I like it, though, it gives me time to be thoughtful about things and think through things before I make big commitments. I love what you're doing and I look forward to seeing more! ~Angela~Angela @ Cottage Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08434781404304589991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173640399782033852.post-2538011722907386032013-03-24T20:13:50.897+00:002013-03-24T20:13:50.897+00:00Merci de cette visite... d'un coin plus froid ...Merci de cette visite... d'un coin plus froid que la Bretagne apparemment!

I really like what you have done so far in renovating your cottage. I don't have experience in renovating BUT I know when we built our house, it was made by hand by a local carpenter, so I was thinking that if you could locate or interview some, you might find a generous person who can put together a kitchen for you. It is amazing what a lovely paint colour can do and also a carpenter might know others in the building trade where there are left over materials. It is just a thought, even for shelves etc. All the best and it is nice following your journey.

My hubby stayed home today to work more on the piece we started earlier in the week but only had evenings to do. I can already say - I AM LOVING IT! Of course - as you are familiar with in your projects - the house is a MESS right now. We are using Cece Caldwell chalk paint for the buffet but some pieces we just plan to paint white or pink.<br /><br />It isn't always about MONEY anyway - to some degree it is our ability to envision something and be successful at creating.Bernideenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323630851115338825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173640399782033852.post-82302847185993933522013-03-22T19:48:35.583+00:002013-03-22T19:48:35.583+00:00It sometimes takes perseverance to get through a r...It sometimes takes perseverance to get through a renovation, but you are off to a wonderful start.

When my spouse was home he would barbecue, but cold food and the microwave were used a lot, so much microwaving that I didn't put one in my kitchen! We were given a toaster oven and its marvelous.<br /><br />It's so pretty!!! What's blogging for, but to get some ideas and make them your own! <br /><br />I have Pinterest boards with lots of cute ideas, and probably inexpensive, because achievable was why I pinned them under Colorful Kitchens, Rustic Kitchens, Cottage Kitchens, and Fun Kitchens.<br /><br />Good for you on the sewing! My daughter decided to take some of her piano win and buy a sewing machine to teach herself. She's doing great with the hemming and has made a couple of pillows for gifts. It's a handy skill to have.

I'm living thru you. My husband would never go for an old house. It's my dream to have one and remodel it. Although I know what a pain it could be and how much it would cost, it's still a dream. (Maybe I need to start play the lottery. Then I could afford to do it for a vacation home.) <br />I'm not a sewer at all, so even a hemming would impress me.
