Renovation Dreamer Mugs

"Our dream is to live long enough to see the end of our renovation."

'Forget what it looks like now. Think of what it will look like after you've put 10 years of loving care and back-breaking labor into it.'

'It's not exactly the Hamptons, but with a little work it could be livable.'

"I can't believe how great my life is now: We used to live in an apartment, but now, I have my own garden..."

"Enough with how great the public schools are. Just tell us – is there a Trader Joe’s nearby?"

'These elves sure are helpful around the house.'

"Yes, I know they fit, it's just not what I pictured for a three car garage!"

"This is a clever little shop. It makes you think it would be fun to own a lamp."

"Home depot."

"I'm starting to think stripes."

'Seriously!? ... Well it's apparent I didn't marry a handyman.'

'It's good of you to go out of your way to show me what not to do, Mum.'

"We needed to replace our kitchen floor and it kind of grew from there."

"The new house is almost ready!"

"Well, we're down to bare brick, natural wood, and raw nerves."

'OK, the worn out carpeting proves I snack too much. Only one thing to do. Tomorrow I get prices on hardwood floors.'

Gianni Tatti's Dining-Room Chair

'Workmate' bench helping DIY man "Left a bit"

"It's a miracle I was able to build this desk all by myself. I'm not so handy."

Cartoon showing a group snails, one has a large shell underneath him. Another snail, observing, says to his mate: "Another basement conversion.".

'Ever thought of having the place re-carpeted?'

'Is there a lady in the audience whose late husband says he never did put up that shelf?'

"We want it to look lived in, but not necessarily by us."

'Apart from his awful workmanship, my hubby's handy work is fine.'

'... And that's where I'm seeking planning permission to build a secret uranium enrichment plant...'
