Anders and I have been working on remodeling/ fixing up the apartment attached to his grandparents' house on the Wennstrom property since his great aunt died last summer. We started started fixing it up in January (which involved removing and sorting lots of Aunt Evelyn's stuff). Anders' uncle did all of the carpentry work but we did the majority of the of the painting, cleaning, and little stuff. We will live there May and June until his cousin moves in in July (then we'll move in with his parents for the rest of the summer.) Current projects include building a new covered deck in the front at the grandparents' house and painting the barn (from green to gray). I will be working at the nearby YMCA day camp this summer as the arts and crafts leader. Training wraps up this week and will start next Monday. We're also keeping busy with a giant garden!
Main level/ Living room: (photo taken from the loft), re-stained the windows, new paint (Swedish blue), new trim, new moulding, new facade on fireplace, refinished floors
Kitchen: new cabinets, new trim, new crown moulding, took out wall where island is, new counters, new floor
Downstairs hallway: new paint, new trim (wish there was new carpet!) cool spiral staircase huh?
2nd Bedroom in basement: New paint, new trim, new closet doors, (again wish the carpet wasn't green)
Bathroom in basement: new paint, new trim, deep clean
Master bedroom in basement: new paint "Swedish Yellow", new trim

Looks great. Nice work!
What a cool place...too bad you're not staying longer!
I love picturing you in this neat space. Wish you could stay, but enjoy the few weeks left. See you at the lake anytime?
