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

{Update} Kitchen and Concrete Countertops
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.

{DIY} Coffee Table Play Top
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We flew out to Washington DC to visit my brother in-law. Jesse's family all flew out, so we were all able to spend it together.

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} Tiling the floor
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
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

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.
