Project: New Pantry/Laundry Room – Part I

Gettin’ All HGTV in Here: Turning Existing Rooms into New Functional Spaces

After much contemplation and more than a little convincing and vision-casting on my part, we have decided to take on two big projects this winter. Both will use existing spaces in our house and turn them into something completely different. The first and biggest project will be turning our now-dining room into two new spaces:Continue reading “Gettin’ All HGTV in Here: Turning Existing Rooms into New Functional Spaces”

Project: Front Landscaping and Avoiding Embarrassment

Our front landscaping was something of a jungle. There were overgrown rose bushes that looked like they had been a part of some sort of lab experiment they were so large and so strong. There was a plethora of weeds, half-dead plants, and who knows what else in there. (Probably some scary eight-legged creatures-which myContinue reading “Project: Front Landscaping and Avoiding Embarrassment”

Project: Pink Bathroom Reno – Part III

We are finally in the home stretch of our bathroom remodel and I must say, we’re ready to be done with it! Final steps include tearing down the old wallpaper border, mudding and taping the new drywall in the areas surrounding the shower where we had to take it down due to the old tileContinue reading “Project: Pink Bathroom Reno – Part III”

Project: Pink Bathroom Reno – Part II

Do you ever say to yourself, after starting a house project, “Wow, this is taking a lot longer than I thought it would?” I’m thinking that right now. It’s definitely fair to say that our pink bathroom update project is taking a long time. In all fairness, the bathroom is right next to the kiddo’s room, soContinue reading “Project: Pink Bathroom Reno – Part II”

Project: Pink Bathroom Reno – Part I

As I’ve mentioned before, when we selected this house we knew it was going to be work. But I have to tell you, with both of us working full-time, the presence of a (super cute but super active) kiddo, and needing downtime like normal people, it takes awhile for our projects to get finished –Continue reading “Project: Pink Bathroom Reno – Part I”

Project: The Kitchen Update – Part II

Black Friday is a very exciting time for me. I have so much fun looking at the sales and get a flutter in my heart when I see how discounted some items can be. It’s the perfect time to purchase something you’ve wanted or needed but didn’t want to pay full price and I loveContinue reading “Project: The Kitchen Update – Part II”

Project: The Kitchen Update – Part I

Well our son’s birthday came and went and unfortunately we had to host his party at our new house. I say “unfortunately” because we had planned for it be outside, and had hoped that the first time people saw our new place things would be more in order. I had to let go of all myContinue reading “Project: The Kitchen Update – Part I”

Project: The Half Bath

One of the first projects I completed by myself was the half bath update. There was a very unattractive, discolored vanity top that was pulling away from the walls, an over-sized plain sheet of mirror that somehow had gashes in it, a horrendous brass and fluted glass light fixture (with chunks of glass missing), moreContinue reading “Project: The Half Bath”

Project: Front Door Refresh

I am fortunate to have someone in my family who is super detail-oriented and who has, over the years, acquired a fair amount of painting skill. That person is my mother – who paints something in her house every year, I’m convinced. But her house looks lovely. When I mentioned I wanted to paint myContinue reading “Project: Front Door Refresh”
