Get ready for a whole lot of crazy! You may have heard, I'm sure the internet was buzzing. The dimensions of the upstairs bathroom are changing. The contractor wanted to make some changes, for easier framing, and we are gaining about 25 square feet. Which is great. IT IS! But it changes the decisions I've made … Continue reading Bathroom Vanity Crazy
While out house is completely out of commission Like WAY out of commission, we are in a small 3rd floor 2 bedroom apartment, and I am fantasizing hardcore about our deck. Most importantly to be able to just open a door and kick the kids outside, or wander around the yard in the early morning with … Continue reading DIY : Outdoor Storage Bench
I'm going to call this series "A Design Investigation." It's a deep dive into very specific design problems, comparing photo after photo, to get the proof needed to say, "Yes, that will work!" Does that come across sarcastic? If not, it's supposed to :) I think with the exception of carpet and exterior colors, most of … Continue reading A DESIGN INVESTIGATION : Bathroom Vanity Hardware
We have this little upstairs attic space. Pre-kids, which would be about 5 years ago, it was a great little tv spot. The Lucy came along. It was still a great tv spot, but in addition it became a drop zone. Everything that needed to be cleared out from downstairs made it's way upstairs...to sit...and … Continue reading Upstairs Master Room Makeover
We've been in the middle of this big bedroom shuffle. Jesse and I are in the upstairs on our mattress on the floor. Turns out the box spring doesn't fit, so we will have to deal with that when we come to it. Funny how what use to be a priority is anything but. I … Continue reading {Better Remade} Lucy’s New Bed
It's amazing to me after putting so much time into creating a room how quickly it can be undone. I spent hours and hours working on putting our bedroom together. I hung a full wall of curtains to block the window in order to center the bed. I definitely a center and balance kind of … Continue reading A Room Undone
Our house was listed as having an "in kitchen eating nook." It makes me laugh, it was basically a section of counter without cabinets. It was an odd space. This photo is obviously an after, but you get the idea of the space I was working with :) I had come to the realization that … Continue reading {DIY} Rolling Kitchen Cart
Where have I been? I've been here...just building a deck. This was a long process. Jesse and I only have Sundays to work on house projects, and then maybe are able to squeeze in an evening now and then. And during the week, I only have 2 days of nap time. So this deck building … Continue reading {Our Deck} It’s been a long 3 months!
We are about 70% of the way through out deck. We have all the joists in and are working on the stair treads. They have become a huge pain. It's been so tempting to stop the stairs where they are, but I just keep envisioning full steps down to the yard...I keep having to remind … Continue reading Help! DIY Emergency!
Last week Apartment Therapy did a post on DIY concrete counter tops. I saw the article, and embarrassingly enough I glanced at it a few times when it would pop up in by FB feed, and on the third day I saw this: That's right, do you see the little mini tile on the lower … Continue reading The Spring Going-ons
