You are renovating when...

Signs that you are a home renovator:

1.) You go to Home Depot/Rona/Lowe's at least 10 times a week. You go so much in fact that you know the sales personnel and their shifts. You actually see them more than your friends and get pretty good treatment because you aren't the reno weekend warrior but are the daily reno warrior.
2.) You stop planning vacations, but start planning to-do lists that excite you just as much as an all inclusive vacation.
3.) You live in a house but are contained to your "basement apartment" (aka - the only dust and tool free zone).
4.) You can talk home reno shop like its nobody's business and exchange tips with other men in their 50's at work, except you are a twenty something female.
5.) When you pick up take-out at the Thai restaurant and he gives you a discount because he feels bad that you are still renoing.
6.) You are starting to have more clothes covered in paint, dust and wood chips than your normal clothes.
7.) You are completely obsessed with anything decor and read more blogs, magazines etc more than the daily paper.

Welcome to our blog! We have been wanting to do this for a long time, but haven't had the time to sit down and do it! We recently moved into our home in May and are continuing to renovate.

Over two years ago, we purchased a gorgeous new home. Then this past December we sold it and packed up and moved into an older home that needed some TLC. The house is in great condition, but needs some major adjustments. Fearless and after watching too many DIY shows and Mike Holmes, we threw in the hammer and started demoing and deconstructing our house.

I should also clarify that when we mean "we", I mean my amazing husband A. I help with the decor, yard work and clean up. However, we make a great team!!

Thanks for joining us and are really looking forward to documenting our journey to a gorgeous home with no dust, no power tools and fresh paint.
