Maple Hill Journey

Over the last two years I have made many changes to my home. Once I decided to stay I new I had work to do. Everything from making it more energy efficient, redoing the garage, much needed repairs, colorful, vintage, artsy - all those things that make it mine. I had created a Vision Board back in early 2013 and have stuck with it. There are still a few things to be done (next year, a rustic Potting Shed!) but pretty much cosmetic now. 

Today I was going through some things and found this old picture when the house was purchased in 2000 - it was built in 1979 and we purchased from the original owner. 

What a transformation - it hardly looks like the same place. In a few corners you still find traces of the original red paint - but nothing else remains. Needless to say, I am very very very happy! Enjoy. Jewels

And so it continues...

...after the excitement of the Rose Room (I found out later from my lovely contractor that it took longer to hang the "bling" then intstall the light fixture -LOL - A+ to him for sticking with it)...things have been a little mundane. Power washing outside siding (not too exciting but oh my things look so much "cleaner"), touch up painting, preparing for the bathroom demolition, arranging for tree trimming, rehabilitation of my poor lawn AND a new Air Condition (doing it now before our first heat wave)...

Look at that colour - Sea Breeze! The picture does not do it justice.. I posted awhile back about the Sun Room and this is the first step...this wall was a rather heavy dark gold colour (you can see in the post) - I am so happy to see it go.  I left the cream colour on the other walls and it is actually a nice contrast.

I need to take before and  after pictures of my very Mrs. Brady Bathroom (some of you will understand the reference ha ha). Looking forward to the next little adventure here at Maple Hill! Take care...Jewels
