| Before-It was bad, but just not our style, more the style of a 70 year old man. |

| Too much brown |

| Old stove had to go |

| We moved out the fridge and microwave, but ended up bringing them back the fridge since it was still in great condition. |

Wow that looks like it was a lot of work - but so much nicer! Our old boat had a similar 70 year old man vibe too :-) Cheers - Ellen
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellen, you are like the first person to ever leave a comment. Unfortunately not many folks see our site, but we do have folks that follow us on Facebook. I stopped by your site briefly, but plan to go back for some more in depth reading. Really like what I saw. Now we are busy getting things ready for shoving off for a 10 week cruise to through the Erie Canal. Our boat has been a labor of love as our house (120 years old) was when we took it over. But it was sold this past January in preparations for more living aboard and cruising. Okay I must stop, because I could go on forever. Glad to hear from someone who is "walking the walk" so to speak. Thanks again for the kind words.
DeleteYour work is beautiful Jana... the dinette area is so bright and cheery now. I love your changes -- they've made a big difference, and the wine glass holder is spiffy too. Congratulations and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you one day along the waterways.
