We got back from our Thanksgiving trip last night. We left last Wednesday for our destination, and our daughter and son were there with us and enjoyed a nice mini-vacation from work. We had a wonderful and relaxing time before the busyness begins on our bathroom remodel and Christmas preparations. Bathroom remodel this time of year...what was I thinking???
Some folks have their Christmas trees up already, but I have a living room full of boxes of tile, a new stool, counter top, fixtures and various other stuff awaiting the carpenter to begin. We have a few things of our own to get done this week before he starts, too. Yikes! I think I'll go back!!
I've spent today unpacking and washing our trip clothes and just hanging out with Stormy. She missed us and was wanting to be close and cuddly today...not her usual style...she hadn't been without at least one of us for five nights before. We missed her, too! We had a friend come in and check on her mornings and evenings so we knew she was okay.
If I'm a little scarce here this week, it's because of the work that needs to get done. Things like stripping off wallpaper, taking off the old tile, painting the wall above where the bead board will go and painting the bead board itself. Wish me luck!
Until next time...
Exciting! You go girl strip that wall. Pull that toliet. And...let's know the outcome.
ReplyDeleteYou go right ahead and go missing again because then I can be assured that you'll have your new bathroom for Christmas, which answers the questions why we do these things at holiday time. It's going to be great. Who needs a tree? Put one up to celebrate once the carpenter is done. Were you in Branson again? It looks as if it could be...
ReplyDeleteSending you all the luck I can possible muster for a quick and efficient and smooth remodel! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl, Welcome back. We too took a Thanksgiving trip to VA.

Betsy

ReplyDeleteWELCOME HOME. Good luck with the remodel. It is an ambitious task at this time of year.Take care.
ReplyDeleteCheryl,
ReplyDeletethat is one cool car. Can't wait to hear all about your trip.
I can relate to the renovation madness.... and you will be busy, but it will all be worth it.
Have a great week, and happy renovation work .
This is a cool picture! Even my husband hasn't heard of a Durant! Wow, I cannot imagine renovating at Christmas time!!! You have your work cut out for you, and are a brave person!
ReplyDeletewelcome home, cool car and better you then me!!
ReplyDeleteThe best time to remodel is when you are ready and want to!
ReplyDeleteGood luck; I will be looking forward to seeing some pictures in progress and the finished project. I love the beadboard idea.
I'm glad you are back - I've really missed you. We got back Sunday. Then it takes a day to get unpacked and cleaned up.
ReplyDeleteI know the bathroom will be work, but it will be worth it.
Can't wait to see pics.

Sounds like you got your Christmas presents already (remodeling), who needs a tree. Love that old car.
ReplyDeleteYour remodeling timing may be suspect but won't it be nice when done. Take lots of pictures. You cn hang them on next years tree. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteI am singing Santa Baby please bring me that Durant from under that tree.
ReplyDeleteThat's a job I don't envy, been there, done that!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Cheryl.. I have confidence your remodel will be fantastic.

Glad you are back Cheryl! I don't have a toidie, tile, counter top or boxes in my living room and I haven't gotten my decorating for Christmas started. You have a good excuse. Anxious to see pictures and hear about your trip!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be there and help you! Good luck with this project. I love the car...love all old cars! ;D
ReplyDeleteA mess for now, but will be so worth it. Can't wait to see your new bathroom. Take plenty of pics. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your bathroom to be complete to see the end results! And I'm sure you'll be happy to have your living room free of tile! Looking forward to hearing of your trip. Love the new header! Very nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a nice getaway with your family for Thanksgiving. I look forward to hearing where you went to see that beautiful car.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your bathroom project. Just remember how nice it will be when it's done :).
Welcome home and we want pictures when you're project is all done.
ReplyDeleteCheryl
ReplyDeleteGood thing you had that trip! I got a feeling you got your work cutout for you! But it will all be worth it when your bathroom completed.
I look forward to seeing the end results!
Wow, you're ambitious! I'd love to remodel our bathrooms. I hope it all goes well and you get it done in record time :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marcia
Welcome home! Can't wait to hear about your trip and see how the remodeling goes!! You are very brave to tackle a bathroom project right before Christmas. A few years ago I stripped wallpaper from my kitchen during Christmas season. (I think I have pictures in a past post that shows it...) It was totally insane to try to do that in December!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your project! I can't wait to see pictures!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! So many projects on the go. I hope it all runs smoothly.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to have you back - I've been pretty scare myself, so I know how you feel. Sometimes it would just be easier to go back!
That old car was amazing, so pretty all decked-out in Christmas lights!
Sounds like you had a wonderful time while you were away . . . but now the work starts! We were considering putting in new wood floors before Christmas, but I decided I just didn't want the mess for the holidays! Although, I would LOVE it if my bathroom was finished, sooooo lucky you! Good luck with all your work, it will be so wonderful when it's done!
Hugs,
Barb
I hope your remodel goes off with out a hitch so you can get those boxes out of your roon, You will be so happy when it's finished and you can get things back to normal.
