landscaping aim.

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 initiatives that I wish to do and share and train individuals the best way to make for actually years. Whereas I misplaced an entire 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 once I can spend extra time on these small, enjoyable initiatives. I might in all probability spend a whole decade or two simply doing small enjoyable constructing initiatives, artwork initiatives, stitching initiatives, and so on., and nonetheless not get to the top of my artistic concepts.

All of that to say that even when the inside of our home (because it stands as we speak) is formally completed, and the studio is finished, there isn’t a scarcity of artistic 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 finished 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 transform and embellish 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 the vast majority of the work on the home on my own. You may be taught extra about me right here.
