Welcome DIYers!
This is my online "scrapbook" to remember what we've achieved in our home...we purchased this home in November 2009 in Springfield, MO.

Honestly, this is not my dream home by any means...but I intend to make it dreamy!

Changes to our new cottage
We will be starting some remodeling finally...we are due to move in about 2 1/2 weeks. Mr. DD (my husband) is going two weeks early to get the work going and hopefully complete. New flooring throughout, knock down a wall or two, add French doors, and start priming the dreadful paneling.
We will live with the white carpet in the bedrooms by shampooing. The kitchen and bathrooms will be at the top of our list as funds allow. We've been purchasing furniture from estate sales and antique stores. I've given away lots of silly items that I don't want to take with me. Goodwill got a lot of my nic-nacs. Several friends purchased my larger furniture that I knew wouldn't go well in the new house.
I look forward to sharing out journey with you as we slowly but surely transform our 1970 ranch into our own Dogwood Cottage. I hope you'll join me as I choose paint colors and move furniture around. I plan on painting my dining set black, and some chairs. I'm sure it will be as ongoing a project as this little place has been.
