THOUGHTS AND RAMBLINGS
my little blog was created for me and a few friends to watch and keep track of "Little Cabin's" transformation....and if others pop in and enjoy, I'm happy...
it's simple...stuff is added when I have time...
and....it's ONLY about little cabin....her previous meager existence...and her emergence into a warm, quiet, fun, relaxing retreat.

One of my major concerns....No official place for the toilet paper...I spent weeks and weeks commiserating where or where would the toilet paper go?
Refurbished metal strip around the tub...new formica, new faucets and shower head.
The smaller nested table fit perfectly next to the toidy as a TP holder...I was thrilled!! No more on the counter top or hanging over the cabinet dooooorrrr!
COMPLETED. NEW COUNTERTOP, NEW BOWL SINK, LIGHT IS FLOATING ON TOP OF MIRROR. KNOBS RELOCATED...
HAND PAINTED WALLS TO DISGUISE OVER 30+ HOLES AND SCARS.
Bathtub - needs no explanation....

I could never have completed the inside of the cabs without the new mini foam paint rollers. Cut my time down to half.
No more knobs in the center of the kitchen cabinets...yahoo!!
ON A PERSONAL NOTE: The mattress and box springs were propped up in the kitchen so I dropped them flat on the floor and slept. Lots of times I had worked so late into the night and was so tired that I just plopped onto the mattress clothes and all. Slept like a log. NOTHING BETTER THAN SLEEPING TO THE SOUND OF THE RIVER!!

The living room - kitchen
The previous owners had left behind alot of furniture and miscellaneous items. holes in the walls...and MICE!!!
The old front door was actually an interior door in which a window had been fitted and a human sized doggy door had been placed. The first night of sleeping there, I piled everything big and heavy I could find, in front of it.
THE LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN FLOOR...Lumber Liquidators, maple laminate...$.78 cents a square foot. I had never laid laminate......strained nerves, sweat, tapping with blocks, no square walls...did I mention the cussing? ... it looked so easy on DIY!!!
