The Work Begins

It didn’t take long after Daffodil came home for work to begin on her journey toward beauty!  I could hardly wait but first we had to take some things apart. My sweetheart removed the big mattress and bed and the heavy-duty bunk that had been added. The next thing to go was the old curtains.  It was time to let the light come in. It seemed like instant change! It was amazing!  Everything felt so open and spacious.  I absolutely loved it!  I wasn’t thrilled with the fabric on the old cushions but we weren’t going to keep them long.  A day or two later, while my sweetheart was at work, I picked up my sweetheart’s big cordless screwdriver/drill and took off the remaining cabinet doors in the kitchen.I loved the big kitchen window – but I didn’t love the yellowed plastic panes that had been added to the bottom louvers. They will be replaced with glass before the renovation is finished.  The next thing to come down was the little table and the wall track it slides into.  I was on a roll!  I didn’t stop!  I took off the closet door. . .And the door on the shelf unit beside the closet.  I stored the table and all the doors in the big closet for safe keeping.  The doors will be patterns for new doors.  The little table will be used again.Then it was time to remove the old floor tiles that had been put on the wall beside the stove.  Those weren’t easy to remove.  They had been there a long time and they didn’t want to come down.I needed help with the little cabinet that was beside the door.  It all had to come out so my sweetheart took care of that when he came home from work. That was a lot of work and I was tired!  The afternoon sun shone through the windows and it seemed like a good time to take a nap.
