Today is a HUGE day in my home!
After 7 1/2 years, a lot of struggles, the deaths of my husband and my ex within 5 weeks, copious amounts of tears, much heartache, innumerable temper tantrums, a pandemic, trials and tribulations beyond imagination, along with a million laughs, so many jokes, amazing memories, tremendous love, so much fun and many many celebrations my daughter and granddaughter are moving!!
Dd met a great guys about a year and a half ago and they closed on a condo last Friday. They’re moving about a half hour away from me, to southern NH. They are going to begin an absolutely amazing new life together!
As for me…on January 8 the painter arrives to start work. He’s painting all of the ceilings and walls. The trim is going from stained wood to white as are the interior doors. My kitchen cabinets are being painted white as well. I’ve purchased new fans to be installed in the bathrooms and I’m having the toilets replaced. I have a new refrigerator (French door with freezer on the bottom, yay!) and a Bosch dishwasher being delivered February 2. On January 22 the flooring company arrives to put down LPV on all of the floors and to replace carpeting on the stairs.
I’m so excited!! Like, you probably can’t imagine how long I’ve been dreaming of this day!
By the way, please don’t think for a moment that I don’t love them dearly and am grateful I’ve been able to provide them with a safe and comfortable home for all of these years. It’s just time for all of us to have our own space.

Congratulations KelleeM! I'm so happy for you! I have to say that living through renovations is HELL so be prepared!  But the result will be worth it! I will also say that living alone is it's own kind of special ... I freaking LOVE it!  You can do what you want when you want, eat what you want and just have all of the house to yourself! Enjoy! |

Nothing wrong with wanting your little birds to fly. And it sounds like they are soaring off to a new life... as are you.
Wow at the work you're having done! It's going to feel like a whole new place when you are done. And hopefully feel like a whole new beginning for you too. You deserve all the best.

I’m excited for all of you! Congratulations all the way around! One nice thing about taking on renovations solo is that only you need to be happy with your choices.  Enjoy your “new” home! |
