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 completed, I’ll have formally completed the entire inside rooms of our dwelling. And each time I point out that, I get a variety of questions from individuals asking me what I’m going to do with my weblog after I’m completed with the studio. It appears as if a variety of very long time readers are pondering 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 loads to do after that.

Let me offer you a fast rundown of the place issues stand as of at this time, and the place issues will likely be heading.

The Studio and Studio Rest room

This room is an enormous venture, and contains not solely the primary room, but in addition the studio rest room. I would love to get this achieved by mid-August of this yr (our 10-year anniversary of buying this home), however I’m not inserting bets on me truly assembly that purpose. That’s lower than 4 months away, and there’s a ton of labor to be achieved in these rooms.

The Hallway Rest room

Simply because the within of the home will likely 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 just lately had an individual ask me in a remark, “Don’t you ever get uninterested in redoing tasks that you just’ve already achieved?” My response was, “Maybe you missed the title of my weblog.” 😀 No. I’ll by no means get uninterested in redoing, tweaking, attempting out totally different concepts.

So with that mentioned, I’ve beforehand talked about a number of modifications I need to make within the hallway rest room.

These embody (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 need to make to this bed room, most of which I’m fairly positive I’ve already talked about in earlier weblog posts.

The principle venture in right here would be the partitions. From that view above, I like how the room seems. 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 momentary 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 exploit 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 regarded unfinished, and just about seems prefer it’s floating. You may type of see what I imply within the image beneath…

And eventually, 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 feel the yellow seems 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 positive 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 fully rework it once more. However I’ve some issues I need to do in right here. For instance, how lengthy now have I mentioned I need to eliminate the dishwasher? A very long time! I nonetheless plan to try this, however that venture has but to maneuver as much as the highest of the precedence record. It is going to ultimately, although.

I additionally need to eliminate the concrete counter tops and exchange these with quartz. I don’t know when that may occur, however I’m so achieved with concrete counter tops. They served their function after we couldn’t afford a better high quality strong floor counter tops, however after nearly ten years of coping with stains on concrete, I’m achieved. 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 like 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 financial system crumbling, or banks collapsing) that makes us very not sure 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 achieved 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 achieved! After I was cleansing out the sunroom a number 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 achieved!

I additionally nonetheless plan to construct a pergola above the breakfast room home windows (that are nearly fully 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 method 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 type of the entrance steps.

After which there’s the carport. This factor remains to be not completed. It’s helpful simply as it’s, however it 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 remaining nonetheless seems just about the identical. It must be painted, and it nonetheless wants a completed ceiling and lighting.

The Yard Initiatives & Landscaping

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

I truthfully 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 method I might get uninterested in that landscaping purpose.

Then There’s The Small Initiatives

As if all of these issues weren’t sufficient, I’ve been saving concepts for art work and small tasks that I need to do and share and educate 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 in different places (Pinterest, Instagram, my laptop computer) that I’ve been gathering 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 at this time) is formally completed, and the studio is completed, there isn’t a scarcity of inventive concepts that I’ve, and issues that I need to do, construct, and create, that I can share with you. However sure, as soon as I’ve achieved 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 enhance 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 may be taught extra about me right here.
