Softiemaker: home improvement


I live with my husband and son in a little red townhouse near the river. There are 32 homes in the complex, as well as lots of birds, dogs, cats and a raccoon family. That's my son playing with his best friend, who lives next door. There's my husband, Gio, barbecuing, and there's me in front of the door working away with a mitre saw. What the heck am I doing with a mitre saw? Well, it's summer, time for 3 home improvement projects. There are three things in our little home that have been bugging me lately (uh, more actually, but these three win the Most Nagging Award) and I'm going to tackle them in the next little while.

The three Items are:

1) My kitchen is missing the mouldings. Four years ago, we renovated our little kitchen ourselves, and we sort of ran out of steam and said we'd do the mouldings later...that was 4 years ago!!
2) Our futon in our tv room is a sagging, tired old beast. Time to buy a replacement? Or what else could we do to revive it?
3) Finally, my dining room needs help. It's a bland room, with heavy, formal-ish mahogany furniture. It feels dark and during the winter, it's a cold, cold place.

So there we have it. Three projects. One person with a mission.

Off I go!
