Kammy’s Triple Whammy

There comes a point in any home renovation where the tasks ahead of you become so overwhelming, you feel you have only two options: arson or a one-way bus ticket to Canada.

Fortunately, there’s a third option that I didn’t tell you about yet: digging deep and finishing the job. Most people choose this option.

I’m sure Kammy toyed with the idea of ‘accidentally’ leaving ‘a couple’ candles burning at some point during her home’s extensive renovation, but she is not a criminal or crazy, so she did no such thing.

Instead, when faced with this dismal scene masquerading as a dining room, she pushed past the dust and rubble and saw her vision to completion.

Are you hearing Joey Lawrence say “Whoa!” in your head right now too? From the windows to the walls, everything in here looks fantastic. And you’ll never believe what that massive window seat used to look like…

Let’s go out back and I’ll show you.

There, in the top of the barn? Do you see it?  Here, let’s pull it down.

That’s it! An old wooden walkway taken from the rafters of the barn and repurposed with the help of Kammy’s dad into the extra long one-of-a-kind window seat it is today.

 

She only paid $25 for this thing! You could make it too, if you happen to have a barn full of parts worth scavenging on your property.  If not, don’t feel bad. I don’t have a magic barn either.

Last one, this thing is my faaaaaavorite.

Kammy’s house used to have a wall right smack dab in the middle of the sun room and the dining room. Kammy planned to tear it down to a half-wall and build a barble instead.

“Lindsey,” you are thinking, “that was a major typo. What is a ‘barble?’ Surely you didn’t mean to type that. Get it together girlfriend.”

Oh but I HAVE it together! I DID meant to type barble, because that is what you get when you combine a bar and a table, and that’s exactly what Kammy created here. The dining room on the left is sunken down a step from the sun room, so it’s bar height on one side and table height on the other and awesomeness all around.

Kammy is Captain Creativity! So much more to see on her blog, head on over there the get the entire view at Kammy’s Korner.
