Oh, I'm so excited to be here! I've been wanting to start this blog for weeks, and now I'm taking action steps to do it! Funny how a house remodel will get you to start doing things...
Hi, I'm Kim, and I'm renovating a lakehouse home I inherited from my dad. My grandfather built the house in 1964. I only met him twice, so as I take the house apart and see how he did things, I can get to know him this way. It became our family's vacation spot, to visit Gram, starting when I was six years old. I can still remember the first time I came around the corner of the house and saw the gardens and lake beyond -- I was enchanted. Growing up in Los Angeles, this wilderness lake cabin in western Washington was paradise.
My parents moved into the house 25 years ago. Now that they have both passed, the house comes to me. I am SO blessed to have received such a gift. The house is sturdy; Grandpa was a solid builder. Sensible, but without a lick of style. Oh, how I plan to change all that!
Similarly, I am at a place of transformation. I am poised at the spot of taking hold of my career and wealth path, and reinventing my sense of health and vigor. Coming into my own, finding a new sense of style and renovation. I would love to have you join me along this journey!
The renovation in earnest began 17 days ago, after two years of planning, dreaming, sketching, and researching. So there will be a sense of "catch-up" about lovely discoveries I've made so far (front page newspapers under the linoleum, my grandfather's footsteps in the dust under the house, my grandmother's fuchsia baskets, pruning a garden border as metaphor, etc.) until I'm blogging in 'real time'. Ooo, I can't wait! More soon!
