Renovations finished

Hello everyone!  At long last the renovations are complete.  My supposed two week reno turned into eight, but I am told that is not unusual.  Now comes the fun of unpacking...a slow process...isn't that always the way?  Packing up seemed to go rather quickly and truth be known, I don't really want to put things back as they were.  A change of decor is in order to go with the new look of the house.  Even my sewing room is in disarray, but that's not unusual either is it! :-)  Now I can get back to working on projects I've set aside and planning new projects for the days ahead.

Here are a few photos of the house, now that it's shiny and new.

Enjoy!

It's good to have the sewing machine set up and most of my fabric stash put away...note the box and containers on the floor still waiting to be put away.  I think my fabric miraculously multiplied during the renovation because I'm sure I didn't have that much before!  Naturally, all the shopping I did had nothing to do with it. :-0
Note the brand spanking new carpet in a neutral colour...gone forever is the dark forest green carpet that once graced my floors!



The living room with another neutral on the walls and the hardwood flooring.  All this beige is driving me a little mad...I'm thinking of turquoise and perhaps eggplant purple and some sort of green as accent colours.



Those accent colours I mentioned are in a favourite oil painting of mine. 



A new light over the table. 



New tile to replace the worn linoleum.  Much easier to keep tidy.

 

New low-flow toilets for each of the washrooms.   

 

New sinks, faucets and countertops for the washrooms upstairs.

 

Ahhh, my favourite thing of all, a rain showerhead in the new custom shower.
