Since we’ve been working on the house, I’ve gotten so many comments and notes from readers saying how they love to read about the remodel-or I have gotten notes telling me to check out this blog or that blog as the authors of those blogs are also remodeling a house.
I’ve gotten so that I too like house remodeling blogs. Â One that was mentioned to me is Front Porch Indiana. Â That inspired me to look for more.
I love this one, Old Houses. Â It’s filled with lots of houses…many classic Victorians that are being remodeled. Â I am sure some of you might want to check it out. Â I’m going to warn you though. Â It’s a little like Pinterest. Â I need to set a timer before I go there as it is a huge time sucker.
I have even had some fun with going to google and typing in “remodeling house before and after”. Â That has lead me to some fun places. Â I have to say though, sometimes I just cringe at the changes. Â I love wood and woodwork. Â I can’t imagine painting it ever. Â I also can’t imagine putting carpet over hard wood floors. Â Neither of those things is going to happen at my house.
We are at the point (already) at our house that we think it will never get done. Â We are still so busy destructing that the dream of reconstructing is still pretty far off. Â Seeing all of the before and after pictures really has me thinking there is hope for our house yet.
Later this week I’ll try to give you a sneak peek at the inside floor plan…and yep. Â We are tweaking it already.
If you know of any house remodeling blogs that you’d like to share, please leave a link to them in the comment section. Â I’d love to take a look.

I haven’t read it in forever, but the early posts at http://thedilletanteproprietor.blogspot.com/ are absolutely amazing. When she bought her house it was truly awful — beyond anything that you or I would even imagine tackling. I absolutely love her attitude, except she makes me feel like such a wimp.
There are some before and after pictures here — http://www.roomzaar.com/rate-my-space/Kitchens/600-dollar-throw-away-house/detail.esi?oid=17570338 — easier to digest than reading through the whole blog. And they’ll show why I read the whole thing a couple of years back.
How’s DH’s Hand/arm….?
I am right there with you. We get one small project done at a time. Outdoor things, and garden when the weather is nice. When the weather gets colder it is inside stuff.
