We’ve been working so hard on the front and back yards of our new (old) house since we bought it in 2013, that we just haven’t had the time or energy to tackle the inside. Well, the outside is looking pretty good (as you will see in my next post), and it’s time to gut the main bathroom and update the kitchen.
Are we doing the renos, ourselves, you ask? Not a chance! Peter just doesn’t have the time and neither of us has the energy. We have hired a kitchen and bath company to do it right and do it fast. We just don’t want our kitchen and bathroom to be out of commission any longer than necessary. That said, it doesn’t come cheap, but when I look at the 0.77 percent interest rate on my “investment savings account,” I figure I’ll get a much bigger return on my dollar by investing in our home. Not that we’re planning to sell anytime soon because Peter and I love our home and our community.
The renos are scheduled to start in a couple of weeks and I will be posting photos from start to finish. For now, here’s our first photo–it’s me and Peter at the stone quarry approving the two quartz slabs that will become our new kitchen counter tops.
All I can think of right now is, “I hate renovations, but I will love have having renovated.”
I hope you’ll drop in later this month to see our progress and check out the “before” and “after” photos.
Until next time, be kind, be happy and be thankful.
