There's no such thing as too much of a good thing! In my life good thing means rehab. Whether it's furniture that someone has left at the curb or homes or apartments that have been vacant or unloved for years, if it's a challenge, then I'm up for it! I'm a die-hard DIY'er...a compulsive refurbisher...yeah, I'm probably certifiable.
In addition to painting, we're replacing carpet, flooring, cabinets, lighting and bathroom fixtures. My son and I are working on this project in the very early morning and the evening after I finish work but before dinner. The good news is that the work at the farmhouse is in the hands of the pro's right now so I can focus on the apartment. We're hopeful to have the apartment complete within the 3-4 weeks if all goes well.
I'll share photos as we get this project progresses and we find solutions for storage and living in a very small space on a tight budget. I'm really excited because this apartment will be a completely different style than the farmhouse and I've always wanted to try my hand at a little "contemporary/industrial"!
There's plaster and paint on top of wallpaper, the flooring is peeling and the whole place is filthy. In other words, it's right up my alley! So, this is where I"m spending my free time...you know...in case you were wondering. Oh...and if you know anyone in my area who has unloved furniture that needs painting or a room that they need help rehabbing, please tell them not to tell me....
at least not for a few weeks...
....because you know I'd say yes.
