I got frustrated with my last addition when I discovered that it wouldn't fit into my rl house the way I thought it would. Reality is always getting in the way! So I thought that I'd get back into harness by working on some of the gazillion unfinished projects in my rehab houses.

My project for this summer (and beyond) is a basement addition for my house.

It will include a large rec room, a lounge, a half bath and a small patio, all circa 1960.

Here is my 2010 HBS Contest Entry. My first build, my first contest, but it was a lot of fun. It is intended to be a utility wing to add on to my big house . . .

Here is a photo journal of Celeste's visit to California.

Here are a few things I've been fiddling with.

This is an album of what I've been working on lately; mostly smallish projects to improve my house.

This is an album of a work in progress. These are two houses that my husband bought for me second-hand. I am rehabbing them and pretending that they are both wings of the same large house (the third wing is in a box in my garage) so I am painting and trimming the exteriors to look as though they are both part of the same house. I have done more work on the exterior than the interior - which needs pretty much everything but furniture and accessories. I guess I'm doing everything backwards - but furniture is the fun part, and lighting is hard!
