I think you wil value renos done yourself much more as well- we painted our last house entirely ourselves- took 2 years on weekends but the best paint job ever! Our reno will almost double the usable space in our house, so so worth it but we too will be painting again as we are sure the budget is not going to stretch that far. And that means poor Betsy will be staying blue a while longer. Love your magnolia too, we had a deciduous variety at our last house and it thrived despite the less than ideal climate. mel xBungalowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591099131301027446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704928024259198234.post-36292249903591282232012-12-11T04:11:25.947+08:002012-12-11T04:11:25.947+08:00Good luck Jed.

A bit like myself, ha! It sounds as though you and Anth have been really sensible and thrifty with your house renovations, I can't understand why people go into crazy amounts of debt over anything! <br />Your magnolia blossom is beautiful, it almost doesn't look real, it's so perfect and smooth and sculptural. Lovely in the white vase with the candle sticks, like a posh magazine shoot, Kylie! <br />I appreciate the bell sleeves on the robes of those wise men in the card - they are wise men, aren't they? They look too well-dressed to be mere shepherds.<br />Good luck to dear Jed for his op.

You have a vested interest in your house so of course the renovations will be better than the "time is money" approach of a stranger. At least your "after" is sure to be beautifully styled.

That's life and that's reality. I'm jealous you have your own house. We're yet to get there, and it's frustrating renting and knowing we'll soon have a mortgage in our 40s. And it won't be a dream home, but it'll do. You're okay. You have two beautiful girls and a wonderful husband, and you're full of style and class, and you make me laugh. If you had the perfect house I probably wouldn't be interested! Who puts lights on ladders? Magnolias. What a divine scent.Makeminemidcenturyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304535583168822160noreply@blogger.com
