[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 509545, member: 84"] AWESOME!! Have fun with it. One thing nice about the dollar stores is you can do a lot with very little, and the effect is the same. :) I have plans for mine in the future, but at the moment it's just getting it back up to snuff. Then I worry about coming up with funds to make it look really nice again, the way I've wanted it to look since the day we saw it. Odd. Your post reminded me of walking by my house while taking Rowdy and Molly on walks thinking what a shame it was that whoever owned this lovely old home took such awful care of it. It was in pretty bad shape but you could, if you knew what you were looking at, still imagine it as it was in it's glory. And I'd think to myself, what I wouldn't do to have the house as my very own, how I'd cherish it and love it and care for it. Because to me, the old handcrafted homes are a living thing, not just a box where one hangs their hat. I never dreamed that the person who owned this home would finally totally renovate it. Evidently during the time frame in which he did this I'd taken the dogs on another route for their walks. I do remember driving by once while they had the entire upper floor resting on basically a crane, telling husband it was about time they got their act together. Imagine my surprise when the realtor brought us to this house to view! (because I'd not seen it finished and it had been finished for 2 yrs by then) I was stunned. A little more than ticked at a few things the owner did that he shouldn't have done.......but the house was beautiful again and it warmed my heart. And of course we bought it. LOL I never dreamed walking by with the dogs I'd ever even own a house, let alone the one I used to admire even in it's severely run down state. And now I feel bad for having neglected it. But I'm working on it. :) All it really needs is the hauling junk out and the walls painted and some new carpet. So, it's not totally impossible. [/QUOTE]
