Renovating Roswell : WE CAN’T GET IN!

July 26, 2017 · In: Before and After, Design, DIY, Homes For Sale, House Buying Tips, Interior Design, Kitchen

Week one and the entire house is SEALED UP.  I thought I was going to take the kids over to give them a tour, but as it turns out, every inch of the house needed to be sealed with plastic in order to scrape down the popcorn ceiling.  While I tried to poke a hole and break in, the kids took the camera to make a tour of the backyard.  Apparently I took a while because those ham bones recorded themselves tripping, exploring and trying to fight back the wild elements of this suburban backyard.  Parker, convinced that snakes and bears were going to pop out at any moment, imminently guaranteeing their death, convinced his brother to pull a Titanic moment.

There are actually some photos of the interior.  I had no idea how big of a difference getting rid of those popcorn ceilings would make!  We are well on our way to a full update on this gem!

And now I have the camera again!  Here are a few shots of the ceiling scraped down:

I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it I spent the morning foraging in the backyard… it’s bursting with hydrangea, dripping with figs (sadly for us our pet deer have helped themselves to the blueberries and blackberries 😅) but I had this moment as I was filling my vases with my bounty from my own backyard… I just smiled and felt so utterly happy- summer may just be my favorite season after all! 

What is your favorite part of summer?! 

With the weekend ahead we’ve got Prosecco and summer charcuteries on our agenda, plus a few mean rounds of cornhole with the boys! We might even squeeze in lounging in the sun, baking a blueberry crumble (with blueberries from the grocery store!), and just generally unwinding and soaking up these summer days! Happy weekend XxV
