Renovation Update at Gram’s ✨

Well… renovations always come with a few surprises, and this week was a reminder of that! The flooring materials we’ve been eagerly waiting for all week didn’t get delivered due to some unexpected shipping issues. So instead of finishing off the upstairs floors, we’re taking a little forced pause and waiting another week. Renovation patience is a real skill, right?

But we definitely didn’t let the day go to waste! We shifted gears and spent time testing some paint stripping on the stairs and a couple of the old doors. And honestly, look at the progress! As you can see from the picture, we had some real success. Underneath the layers of old paint, the original wood is already showing signs of its charm, and it’s giving us so much motivation for what’s ahead.

At one point I found myself sitting on the floor in what will someday be my bedroom. Right where my bed will eventually go, just imagining how the space will look when it’s finally finished. Thinking about paint colors, the light in the room, and how it will all come together made me feel both peaceful and excited. Even in the middle of dust and delays, there’s so much hope in these little moments.

More updates soon!
