Reno post #30: Empty house, well, almost empty

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Home/reno|Multimedia experiments

I spent a very sweaty morning hauling some last things over to the apartment. The list included a wedding dress, a toolbox, toilet brush & holder, and cleaning supplies. You don’t get much more random and disorganized than that, do you? Some day I might even laugh about it.

While I was there I thought it might be interesting to post a quick walkthrough (this is MUCH shorter than the last one), right before demolition begins.

Next on our list: to decide upon the final colours of the exterior, and about a hundred other things.

oh that “Beatrix Potter-style” border in the blue and green kid bedroom is too adorable to remove! you should keep a little piece of it for framing or as a momento if you are planning to take it down.
Just imagine how exciting it will be to return to “a different” home when all is over…We are doing renos as well right now and I almost always wish that I was staying somewhere else with all the noise and that mess !

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
