SOFAS & SUGAR PLUMS DANCING IN MY HEAD!  🙂

Getting excited, as I’m finally to that stage in my remodel where I’m looking about my ‘new’ spaces and dreaming of curling up on my new sofa or sectional with some nice hot cocoa while I watch and review movies for my blog!  Which one will have the look I want – modern/contemporary (a big change from my former cushy old-world sofa), plus have the comfort I crave.

AllModern has a huge selection that I could go crazy with!  (And they have some crazy SALES right now!)       Here are some choices that have caught my eye to make for a happy bum!   Picturing languishing.  Awwwwwww, YES……

I especially love Mid Century Modern.

SOFAS & SNAKES – OH MY!  This reminds me of the sofa I grew up with as a child.  it was mint green.  The one my pet snake disappeared into (perhaps he thought it was grass), until days later our babysitter was enjoying a nice sit watching the telly, when all of the sudden…. WHOOPS!  :0  Well, let’s just say we never saw Mrs. Hurlburt, again.  😉

ONCE OVER THE INITIAL SHOCK 

After the shock of losing my darling husband Randy, (although it had been a long two years coming with his brave cancer battle), I knew I needed to deal with my post-flood home which had happened only two weeks prior to his passing. Well, at this point, it’s taken me over four years to ‘deal’, as I work to put the huge amount that was destroyed repaired, and still going . . . DIY Remodel Style! And keepin’ it GREEN as I can.

FLOOR- DINING-HALL- BLOG - sized largerMY HAND PAINTED FLOORS: 

So long . . . . .   My home, like myself, wasn’t quite feeling herself and needed a major makeover! 
Much was ruined, but let’s start with my floors.    Shortly after I helped to build this house over thirty years ago, I decided I wanted to do something rather different for the main living area.

STENCIL CORNER-Recovered- BLOG
So I hand painted large particle board squares we had cut and put down to appear as black marble.  (Not a great material choice in hindsight!  Wish we’d used plywood, but were trying to save $.  It looked beautiful for many years, but water wasn’t its friend.)  Then I cut out my own stencils and using multiple layers, created some interesting effects on the Dining Room floor.  Then I created a Greek Key stencil to go around the perimeter of the Family Room. (More about how I did all that soon, on my DIY page!)

STENCIL LONG - BLOG USE
SO LONG . . . Time to say, “Good bye, old floor friend.”

I thought sure I’d shed a tear when the time came, but I didn’t. Time for my under-foot grieving to come to an end. I felt my Randy was looking down and giving me a pat of encouragement and a nudge, knowing my adventure was just beginning.

FLOOR BUCKLED- SIZED SMALLER
Besides, not much choice

Floor buckled. Yikes.  (In hindsight, the particle board not a brilliant idea!  Trying to save money.   But I’m pretty sure the extent of the flooding would have  damaged whatever available in the day beyond repair.)

RUINED FLOOR - 2 BLOG - USE
And generally just not fixable.

FLOOR RUINED FAM blog - USE - sized smaller
Nope. Nada.

FLOOR - KITCHEN - BLOG
Ta Ta Tile:  Kitchen tile floor had to go, too. So sad. But I wasn’t sure what dark/damp-created monsters might be lurking under there . . .
The whole kitchen, for that matter, had to go as well. (But that’s another story coming soon.)

gav prying up floor - BLOG
And Thus It Began . . .  Good times ahead on our DIY Remodel!

gav prying up floor key stone - BLOG
My son, Gavin, was handy with that pry bar and mallet. Who knew (remembered) we glued those suckers down like crazy around the edges. With most, we did tongue and groove on the large squares we had cut and fit together.

my floor on driveway - BLOG
Whelp . . . Thar she blows! NO turning back now.
Just trying to keep that smile going, find the humor as I go. And . . .

REMEMBER HOW BLESSED I AM to have a home at all to fix.

SO, what’s next? Plenty. (And I’m going in a VERY different design direction.) 😉
