My Little Projects

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

I bought this little mobile home. It was all I could afford after divorce. I only had a tiny budget left to do stuff. Most of my budget went on a new kitchen because I could not live with badly hand-painted, black cabinets, and the fridge broke the week I moved in. The rest of the budget went on the fireplace, no more coming in from work at night and having to lay a fire, no more chopping and stacking wood, no more dead spiders! I did all the yard work myself. Sledgehammering the nasty, old wood shed was better than any therapy :) It’s my little space and I like it.

    I also refreshed the dining room.





    And I’ve made a partial start on the bathroom. This summer’s project is tiling the tub and shower enclosure.

    You did a great job. Much happiness with your new start in life. I'm sure coming

    home to "your" home makes you smile when you go in.

    Really well done. It doesn’t look like a “little mobile home” anymore. Charming, light and comfortable.

    The home is gorgeous! You have a great work ethic and nice design eye. But one thing and I probably missed it but the Vermont stove must be fireproof. Do not see fire/heat Pete toon for your floor or wall by the stove? Why?
  • 7 years ago
    Typo do you not need fire proof wall and floor where stove is?
  • 7 years ago
    What a visual representation of your life whether it through the changes of a divorce. Going from broken down and struggling to beautiful new stage of life that only loving yourself can do! Hope the rest of your life is turning out just as a amazing.

    Susan Davis: no, it’s a Jotul propane stove and it does not have to be installed like a wood stove would be. It has all been installed according to code by a proper stove installer. It does not need fireproof materials around it and clearances don’t apply to it.

    I love how you worked with an unimpressive back splash and made it look so classy and perfect in your new kitchen. This space seems transformed and uplifted. One of the best before and afters ever.
