I love to take simple little places and make them "grand" {grand to me anyway} In the last few years I have had fun fixing up, re-purposing, painting, and just plain making it over.
This older home {Bungalow} had all the right bones, and perfect light. We were just renting it, but I tried to put something of us in it.
A lot happened in the short time we were there- Click here and here.
Now we are fixing up the Hamlet- We started with it looking like this-
Now it looks like this-
and from this...
to this...
To follow some of the transformations click here or go to "hamlet" in categories at left.
Everything was done on a "shoe string", making over or re-doing. To me that's where the fun is. There is still a lot more to do....and I'm getting a little closer, piece by piece. It is ever changing.
I grew up moving from one home to another, perhaps that's where some of my first lessons were taught/learned. That everything doesn't have to match or come from a "top of the line" store to make a house a home.
I hope you have enjoyed coming on this journey with me...I know it's been fun for me.
I have tons more to share....in fact I'm just getting started. =) This week I'm making pillows for the white sofa, with the burlap sack I got a couple weeks ago. fun!
Oh, and I just have to share a few pictures from the CV garden- we are heading into winter; here's a little look at my winter garden.
The last flower on the vine-
