I've got some personal pictures to show & tell here - I haven't talked much about our "new" house yet....... but in the future you'll probably see more of it. At this point, we've mostly been doing things that aren't very fun or visable. (ie - new wiring, some new HVAC, a new attic floor). But I do have some before & after pics of my new basement. This basement was classic-old house creepy, with a low ceiling, & wires running every which way. We've cleaned up much of the old clutter & painted it white.
EEEEWwww! Scarrrryyy!
A little better.....
Creeptacular......... or yuckarific? .....
Not so creepy....
It's still not the taj mahal, but certainly much less creepy! We have yet to install some cabinets for storage (from one of my favorite places: the Ikea as-is section!), and some curtains I'm making from more Ikea fabric. Who knows..... this may be a mini Second Chance Art & Accessories workshop for a while - until I can build a bonafide workshop / garage in the backyard.
On the business side of my life - here's a few great finds I picked up this weekend - from freecycle. If you haven't heard of freecycle - check it out! http://www.freecycle.org/ This organization runs local groups that allow postings of free items offered to the group members. A great way to recycle things you no longer need, but think someone else can use... and you don't even have to take anything to goodwill.
I got really lucky with these dressers. I'm thinking at least one may end up as a one of a kind sink vanity for sale in my booth at some point......
Good bye for now - thanks for checking in! take care - Amy :)
