Well hello everyone. I know it's been a few months. I've been moving. My boyfriend and I moved in to a friend's house to help her financially. It was also a great opportunity for us to move out of where we were and save some money ourselves. It's a temporary move, about 2 years or so. Economically it will help both parties and we will all be able to pay off some debts and save.
My friends house has a lot of work to be done. She had been taking care of her mother who suffered from Alzheimer's/Dementia until March of last year. She also cares for her handicap brother, although he is high functioning he still needs her. That is the sad part of all this, her losing her mother. As time has passed the house has been neglected. One thing or another hasn't been done. Not that it's in shambles and about to fall down, but little things like paint, organization, the yard and other small things. What does this mean for myself and all of you? Projects! That's the exciting part.
It took us all month long to move in and get settled because the house is so cluttered with STUFF! I'm just starting on the decorating of the bedroom. It's huge. I feel like I have a studio apt upstairs. Here is a little about the house. It was a 3 bedroom, 2&1/2 bath, living room, family room and kitchen originally. There is a sitting room next to the master suite (our room) with a big balcony that extends the length of both rooms. Downstairs, under the balcony they had an enclosed patio that was later made into a big bedroom (my friends room). The sitting room was made into a bedroom also, although this is a mystery to me as to why, since it wasn't necessary. The downstairs 1/2 bath was also turned into a full bath. The front and back yards both need help and garage needs to be uncluttered.
So back to the projects, there are many to come. We will start with the master bedroom. I've got some fun design ideas and some simple "Genius" projects to give a room some WOW! Projects, pictures and articles coming soon!
