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”
Project: Exterior Shutters
This post will show you how much of an amateur do-it-yourself-er I really am. (Well, if you hadn’t already picked up on it from the previous post.) I had dreams of black shutters and a black door to compliment the cream siding at the new house. The faded forest green color made the house lookContinue reading “Project: Exterior Shutters”
Project: Brass Removal Has Commenced
When we bought our house there was brass everywhere. EVERYWHERE. The door knobs, hinges, light fixtures, on and on and on. It had to go. Almost nothing more clearly says “I’m outdated” like shiny, early 90’s brass. Let’s talk for a moment about what we’ve already done. The house had curry yellow walls nearly everywhere,Continue reading “Project: Brass Removal Has Commenced”
