I thought I had, so I went and looked it up in Google Images, and actually, didn’t really find too much.
So that was the before.. …and after!… or rather, during!.I feel better now, don’t you?
Whether it’s taken a whole year or not, that’s progress!We have a whole collection of old saws in our garage.Actually we had more last year, but I think Chris may have “de-cluttered” some of them.. I’ve been eyeing them up for the last year, secretly thinking I could steal them and use them inside in some kind of rustic, tool-inspired decorating extravaganza.Never did though.. Then.
I saw an image, which I now can’t find, in the last issue of the Pottery Barn catalogue.I’m a visionary..
I ran out to the garage likity split and grabbed those puppies up..
I played around with them in the mud room, just to see what would happen.. Love this look!With that savings we were able to make the transition from working crazy full-time hours in a stressful corporate job to taking a risk and eventually being able to work from home (amazing!!).
All this while still enjoying DIY projects around the house, putting on a new metal roof and buying fun new appliances.So if you’re not going to get a decent amount of money to put into savings from the sale of your old house, start putting a bit away now!.
Pick the RIGHT farmhouse.If you’ve decided you want to live the old farmhouse dream, just be aware that not all old farmhouses are created equally.
