I love my Etsy shop, and have decided to add different options when it comes to the fabric I offer.</div>
<div align="center">
Linen has always been a favorite.</div>
<div align="center">
It's organic.</div>
<div align="center">
It drapes beautifully.</div>
<div align="center">
Can be washed and dried...actually, it gets softer the more you wash it.</div>
<div align="center">
Is very strong and long lasting if you treat it properly.</div>
<div align="center">
And...it's just gorgeous.</div>
<div align="center">
So here are a few items I now offer, with more to come.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Linen Café Curtain with a Scalloped top...I love these!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perfect in a kitchen...would give privacy over a Bath Tub with a window...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a great addition to bedroom windows too!</div>

Another Linen item I love are Pillowcases.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sleeping on Linen can't be beat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Especially when you've laundered them and hang them out in the Sunshine!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't think many people use clotheslines anymore, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but it's my favorite way to dry laundry...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
even towels :)</div>

So this is where we started with the interior.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first layer of carpeting...yes, there were two layers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first layer was authentic green/blue shag from the 70's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh the memories that came flooding back to me...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the second layer was the brownish sculptured carpeting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is not for those of you with a weak stomach...sorry.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't even need a knife for most of this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Overall, the floor is in reasonable shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The floors haven't been refinished before...the house was built in 1951.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My floor guy will sand them and then we'll decide on how dark a stain we'll use.</div>

There are a few reasons why we're tackling this little house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's in the same neighborhood that we live in...Aviation Heights.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was built the same year our home was built...1951.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's the same floorplan as ours with a few minor changes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last, but not least, this house is right next door to ours!</div>

This new Master Bedroom has such a calming effect </div>
<div align="center">
as soon as you walk into it.</div>

It's quiet and soothing...not a bad thing for a bedroom.</div>

As with everything else we added or changed while doing this addition...</div>
<div align="center">
it just makes us happy.</div>

The furniture was my parents'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were lucky to get them as hand-me-downs when they bought a new set </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
about 30 years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still love it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish the headboard were taller.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Boxsprings and mattresses were a lot thinner back then.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe I can piece the headboard with 2x4's so I can get the extra height we need.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It really is too pretty to be hidden behind pillows.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's still some tweaking to be done, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but we're loving this room.</div>

in the trash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They had just bought their daughter a new desk from a local furniture store</div>

and didn't want this little treasure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I literally dragged it and the chair home right then and there.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the exception of actually expanding the size of the kitchen...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this was all done inexpensively.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stock unfinished cabinets from Home Depot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were able to order 36" uppers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted them myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We added 1'x4's and crown to the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The crown runs all around the kitchen for a custom look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This isn't the route for lots of people, but we used them in our last kitchen and actually liked them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can repaint whenever I feel like it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They're not $15,000 of laminate cabinets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They came in at about $1,000.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That works for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They don't have self closing drawers or doors...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what's the purpose for that anyway?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The backsplash tile is from Lowes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The porcelain floor tile is from a local store and was only $1.69 per square foot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our Bosch dishwasher...love...was a return at our local Best Buy...less than half the price of a new in the box one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cabinet hardware was purchased online...solid brass.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We reused the sink, faucet, stove and range hood from our previous kitchen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lanterns were a yard sale find...I removed the glass, took them apart and painted them...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
$10 for the pair.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Schoolhouse lights were a Craigslist find.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Notice that the canopies at the ceiling are different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our electrician thought I was crazy for using the lighting I chose throughout the addition.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He soon figured out that he was correct.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We saved thousands of $$$ because I did almost all the finish work myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did all the painting...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
floor tiling...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
backsplash tiling...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
grouting...more painting...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been busy, but I've loved every minute of it.</div>

Master Bath on a petite budget...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the tile above is from Lowes...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
very, very inexpensive but I think when the bath is finished it's going to look amazing!</div>

It's a narrow room...not quite 7 feet by 20</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The large grey porcelain is my floor tile, it's 20"x20" and will be laid on the diagonal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know, sounds crazy...but I like how it'll look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Carrera mosaic will be the floor in the walk in shower.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It'll also be the band running under the white ceramic chair rail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There will be about a 42" white subway, mosaic band and chair rail all around the room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's going to be wonderful, trust me.</div>

I was going to refinish and re use my clawfoot bath tub...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but after getting quotes and the reality of it not really being a great "soaking" tub...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
well, I went in a different direction.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To rationalize, I sold the clawfoot and didn't have to pay to have it refinished so... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my "splurge" didn't really cost any extra :)</div>

We've had progress...electrical and most of the plumbing rough in is done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the windows are in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The laundry room is beginning to take shape,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it'll be much more functional than it was.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's very frustrating when a day or two goes by and no one is here working.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Definitely a lesson in patience.</div>

Although I was excited about this day...</div>
<div align="center">
I have to admit it was a bit overwhelming when things started to happen.</div>
<div align="center">
Here's a recap of last week's progress...</div>
