Remodeling my house
What a change I've made in my life. Besides grief counseling, I'm remodeling my house!! I am also trying to get out of Sears on disability. My legs can not take those concrete floors anymore!! I'm being very frugal as I'm only working a little bit right now.
Now on to the remodel. First things first, a new fence for Monkey & Mater. I don't know who likes it better, me or the dawgs
Then I got a new roof and as we speak they are hammering on the new siding and the new doors & windows. Some of you have seen pics of my house before I started, it was a red a frame. It is now a jade green. I thought it was going to be much darker as it said evergreen but I like this much better. I'm getting new windows and storm doors. I've been taking pics so will share with you when it's done.
The inside is going to be a cross between the southwest and a lodge. I always wanted this certain lamp and I broke down and am getting it!! It's a floor lamp made out of antlers!! I also am getting 2 antler chandeliers. One large one to go over my new dining room table and a small one to replace the one in the kitchen. I'm getting the matching sideboard and a beautiful mirror. I was lucky. They were closing down the retail part of the business but keeping the mfg part so got everything at half price. Actually, unbelievable prices. I saw a lamp at the craft show that was very similar but was $1200
. I got mine for $295!! I got 2 leather accessory chairs (leather rocker recliners) They are smaller than regular recliners because my house is so small. I was up to 4am last night because I couldn't sleep as I kept thinking my new dining room table is too big for my small dining room.
I was going to go with a dark brick red accented with a dark gold, tourquoise for my walls and ceilings but now may go more muted , terra cotta, a sand color and a pale sky blue. Yes, I love Sedona!! What do you all think? shaggy

I loved Lawren's pictures and still remember her beautiful big tree. Our yards are too small.
Pictures are great, it's so nice to compare the before & after. Best of luck on everything. Keep us posted.
