Project: The Making of a Mudroom – Part I

We’ve busy around here! Can’t wait to share this next project with you. This is one that I have to say was a special project for me. With the laundry room relocated to the other side of the house (earlier posts), it left the old space next to the garage vacant. So… I get aContinue reading “Project: The Making of a Mudroom – Part I”

Project: New Pantry/Laundry Room – Part III

We are a classic case of DIY-ers who believe they provided enough time for a home project, but…didn’t. We have had this project going on for a few weeks now, working on some of it full-time using vacation days after the holidays, and then after work and on weekends. However, excited to share the finalContinue reading “Project: New Pantry/Laundry Room – Part III”

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 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”
