Adventures In Retro Renovating. Sunday, March 23, 2014. Hellooooo out there. My sincere apologies for disappearing off this blog. You may know, I stay home with my two kids and life is b.u.s.y. even though they aren't in school or doing any extra curriculars. I also haven't been doing much around the house except trying to keep it clean. Clean means something different to everyone. Two small kids can create a tornado. I really dislike housework. There I've admitted it. She recognized my house from my pic...

Adventures In Retro Renovating. Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Cabbage: you are a vegetable I have grown to love in life. You are so versatile; so tasty.

Adventures In Retro Renovating: Bye wall!
http://retrorenoadventures.blogspot.com/2015/04/bye-wall.html
Adventures In Retro Renovating. Sunday, April 5, 2015. The first wall is gone! Part of the wallpaper wall is gone too :( But so is the green carpet, which we freecycled! Those old tiles get their last chance to shine before they are ripped out. And, the oven has been delivered! Because we bought the floor model, they couldn't hold it for longer than a month so it will be chilling out in the front room for a little while. I can't wait to cook in it.

Adventures In Retro Renovating. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. So I haven't been updating regularly because we have been so damned busy! Currently, we have all drywall up in the kitchen! But first. lets talk demo! Before we started, our new kitchen was the rec room, and now it is almost a kitchen again! Greg took out ALL the old plaster, and we had some interesting discoveries. We taped out the layout to get an idea of how it would look. Bye bye carpet. Nice to see you again, original tiles! Then, Greg built ...

Adventures In Retro Renovating: Potato Salad
http://retrorenoadventures.blogspot.com/2015/06/potato-salad.html
Adventures In Retro Renovating. Wednesday, June 3, 2015. My mom always made this amazing potato salad. It was a dish people always chose for her to make for picnics, weddings, etc (besides the cabbage rolls. And now I make it too. I thought I would add the recipe here for all to see and share. It is in no way a "healthy light" potato salad but so what who cares? White flesh potatoes (new, red, russet). Hard boiled eggs (reserve one for garnish). Green (or red, yellow, or orange) pepper. Holiday Ho Ho Whoa.

Adventures In Retro Renovating: Electrictal work can be fun. Or it can suck
http://retrorenoadventures.blogspot.com/2015/07/electrictal-work-can-be-fun-or-it-can.html
Adventures In Retro Renovating. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Electrictal work can be fun. Or it can suck. I'm not going to go into many details here because it isn't very interesting, but let's just say that some of the old wiring in this house, done by the old owner, was not in good shape nor to code. Greg has since fixed that, and our ESA inspection went great. That the family got me for my birthday up on the shelf! I pinned a bunch of pics of stoves under windows on my Pintrest board here. The vent is by...

Adventures In Retro Renovating: Painting the outside of my house
http://retrorenoadventures.blogspot.com/2015/07/painting-outside-of-my-house.html
Adventures In Retro Renovating. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Painting the outside of my house. So, I feel that red and red tones were a favourite of the old owners. I have spent countless hours stamping out all traces of this in my home, and outside of my home. I had but a few pieces left as of late. I took it upon myself to get out my paint brush. Mostly this had great results :). First up is the fence/gate. A work in progress. I have since painted the 4x4s as well. it looks so much better! Anyways. th...
