He, I'm OzBinky but I normally go by O.B.
I've been in my home a little on 18 years and during this time I have had some wonderful and terrible renovations.....
My most treasured renovation was and is my kitchen.....I began with a totally white kitchen, walls, cupboards and floor - I hated it - and transformed it on a budget of virtually nothing. I designed it and a carpenter friend built it for me. I tiled the kitchen benches and walls myself and had a great time doing it.
The cupboard doors and oven area were made from scrap pine. I used floor boards, shipping creates - anything I could lay my hands on...and I think I ended with up with a unique kitchen that is 100% creatively mine...and I'm proud of it the most because it was my first attempt at anything like this.....(looking for before and after photos but will put up recent pics for time being)
The worst, well....that was the on-suite toilet my husband decided to build me. In my built in wardrobe. Yup, you read that correctly...my wardrobe and yes a toilet. I should add here that my husband was critically ill and sadly his mind wasn't what it should have been for someone so young (36).
Although I was left with a bit of a disaster zone when he passed away, I do look back and have a bit of a chuckle at the renovations he attempted to do, did and half did....
I also get on my knees and look up to the heavens and ask why at times too.....
Oh, well...this is me, this is my story, my home and now my on going project....
Cheers
