Breakfast Room



What can I say about this room? IT IS BEAUTIFUL. This is my inspiration and how I imagaine the breakfast room will look after renovations. This is out of Country Living Mag - March 2007 issue. I love everything, but would prefer Carolina Blue walls.


What can I say about this room? HELP!!!! I am only going to budget $500 for the renovations on this room. I know it is unlikely, but I am hopeful. It is a small room 7 1/2 x 9.






Things needed and proposed costs:

New Ceiling and Molding- $100
New Floor - $150
Sheet Rock repairs - $50
Wallpaper Down - $0
Painting - $50
New Light Fixture - $100

Hopefully, this will all be complete by June 15th. The operative word - hopefully!!!
I will keep you posted......

Introduction

This is a daily (more likely 2 times a week) walk through the life of renovating a 1928 house in the small town of Elk Park.

The house was built by Brinkley and was given to his grandson, Robbie 10 years ago. Robbie always the bachelor, has neglected the home for the last 10 years........Enters - girlfriend Tammy (me).

Over the next few days, a budget will be set (a very small one) and the house will be refurbished into a home over a period of 12 - 18 months.

Wish us luck and follow along for the journey. It should be an interesting one......
