remodel my house

Damn, I haven’t updated this as much as I should! Anyway, the kitchen is close to finished, even though I’m thinking of changing the flooring. We’re going to clean out the girls’ room and finish the floor in the hallway this week.

The living room is almost complete! We decided to go with wall paneling since the paint made the walls look like crap, and it looks great. We have about 1/3 of the wall to finish. We’re probably going to purchase some new carpet we save up some more money. I also want to build a bookshelf; I have a ton of books and nowhere to put them!

We started with the living room this week. We painted the walls, but decided to nail some wood paneling to the walls when the paint started to peel. It was pretty nasty! The paneling gives it a nice, homey feel. We’re going to build some shelves for my lighthouse collection later on.

We looked at a couple of websites on log siding and decided that we’re going to turn our house into a log cabin! We found a decent kit that we can build ourselves. I can’t wait to get to work on it!

My in-laws are selling their old house to us and my husband and I are talking about remodeling it because it has a lot of wear and tear. My husband has a lot of great ideas for the house, but I know it’s going to take a lot of time, money and materials to get it done. I’m so ready to get started. First, we have to turn the lights on and we’re going to start one room at a time. He wants to add another floor AND a couple more rooms! First things first! :) LOL
