Remodel Weekend
This post may contain affiliate links which won’t change your price but will share a commission.We have been spending the weekend in LeClaire, Iowa for a remodel weekend helping our friends build a storage room. I brought a couple of gifts…….
The Pinwheel Runner is on their dining room table, the Sunflower Tablerunner is on a little table next to it and the little Mini Runner is in the kitchen.
They live along the Mississippi River up on a bluff and have a beautiful view of the river. There is even an island right across from them and Port Byron, Illinois is on the opposite side of the river.
Better view of the island.
Builder Bob doesn’t have time to look at the river….see these neat office cabinets…..they are going home with us for a new sewing room idea that he has.
Cabinets are out, the carpet pulled back, and building the storage room begins. Does anyone ever have enough room to store everything??
Walls are going up, the guys are doing a great job!
They took a little break – munching popcorn – I couldn’t resist snapping a picture.
Ann is sooooo excited to have shelves and a storage room!
Sheetrock is up! That’s enough for one weekend.
The posts were left long as they will be removed when the tile is laid, then cut to the correct size and replaced. The sheet-rock has to be mudded, painted, a door installed, and trim put up – another weekend.
It is so nice to have high-speed internet! I snapped a pic of myself in the dining room mirror. You can see the river behind me through the tinted shades.
They have some woods to the side of them and I love the split rail fence. Tomorrow I get to sew!
Lucky you to get sew many new-to-you cabinets. Can't wait to see what Builder Bob does with them!
I think I see my Dad's house there in Port Byron! Hi Daddy (accept he is in TX with my brother right now so Hi Sister) I think I need me a Builder Bob! LOL I love my Honeyman and he can save your life…. but DO NOT put a hammer or a powertool in his hand or disaster will strike!!! LOL Sounds like a VERY productive weekend!!!
Wonderful post! Your husband works very quickly. We are finishing our basement and my husband is making a storage room but now I really have to make sure that he puts built-in shelving in it!! I am sure your friends loved their gifts – they are so pretty.
Wow! Pretty view, home & love the storage room!
You need to cross the boarder & come up a bit north & we'd love to have you & Mr. Builder Bob!
We could sew/quilt & the men I feel sure will have no trouble finding a project….we have many!
She sure was blessed with your lovely lil-gifts!
have a great week!
Blessings~

you guys had a busy weekend….and love the gifts that you took with you. Storage room is going to look great…and those cabinets you took home;; nice!!
I thought you were remodeling your kitchen at first… Mine is getting a mold and water damage clean up and rebuild… so that's where my mind goes. Love that your's is a sewing room. Make sure we see the finish. I can't wait.
Hugs!
Fabulous view and what I wouldn't give for that storage!!!
Your friends have a glorious view! I'd love that big time! I immediately thought of home canned veggies and fruits for some reason when I saw the storage room. So true…never enough storage!
Looks like you guys had a busy week-end!
Great view!!! Looks like you all had a good time.. along with lots of work…can't wait to see what Builder Bob does with those cabinets for your sewing room!
Have a great Thanksgiving!
