Our lack of posting is not the result of disinterest, but the result of the fact that we have just been plugging away slowly at several daunting projects. The master bedroom continues to be our largest project, but we are almost to the next phase. Jacob has stripped 95% of the walls, and I hope that by next Monday we will have our first layer of primer done. We finally found a second bureau for $20 at a yard sale which we painted to match our newly repainted antique bureau. I have my fingers crossed that we will have the bedroom mostly done by our housewarming party on October 5. I am mostly just really looking forward to not sleeping in our spare room any longer.
The other project that has been taking up our time has been the dining room. Mostly just unpacking, creating piles for Goodwill, and figuring out just where we will stick everything when it is finally time to sand and refinish the floor. Unpacking is always a much bigger process than I ever remember, and even though our house is only 30 sq. ft. smaller than our apartment was, things don't fit in quite the same way (especially with 1 main room out of commission).
It is really hard not to get started on all of our dream-plans at once. I really want to get in touch with a contractor to begin getting quotes for the renovations we have in mind for down the road, but it is important for us to not get too ahead of ourselves. Not only will we need to prioritize, but many of the things we want to do would all have to be done at once. It's hard not to dream big in our cute little house, and maybe someday we will have something to show for all that dreaming.
