When you have no money, you have to keep your sense of humor!
Eventually, less horrible things happened daily with the loft. We started calling it an “apartment” rather than “the garage” and the list had less big projects and more little tedious things that were welcomed by me as a much-needed change. I was ready to figure out where to put that giant toothbrush from a 1950’s dentist’s office and too beat to do anything else. It was great. But in case you were sort of enjoying the drama of it all, don’t worry, we still have two pretty huge disasters coming your way soon… and a gleaming recommendation for Roto-Rooter. 🙂

- hot pink door for the half bath
-
- I had this hot pink paint, so I decided to use it!
-
- Finally, the cats stopped hiding all day.
-
- One of our roof leaks ended up being dripping condensation from a water pipe, so Jeff insulated it to stop it.
-
- You can see the curtains separating the bedrooms just beyond my office “wall”
-
- I sewed two Ikea curtains together to make really long ones and hung them to cover the fuse boxes and separate the bedrooms.
-
- So much stuff to figure out!
-
- When you have no money, you have to keep your sense of humor!
-
- We formed an island out of two cabinets and a raw wood table top from Ikea. I’m loving having a big, open kitchen!
-
- We bought these great cabinets from Ikea for the kitchen. They look like vintage red cross stuff and go perfectly with the chalkboard wall!
-
- Finally our real bed!
-
- we finally moved our bed from this upper area to the “bedroom”
-
- Finally we bought, painted and hung a door for the bathroom! I love it in there!
-
- The dressing room started to come together, but we still didn’t have a door for the main bathroom…
-
- Though other things were getting more civilized, we were still living out of a pile of clothes, unsure of what was clean or dirty!

You forgot to mention that the pink was supposed to be on the inside side of the bathroom door, but it turned out to be a fortunate mistake, like when the people at Ivory accidentally made their soap buoyant.
I didn’t know that about Ivory soap. Why is that fortunate though?? So you never lose it?
