I'm probably not going to bother with the wood floors though, because it is just to daunting right now hahahah.

Luckily the two breeds that she has are not bad, one is a lab and the other a dachshund.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026706261655333994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499604508854863927.post-27451436939030456182014-05-14T09:00:34.459-07:002014-05-14T09:00:34.459-07:00I was thinking the same about a canvas situation w...I was thinking the same about a canvas situation with a nice fabric stretched over it too. I will have to take a trip to the art shop soon! Yes, I cannot wait until the owner puts the fence up.

For getting the spark...That's a beautiful home! For getting the sparkly back into the old flooring I'd like to suggest Halloway House Quick Shine Floor Finish. It's made for use in heavy traffic areas and is not slippery like other waxes. We used to live in a 100 year old house with wood floors (before wood floors were popular) and this was the only wax available. I put from 5 - 7 coats down on all the floors that needed shinning - both wood & lino- and the shine lasted almost a year. We had 8 kids at home then so there were a lot of feet on those floors! You will want to get an inexpensive sponge mop, wet it, pour the wax on, then spread with a the damp mop. The mop only gets better & better as it gets wax into the sponge. Put a fan on to dry quicker and repeat. My mil taught me the damp mop trick - it is almost impossible to get all the wax out & won't mop well for future cleaning. You can soak it in water for the next time & all the wax still in the sponge will be a benefit. I never ever stripped any old wax off and never had any problems with yellowing. This is an older product so look on shelves knee high or lower - the bottle is white and the label is mostly green. Walmart is where I found it. Good luck! A good waxing will really brighten things up.Stephanie in ARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117946992633230458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499604508854863927.post-33728824052068145482014-05-14T07:45:56.023-07:002014-05-14T07:45:56.023-07:00Fences are wonderful!

Thinking about the air conditioning unit...could you not put a framed canvas over it and then create a bit of a gallery wall? Maybe stretch some pretty fabric over a frame that would fit around it nicely? Love the space and the light...sending positive vibes!! xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06113899353166879853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499604508854863927.post-45332220576447587802014-05-14T06:01:53.824-07:002014-05-14T06:01:53.824-07:00Your new home is coming together so nicely.

And it's so nice that you can enjoy the view from your kitchen. I really love your bedroom. The slipcovered chair, and nice bedding give it such a cozy and inviting look. I hope things settle down with the landlords daughter soon. A pig...

She is friendly enough, but the animal thing is out of control. Once the fence goes up though there won't be too much of an issue, except the occasional barking. We truly had no other choice though, so while there are some of those annoying issues, we were lucky to get this place. I looked on Craigslist last week to see if we missed out on anything, and there still isn't anything! We do have some things to go through in the garage/storage area. After this move, I can't even imagine carting all this junk around again!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026706261655333994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499604508854863927.post-51614958894098735462014-05-13T17:38:29.236-07:002014-05-13T17:38:29.236-07:00The house is coming together, and from your photos...The house is coming together, and from your photos it looks quite nice...but the room full of boxes gave me shivers. Our garage still is packed with boxes, thought they are full of things to get rid of. I weeded out 2/3 of my books, gulp. Im just so tired of carting them around. I'd have REAL problems with the dogs, if shes not cleaning up after them, its going to stink! Kind of sucks that she's the landlords daughter :(Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04689724207043206712noreply@blogger.com
