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
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
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
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
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
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!!
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
