Your words are so descriptive and I really could envison an entire house in Pepto Bismol Pink turned Dusty Blue turned purple. haha I remember those days when Mauve Pink and Dusty Blue were all the rage! And let's not forget the big cream ruffles that usually accompanied those colors! :) That was mid 80s I think. Yikes, I'm dating myself. haha And I have to admit, I did partake of those colors in a bedroom but not an ENTIRE HOUSE!!! You really had your work cut out for you but from the snippets I've seen of your home, you've done an incredible job! It's wonderful. Glad you took some time off to get swept away with HGTV. You deserve the rest. <3 CandyCandy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03535189076995596464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302448142515665561.post-74243286283696020042014-02-08T05:22:19.755-06:002014-02-08T05:22:19.755-06:00I too enjoy watching home improvement shows.

It was very amazing to live in it though.

My favorite is House hunters people kill me when they want all these things but they have a very low budget.or the people that try to renovate themselves and know absolutely nothing about it ha hawebgranny19https://www.blogger.com/profile/09140525439626912899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302448142515665561.post-9531144497975059092014-02-06T12:14:12.460-06:002014-02-06T12:14:12.460-06:00Loved the story.

You no sooner get done with everything then you must go to the thing you did first and start all over again. After awhile you stop...look around.... say to one's self "What are you doing?" At this point you call a contractor and it is HIS problem. LOL. FUN watching someone else do it while you sit back with a beverage in hand. Now I'm tired. Smile.

I have to say you've done a bang up job on the remodel and made your house your HOME! I knew you'd done a lot of work but didn't know it was that extensive. Bravo for both of you!!<br /><br />texasbarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08362694699195310554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302448142515665561.post-83344756521580079112014-02-06T09:54:33.184-06:002014-02-06T09:54:33.184-06:00Awesome story!
