    Nice! I just redid my half bath. Well, the contractor did the hard work but I picked out all the stuff which can be hard too! I'm waiting on the new mirror to be here in June so I can show everyone. It does feel great to get that old junk you hate out of there! Bet yours will be really nice when it is all finished!

    Sounds like my life recently…sneaking in quilting in between home renovations and yard work!

    You gotta learn to breathe girl…enjoy the journey. It took me years to get the stuff done (eg new bathroom). As for a cool nursery…second hand cribs, home made diapers…the kids are fine, bathrooms are fine…you do what you can do, you do your best even when you aren't your best, just enjoy it

  4. Wow Leah, you are a very handy human. Don't you just love renovating? Demo is my favorite. A new perspective in our familiar surroundings is just so much fun.

  5. Good luck with your renovations Leah, I hope we'll get to see some pictures in a few days when you're all done!

  6. How exciting! Never a dull moment.. by the way, who plays the piano?

  7. Leah Day says:

    Marelize – We actually all play around on it occasionally! I've always loved piano and decided it was a good instrument to have in the house. The funny thing is, if you start looking you can easily find someone willing to give you a piano, though you do have to pay to have it tuned properly!

  8. Leah – that's ALOT to be doing at the same time – I know you love it but if you're both overworked and stressed and living in a mess, you won't associate it with happy thoughts. Just take care of you all and like you say, it's only temporary x
    Good luck!

    I'm impressed. Home upgrades can be stressful, but I desperately need to bite the bullet and do it too. I think you are making amazing progress and it is going to look great. Hang in their.

    I have heard of some people having "Home Improvement Parties" where friends are invited to come help. Maybe others nearby can come help. I would, if I lived closer!

    Oh Leah I know its so exciting when you start picking colours etc BUT then the mess and you wonder why you ever started. YES it will all be worth it LOL We did a big project on our last last year removed a wall etc the dust I thought the house or myself would never be clean again LOL LOL Rosemary

  14. Malini says:

    Oh wow! You're so handy around the house too. I always shy away from any renovation.

    Way to go, Leah!

    Hi Leah, Sure I believe you LOL! I hope you have taken time to rest after every few hours. Sometimes in our attempt to get things done we don't listen to our bodies. Muscles aching, and feeling tired and needing sugar/food. Well I hope you have achieved all that you wanted. Until you next blog take care thinking of you. Hey that thing I'm sending you is still a work in progress. It's only a small thing but it certainly takes my time. Happy quilting Julie.
