We have lived in our home for almost 6 years now. When we bought it, we loved it and I honestly couldn't have told you anything I wanted changed. However , now that we had been here a while, we began making a list of changes and updates we wanted. Some cosmetic, so functionality , and some just making things more 'us'! I'm not sure why it just hit us all at once but we have really put an effort into making this house of ours, ours! The majors things were the floors and the back patio. And since then, with everything looking so nice, we wanted to update other things! New paint and touching up other paint, crown moulding, some stencilling, some new furniture (mostly made by clynt), some shelves for my ubseen number of pictures, a new faucet in the kitchen, new hardware in the kitchen, and several other things. We love love it. But everything we do brings more things we want to know. For instance clynt built a new bench for our dining room and now I want new furniture in there and I wanted some shelves for pictures. It's a snowball... One prime example of snowball was having the floors done and baseboards looking bad, so having the baseboards painted and the walls look bad, so having the walls painted and it looks bland, so putting in crown moulding, and deciding we need more accents, so stencilling around the fire place and figuring the whole living room looks great, so we should refinish the tables to go with it! Sigh.. It's has happened In all the rooms.
It's been fun seeing the changes, but that means lots of unfinished products while its all being done. It is amazing to have one of the most handy husbands ever, or all of this may not be possible. I'm not sure anyone else I would hire would understand my visions the way clynt does. I tell him an idea and he makes it happen and it's always amazing. No half butt jobs around here. Here are a few pictures of updates :). The fireplace one is dark so u can't see the stencilling, but you can see the crown moulding :)
