{Update} Kitchen and Concrete Countertops

January 13, 201410 Comments

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

{Kitchen} Cabinet Colors and Off Topic Fencing

October 9, 2013October 9, 20135 Comments

You can scroll through my ramblings and photos - but I need advice at the end! A few years ago this was my dream kitchen inspiration. And this is where I am now: I'm still very much in love with my original inspiration, along with these: {the marion house book} {house and home} {house and … Continue reading {Kitchen} Cabinet Colors and Off Topic Fencing

{Kitchen} Subway Tile Backsplash

September 30, 2013September 30, 20136 Comments

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.  Though I am not finished with the walls, I have to take a small break while I collect my thoughts and ideas.  And because our next two weeks are devoted … Continue reading {Kitchen} Subway Tile Backsplash

{Kitchen} DIY Concrete Countertop

September 18, 2013January 13, 201417 Comments

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.  We have a great kitchen - I like the blue, but don't LOVE it.  And I LOVE the subway tile in the shower.  Unfortunately … Continue reading {Kitchen} DIY Concrete Countertop

{Bathroom} Tile Floor Finished!!

August 19, 20135 Comments

Let me just start by saying...this went VERY well!  I'm nervous to take each step for fear of the unknown.  I had a bunch of extra materials incase I had to rip out the sub floor and rebuild...but I didnt!  And I as able to screw down a brand new toilet flange without any modifications.  … Continue reading {Bathroom} Tile Floor Finished!!

{Bathroom} Tiling the floor

July 29, 2013August 15, 2013Leave a comment

It's now been 4 months since tiling the bathroom tub surround. It definitely improved the look of our bathroom, but the job wasn't complete.  We still needed to redo the floors.  I went around in circles trying to figure out what to do.  I was a little worried about tile because it's an older home, … Continue reading {Bathroom} Tiling the floor

Chalkboard Gallery Wall

May 20, 20131 Comment

This project took a bit longer than anticipated.  But again, doesn't it always.  I started a long post on what I did...But then I just decided to skip it and just say tada!  It's done. I put hardboard up, painted 2 coats, sanded it, then painted another coat...boom!  Then I framed it.  Then we both … Continue reading Chalkboard Gallery Wall

It’s been done to death…but I’m going to do it anyway!

May 8, 20136 Comments

I know, I know...I'm totally late on the game on this!  I think chalkboard walls may have been done to death.  But I have not done one, so let's say it is new to me! :)  This is the latest photo I have of the dining room.  I don't know what I am doing with … Continue reading It’s been done to death…but I’m going to do it anyway!

{Phase 1} Tiling Complete

March 23, 20135 Comments

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?

March 5, 20131 Comment

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?
