New Beginnings = New Projects

Since most recently I have had a few "what's up with your blog" comments - I thought I should send an update.  Yes, the summer flew by with twins out of school, summer travels, summer company, summer martinis and summer FUN.  I also started a new job (long overdue after all my long hiatus of fun and adventures) and between all of that, who in the hell has the time to blog?  Oh yeh, the hundreds and hundreds of bloggers, that I call Pro Bloggers, who somehow find the time to manage kids, houses, DIY projects and still find time to post!   Obviously I do NOT fall into that category, I am definitely a baby blogger.

Onward....to my decision/s on "new beginnings".  My work here on my current ugly duckling has come to a halt.  Jobs we decided to tackle are for the most part done.  Probably a good thing, since I have taken a new job and all new jobs seem to take a bit of extra time.  Then there's the whole working solo mom, how do I get it all done syndrome that I am still getting used to again.  Let's just say my house just isn't nearly as clean.  In fact, I don't even care and that's huge for me. 

But....drum roll please....there is a new ugly duckling waiting for me. Well it certainly isn't a baby ugly duckling, more of a teen-age duck that needs some TLC.  It could also be called a large man cave that needs the eye/touch of a woman. The Fabulous Mr. S proposed to me and it didn't take me long to say yes!  Mind you, we are the same 2 people who said we never planned to marry again. Hmmmmmm.....enough said.

So, with the proposal, he also gave his blessing to "do whatever you want to the house".  So, fabulous and BRAVE is he!  First up will be the kitchen which currently looks like this:

 

 

Good footprint but definitely drab.  Not that it matters to the Fab Mr S, as he never ever

cooks a meal in it. He merely passes through the room as he comes through the garage.

He eats every meal out.  So, let's say his specialty in the kitchen is making reservations.

Cabinetry and appliances are ordered and this renovation will begin in October. 

Can't wait to get started and see the completed project.

 

Next up after the kitchen:

 

 

The man cave pool room will morph into a DR.

Yep, after 3 martinis the Fab Mr S agreed to let the pool room go.

I'm not above pushing martinis to have someone see the light :)

 

The list of projects is long, but the bones in the home are great.  Good flow, good sized rooms and hey, a man that has given his blessing to make it something that makes me happy.  I'ld say you can't beat that offer.....I'm "all in".

 

So people, stay tuned for the new projects to begin. 

Cheers to new beginnings, new projects and a new life to share with someone FABULOUS!
