Upside Down

Well, here we are upside down, inside out and just generally in a terrible mess.

Before my dad's death, Don and I discussed bringing my mom to live with us. So that's exactly what we have done. She did not want to stay in the condominium they lived in together ... it was quite large and too many memories.

So she will live with us and hopefully create some new memories here.

Don was working on the bathroom himself, but it was still without a toilet and vanity, so we've hired a contractor to get this done quickly.

So, here we are once again, in renovation "hell". The contractor ripped out the bulkhead above the shower Don installed in order to move the fan over. He put in a combination fan/light.

This is our living room with a few of Mom's things just piled up around the walls and on top of furniture. (This is only just a very small part of it.)

And here, is where my Mom is sleeping presently. We had to put a single bed in our office until the master suite (which we are giving to her) is completed. This will give her a room large enough to make a little sitting room and sleeping area and she will have the master bath for her exclusive use.

I think she will be quite comfortable and this gives her something to look forward to with decorating, choosing colours, new curtains, bedding and how to lay out her new room.

So soon, very soon I hope, we will be back to normal - that is if we ever were normal to start with (LOL).

We wanted to make our master bathroom elegant, so this is the vanity we have purchased. Mom just loves it and is quite excited about her new (oh-so-elegant) bathroom.
