Some days I feel this overwhelming need to take this poor neglected house and give it a hug, tell it that everything is ok now, and that we will take care of it.
Take this poor room for instance. The previous owners let their dog destroy it. Neighbors have told us that it was a Pit Bull, and while I don’t have a problem with Pit Bulls in general, that is one powerful dog to keep locked up and bored. This is going to be our mudroom, we have never had a mudroom and I am beyond excited about it!
We are planning on tiling the floor, adding cabinets and a utility sink on one wall, and hooks, a bench and cubbies on the other wall. I am so thankful to have a nice large space to organise the zillion hats, gloves, coats and shoes we have banging around, not to mention corralling all the mud (hopefully!).
