The House At Sugar Creek

These curtains from JC Penney are simply the suitable length. When you've got home windows that are greater than eighty four" tall, visit their website to seek out reasonably priced curtains in your desired length. It's the SOLELY place I've found on the internet that sells the one hundred ten" panels that we'd like for this previous dog-trot home.

My good friend Vicki gave me two hand towels embroidered with THE HOME AT SUGAR CREEK for my birthday, and so they're completely cute in our "new" rest room. We're nonetheless not utterly completed-we want electrical retailers, new windows, and we need to install quarter spherical across the baseboards and put crown moulding around the ceiling. However the vast majority of labor in the downstairs toilet has been completed, and we're delighted with the result. We've effectively blended antiques with different antiques to create a space that's each functional and welcoming. What do you think about my loopy mustard-coloured partitions? I love them with all of my heart.

The final step of the painting course of involved protecting the ground in several layers of polyurethane. I lost approximately three kilos within the course of, and my arms started to alter form; my reflection was changing virtually as quickly as the home surrounding it. The subsequent step concerned actually making my husband offended. Not solely did I wish GotGossip to move the heavy bathtub inside, however I additionally wished to play house for a short time. For practically an hour, we moved the refinished tub to each single corner of the room. I attempted placing it in front of the home windows, alongside a picket wall, behind the lavatory door, and every attainable combination possible.

These two historic chairs we purchased for $5 every at a neighborhood public sale-paradoxically sufficient, they belonged to the Robinson family. (The Robinsons bought THE HOUSE AT SUGAR CREEK from the Taylor Household in 1902.) Right here is a photograph of the bathtub on the day we moved it to Sugar Creek. My husband was more than skeptical and had turned the bathtub restoration over to me fully. He needed to buy a full-sized shower from a house improvement retailer (gasp!!!) and I was terrified that if my venture failed, Shaun would possibly get his way. So what's a southern gal to do when she needs to perform a miracle? Yep-you guessed it. She turns to YouTube and Pinterest for advice.
