Updating, Slowly but Surely

The home we live in is the home I grew up in. It sounds all nostalgic and everything, until you have to deal with carpet in the bathroom and sunflower border on green and white pin-strip wallpaper in the kitchen.

Don't get me wrong - I am not blaming my parents for their choices in decor. It was not their faults that they built a house in the 80s! Actually, despite the green tub, blue carpet and blinds that are bi-colour, the house is in pretty good shape. My kitchen cupboards are 30 years old and you would never know it. In fact, when we re-did the kitchen almost 7 years ago, people thought we replaced the cupboards as well because they looked so good. But we never touched them! It's amazing the different look they can have when you change the lighting from fluorescent to pot lights.

However, there have been many things that needed changing and so we try to tackle one room a year. This fall, we hired our trusty contractors from Ridgeline Renovations and gave them our main bathroom to reno. It's a long bathroom - with lots of room.

Here are some before and afters:



Gone is the green tub and in comes a beautiful white tub.......so white it actually makes Lincoln looked tanned in it!! :o)

We are enjoying our new bathroom. And I can't believe I am saying this, but I actually don't mind cleaning a bathroom now! We are thankful to Ridgeline Renovations once again for their work. If you live in our area, we highly recommend them!

Our next reno will be the kids' bedrooms. I am pretty sure Lincoln is going to mind the bright peach that is coming through all the paint layers that were trying to hide that colour in his bedroom sooner than later. But that'll be next year. Till then, he'll have some time to see how much paint he can scratch off.
