A Home of One's Own

Planning and preparing to make a new(ish) home look old, lived in, and like my own.

Before and After -- this sofa cost $75 at a thrift store. 

The fabric was about $500, though, and the re-upholstery was about $800, so it wasn't exactly cheap. But look at that beauty, amirite?

It just makes the basement look that much stupider.  Next project: redo basement to make it worthy of the sofa!!!!!

The nook, in progress.  Notice the desk and the rug.  And the cool guitar.  Pay no attention to the box and the ugly ikea wire shelf thing.

Here is the new garden.  Pics were taken yesterday around 8 pm as I finished up planting, so they are dark!  Hopefully some more light ones will be forthcoming.

Installing the lights tonite and setting the table for dinner.  BBQ!!!
