Looking Back and Moving Forward

I've been in SC for most of  September and I'm trying to wrap up a few chores before I head back to FL.  I've been painting,  working on flooring, cabinets and making an island for my kitchen.  I've been blessed with excellent help from family and friends  throughout the month and  I could never have gotten this far without them.

Today I sort of hit a wall (figuratively)  and needed a break.  I headed back to my home away from home, cleaned up and took a nap (one of only a handful of naps I've taken since I arrived, but a daily activity under normal circumstances).  Right before I drifted off to sleep I started thinking about all we've accomplished.  Take a look...

ThenNow

Bedroom with added linen closet

Back porch - On the way to becoming a laundry room.

I believe my friend's expression says it all, but look at the bathroom now.

New everything and a water closet instead of a giant linen closet.

Note:  I would have salvaged the green and black tiles, but they weren't tiles, just plastic.  We salvaged some for a future project.

  First look at the kitchen and dining area ...

 Same area with new floor.

Cooking up a kitchen.

This was the living room or "parlor" and now it's a bedroom with a nice new closet.  Piano is in storage and will become a desk - eventually.

There is still a lot to be completed, but I am re-energized looking at all we have accomplished so far! 

Back to work tomorrow!
