Under construction

DIY

8 Apr

I’m taking a short blog hiatus.

Courtny and I purchased our home three years ago, with the intention of making major renovations and updates. Our first project was painting the exterior and landscaping, and still to this day we have random neighbors thank us for getting rid of the “Sprite house.”

I prefer the “John Deere house,” but I digress.

We have done all kinds of updates, from painting to garage doors, but this week Courtny and I are embarking on the most daunting project yet. We’re replacing the floors in the entire downstairs of our home and our upstairs hallway.

If that’s not enough, we’re replacing our kitchen.

Oh, and we’re doing the moving and demolition ourselves.

With Dorothy.

Yes, we have completely lost our minds. If I survive this, it will be a miracle.

Sayonara, ugly carpet and cheap linoleum.

I’ll be back for Monday’s #SipHappensParty link-up (can’t wait to share how fun that was!), but until then consider me out. I’ll be lost somewhere in a world of demolition and laminate…

… or hiding at my parents’ house while my husband does all the work. 🙂
