Okay y’all, this is going to be the shortest post in the history of Tranquil Domesticity, but I’m trying to prep for a few days away—including away from working on my projects and the blog! I have not had time to do both the DIY work and write out flowery prose like you’re used to 😂, so it’s just going to be a few photos and a brief update on the ongoing “Kelly Cottage room-at-a-time, impossibly-low-budget redos.”
Progress report
I have been hard at work fashioning my new desk out of a hollow core door and a section of upper kitchen cabinets, and more than anything I’ve learned how woefully short of sufficient power tools I am. …And that I may be related to MacGyver!! (Don’t act like you didn’t sometimes watch that cheesy show from the 80’s!).
I will go more in-depth on future posts, but we’ll just sum it up for now by saying my biceps are getting stronger from using hand-saws, and I’m glad I saved all that miscellaneous hardware from over the years. Oh!— and once again, NOTHING is level or square in a 100-year-old house!
On to the photos:
That’s it for this post! I told you it would be a short one! I still have quite a bit of work left to do (it doesn’t all show in the picture!), but hopefully you can see the office beginning to take shape.
Stay tuned for Part 3!
Blessings,
