some lovely mumbo jumbo.

the story of this old house.

we bought this lovely home.

it has a basement apartment.

that didn't look like this. (and this picture isn't even with it done)

in fact if we had taken before pictures, you wouldn't believe that it was the same basement.

or the amount of blood sweat and tears this basement took.

we have had water problems, more water problems, all kinds of problems.

we had too put the upstairs on hold to finish the downstairs. then....

we finally finished the basement to be rented out for october.

we rented it out to two girls who love it, and made it really cool.

and now my goal for before thanksgiving is to finish the upstairs.

the husband does not know about this goal.

he is still burned out from the how much work the basement took.

and to be honest i am too.

but i am dreaming of my house being homey and cozy and my kind of perfect.

and having all the walls painted, and no blue tape anywhere to be found.

i think i will finish painting the baseboards tonight.

happy happy tuesday!
