It's been eighteen months since we embarked on
our renovation journey
and I've finally gotten around to asking myself if "we're there yet".
I have a sneaking suspicion that, for me at least, when it comes to our home renovation we're never actually going to arrive, simply because my "there" is a tad too Utopian.
Far from being frustrated, I'm actually very content with this idea of a never-ending renovation journey especially since I'm now enjoying some major accomplishments. All this to say that it's a excellent time to take stock of what we've done, where we are, and where we want to go from here.
First things first though ...
Who Are We?
We're a family of six living out in the 'burbs of Ottawa. As you can see, three members of the family happen to be of the canine variety which, believe you me, complicates any home design/decoration project we undertake. Our dogs are well-trained & well-behaved (and the only members of the family willing to have their pictures posted on social media) but it still pays to be proactive in creating an inclusive environment.
I'll probably be mentioning design decisions based on the dogs much more often than those based on my husband or daughter.
With the exception of our daughter, this is our "forever" home. We've been here a while and have no intention of moving; renovation for resale is not on our minds.
We basically know what works and what doesn't; figuring out how to fix various problems is another story.
