sin

A couple of years ago Kendra and I engaged in some home renovation.  Our house has a wide-open space where the kitchen, a dining area, and a hearth room all flow into one another.  For several years we had been dissatisfied with the look and feel of those rooms.  In our minds we had a vision for the way the three rooms should look and feel.  Finally, we decided to turn that vision into reality.  We renovated.  First, we removed what wasn’t working and what wasn’t appealing.  We tore the linoleum out of the kitchen and the dining area.  We ripped out the carpet from the hearth room.  And I demolished a half-wall which had separated the dining area from the hearth room.  Having removed what wasn’t working and what wasn’t appealing, we added things which were more attractive and effective.  We had warm brown tile laid on the floor of all three rooms.  We purchased a new dining set and a new desk for the area.  And now we are much happier with all three spaces.Read More »Renovate: Transforming Your Character
