Renovation Redecoration Project

This project is a renovation and redecoration of my mom’s older home in Calgary. It is badly in need of updating both on the exterior and the interior. This is a 4-level split with a large backyard—so there is a lot of work that needs to be done! As an interior designer, I have always wanted to work on my mom’s home and now that I am back living in the city, I will have a chance to do just that.

I am going to need a lot of help to get this project done with an extremely tight budget. I plan on featuring products that I use for this project here on my blog, and documenting my progress along the way.

Here are a few of the projects I’ll be working on:

  • Repainting main floor rooms
  • Replacing baseboards and adding crown moulding to at least 2 floors (mentioned above) Crown Moulding will be done shortly
  • Painting kitchen cupboards
  • Replacing kitchen cupboard pulls and handles
  • Repairing kitchen cupboards
  • Replacing toilet in main bathroom (DONE)
  • Replacing broken blinds with curtains or sheers
  • Putting in new 12″ cupboard next to dishwasher
  • Replace old main door lock/handle
  • ETC. So many things need to be done!

Here’s a video of the living room ‘before’ :

And, I would love to have a new kitchen faucet, bathroom faucet, etc. plus new rug and other decorative items as well. 
There is a lot of work that needs to be done outside, which will have to wait until next summer.
