A Grouting Fool
Had to start our day off with a little groundhog relocation. My Mom has had nothing but trouble with them this year...they want to eat EVERYTHING that she plants - RUDE! Of course, Dad just left for a week long trip, so Kade and I have taken on the...
Grout it Out!
Is this really how I wanted to start my day? Pull at the house to find my husband on the roof SWEEPING!?!? What a wierdo 🙂 After that little "event" we got straight to work....today was "grouting" day! Grout REALLY finishes up the project! See the "haze" on the...
Finishing Tiling
Another weekend...and it's time to tile again 🙂 Actually...we got quite a bit done today. First stop, laundry sink backsplash....here's the final layout that we decided to go with. Remind me again why I had to do something so difficult 🙂 First things...
A Big Arrival
UPS, UPS, my favorite!!! (sorry FedEx) Today we got our NEW clawfoot tub. Since we ended up not being able to use the old one that I had been saving for YEARS AND YEARS...I had to order a new one. Why didn't we just completely build a new...
Backsplash City!
It's like non-stop backsplash around here lately! Kitchen, clutter room and laundry! But we're just about done with all three! YEAH! Today I figured out which tile/pattern that we're going to use behind the laundry sink. Of course....it...
Another Backsplash
Today I figured out the backslash pattern for the clutter room and got to work! Who knew that I'd like marble so much?? Still not exactly sure what I'm doing behind the laundry sink....I'm going to have to think about that one a little more 🙂 Pattern all...
Exciting!
Tonight we finally got to go pick up our washer and dryer and new fridge that I bought in NOVEMBER & DECEMBER of 2012!!! Not kidding! Can't believe Sears let us keep them at the store for so long (Thanks, Sears!) So Mark & Jeff came and...
Kitchen Backsplash Time
FINALLY it's time to install the kitchen backsplash. We decided to go with a small subway tile. A simple style that is classic & classy. These little tiles are 2x4ish in side. They came on a sheet that worked out to be about a square foot...
A little more…but finally another decision made!
The window casing saga continues 🙂 This really shouldn't be so difficult! We tried some samples in the master bedroom today. Thought maybe a different view might make a difference, lol. Here it is with the square window apron. Here it is with...
Window Casing & More!
Why is it so difficult to come up with window & door casing?? I have searched and searched and searched some more looking for ideas for what we should do. Today we put together a couple different options with window aprons...and I'm still not sold on...

It’s All In The Details
Jeremy was back today and worked on finishing the crown moulding (since we were short) and he installed one of the pocket doors. First of all let me say...solid core pocket doors = HEAVY, lol. Oh my gosh, I didn't even think about how heavy they would...
Knobs & Pulls
I can't believe that I FINALLY got to install the hardware in the clutter room! WOO-HOO!!! Even this is quite a chore for me...mostly because I have to make yet ANOTHER decision 🙂 I ordered knobs and pulls MONTHS ago...o.k...probably a year ago!!...
The Hole Has Been Cut!
I can't believe it!! All of this time waiting and the day has finally come!! Kade cut the hole in the laundry sink countertop for the wash tub & pull out faucet! I realize that it's NOT a traditional sink! BUT OMG!! I LOVE IT!! We've still...
It’s NEVER going to end!
The painting that is....seriously....it's NEVER going to end! Today I set up our two pocket doors and the extra trim that we had to get in the basement, and sprayed, sprayed, sprayed the day away! Check out how much paint "dust" was in the air....yuck! That's...
The Bucket Truck
Yep, that's right, a bucket truck. That was the plan to get that pesky tree down that is hovering over the bedroom side of the house. This morning Dad, F and Kade did what they could to finally get that problem off of our mind. I know Kade was just...
MARS
Still no pictures of the house but we did do an install on a new sign that I designed tonight! Looks pretty darn good don't you think? I must add...it's really nice having a tall and handy husband 🙂 I don't know what I'd do without him!
Beautiful Barn
Another week of working but not much to show! The clawfoot tub is installed...just need to connect the cold water from the basement. (need to install the water spigot for outside under the sunroom before we can do that though). Maybe next week we'll have...
