Back To The Reno's

As you already know from previous posts, the seawall really took a toll on our budget for our fixer upper. We've finally saved up enough to buy lumber for the master bedroom closet.

And so now, after a hundred dollars in 2x4's Mi Miguel is now starting the closet. My job is to keep Banjo away from the work site.

In one evening the walls are framed out and ready to be secured to the floor.

Lining it up and making sure it's level, Mi Miguel has it all squared up.

Just a few more wood screws, then cut away the carpet and he's ready to secure it into the concrete.

It's hard to believe that all of this mess will soon look a lot like a very organized and functional closet.

If we keep it fairly simple the closet will look similar to this one but not as elegant. Maybe not so many mirrors either. We have a window in the closet just like in the photo, all the mirrors casts too much light, maybe?

If all goes well and I find my motivation, I'd love to paint the organizing units cream with an aqua ceiling and do something like this. Staggering three retro amber hanging lights would be gorgeous in this closet. 

While the closet is under construction, we'll be researching for the best place to get guttering and downspouts replaced. It's making it more challenging to do our fixer upper task list with very limited funds. But true to who we've always been, Mi Miguel and I will find a way. We've always worked hard and figured it out. No matter what comes our way, we figure out a way to get through it.

The boat and Banjo have set us back a bit financially as well. But, we can't imagine life now without our boat and especially without Banjo. She has definitely found a place in our family. I feed her, train her and bathe her. And yet, she is becoming Mi Miguel's dog more and more.

This is where you will find our girl every morning as her master drives away from our house. She loves that man.
