I’ve been a terrible blogger lately, in large part because we recently bought a very dilapidated summer cabin on a pond, and have spending every spare moment on not-very-fun DIY projects. But, the transformation has been amazing. In the first nine days, we went from this: (well, most of the furniture and stuff had been removed by the time we got it, but still…)
To this:
Can you believe that floor was hiding under old linoleum and carpet? We just cleaned it well and polyurethaned it.
And, we have my son’s 7th birthday party coming up on Saturday, so I am scrambling to get all my little crafty projects done for that. I hope to have lots to share next week, including a give-away, so stay tuned!
In the meantime, I was at Petco this week _ and was startled to see Martha Stewart products. For a second, I thought maybe she had branched out to craft supplies for pets. I wasn’t so much surpised by the by the plush doggie beds, etc… but by this:
REALLY? Martha Stewart brand dog waste bags?
Though I guess I should not poke fun. I was there to buy a cat pheremone diffuser. Yes. It’s like a plug-in air freshener, except it emits cat pheremones. We’re having a little issue with our blind cat, Tangerine, not using her litterbox. (Nothing to do with her being blind… she used it without trouble for the first six months we had her.) Her vet recommended this diffuser, which is supposed to calm your cats and get them to use their litterboxes. We’ll see.
Good thing she’s so cute. (with her belly shaved for her inconclusive-yet-expensive ultrasound, trying to stowaway in a bag of clothes I was taking to the camp)
Cute kitty!
I can’t believe that before-and-after transformation! Amazing!!!
What a cute kitty! Hopefully the pheromone diffuser works!
oh wow that cabin is stunning and the floor was a great hidden treasure!
Wow great transformation! I can’t wait to see what you do next! My sister used a diffuser for her cat and it worked when the cat and diffuser were in a smaller space.
Wow, what an amazing cabin now!!
I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but there is an AMAZING book called “Homer’s Odyssey” by Gwen Cooper about her blind cat Homer. I am not a huge reader and I just ate the book up (I’ve got no ties to Gwen or the publisher, I just REALLY loved the book!). I thought maybe you’d like to check it out 🙂
Congratulations on your recent acquisition!!! How exciting for you and your family. It is an amazing transformation thus far, those floors are lovely. You must be exhausted! I hope you will share more photos! and I do hope the birthday party preparation and actual celebration goes well.
Wow! I would never have guessed the two pictures were of the same place. What fun to be fixing up a camp, and to find such amazing floors. I’d love to see follow up photos.
I am so envious of your new little cabin! Sweet. Your kitty is pretty sweet, too.
[…] above normal for this time of year!) that we have been dreaming a lot about returning to the summer cabin we bought last year. We bought it at the end of August so didn’t really get to enjoy it last […]
