The Victorian

Lately, many more projects are being started around here than are being finished.  It’s always something…  And it certainly does not have anything to do with me being overly ambitions.  Pfff.

A few things that are undone around the house?

undone

And that’s just the bathroom.  The bathroom is currently a mess because the shelf we’re now using as a media center was holding all of our toiletries and towels.  Now the floor is holding them all.  I need to fix that this week.  But first, I need to paint the walls, install new baseboard and trim, then cut, stain and install the new wall shelves.

Oh, and finish patching, priming and painting the ceiling too.

On another note, in light of a few things I’ve learned about taking better pictures, the photos on our house tour page are making me twitch a little.  So I have a goal of taking all new photographs of the house and updating that page by the end of February.  See?  I’m not overly ambitions at all.

    Does your bathroom have a wooden floor? That feels odd to me.
    I wish I has as many things unfinished, I’m starting to feel really bored 🙂

      Aww, I’d gladly give you some of my projects! 🙂

      It is wood. When we moved in, there was REALLY bad vinyl tiling. We wanted to expose the original hardwood, but they damaged it too badly with the vinyl, so we just put bamboo over the top of it.

      And I’m glad you forgot, because it reminded me to add the option for you to edit comments!

    Same here: more unfinished projects than done projects!

Hubs is trying to fix it as usual. But seriously...I don't know if any more obstacles could be thrown at us during this challenge. 😂

Ugly photo time! We're doing the $100 Room Challen Ugly photo time! We're doing the $100 Room Challenge on our dining room (that you guys haven't even seen the "before" of yet). It's a super fun challenge to stay within $100 and makeover a room in a month. We're behind schedule, but there has actually been progress. I'll try to remember to share here, but there's more on the blog! LittleVictorian.com

House update! The realtor is still confused about House update! The realtor is still confused about why "it's such a popular house." When she arrived yesterday for a showing, there were 8 cars in the driveway. 😃

We had three offers the first day, one of whom hadn't even seen the house in person yet.
Surprise! The house is going on the market today. Surprise! The house is going on the market today. (Long story that I'll fill you in on when I have more than 2 seconds.)

But we're once again with a realtor that calls our house "unique" instead of calling it a Mid Century Modern. 🤦‍♀️
.
We can't count how many locals came into this house and mentioned that those windows should be removed and walled up and the beams cut off. And then it would be a "normal" house. 🤯
.
Still can't really identify with people in this area. 🤷‍♀️ SO happy to be going back home to the East coast TOMORROW!
Right? We're getting back into the house restorat Right? 
We're getting back into the house restoration and we'll be working on the powder room in the master bed. 
Guys. It's bad. Swipe to see.
And we're going to try to make it pretty with a super tiny budget of $100 in 4 weeks and we're joining the #100roomchallenge to keep us (me) motivated.
