I'm at a bit of a pause on the kitchen. I laid out a bunch of options (here) that I was trying to decide between, and haven't completed my decision making yet. I've finished the wall color, but have yet to do the cabinets. I did what I always do...I narrowed down my top 2 … Continue reading {Update} Kitchen and Concrete Countertops

I made progress last week. Well, the past few weeks. 2 weeks ago I did all the tiling, grouting, and sealing. This week I painted.

{Kitchen} DIY Concrete Countertop
So after finishing tiling the bathroom floor, I was on a tiling high and thought it'd be a good idea to keep up the momentum and get going on the kitchen.

{Phase 1} Tiling Complete
We have completed phase 1 of our bathroom renovation. Actually, I don't know if I can call it a renovation...maybe more of a facelift. The tiling and tub restoration is complete! I don't know why we didn't do this sooner! Now though, I am annoyed that I have to cover it up with a shower … Continue reading {Phase 1} Tiling Complete
Bathroom Tiling: Any Good Advice?
The best thing happened a few months ago! Jesse turned to me and said, "What house projects would you like to do this spring?" It was like music to my ears! It may have backfired a little because I gave him a list of what I've been thinking about for each room in the house. … Continue reading Bathroom Tiling: Any Good Advice?
