Crowning Glory!!
OH MY GOSH I LOVE IT!!! Crown moulding is one of my favorite things! Today I FINISHED the crown in the clutter room and around the kitchen cabinets. It all needed to be painted just one last time. The pantry side of the clutter room. ...
Lovin’ It!
One thing about the new property that I really do like is all of the wildlife! I've never heard so many owls in one place at one time. I had to run home at lunch today and this is what I saw.... I bet you're wondering why I took a picture of a bunch of...
A Beautiful Day!
This morning we had a little delayed start. Kade's cousin is building a house (or should I say, having a house built - HE WAS SMART!!) and wanted some opinions on a few things. So we headed to his new house...this was our first time over there to see it...
The Progress Continues!
Jeremy came back today and finished up the crown moulding. We ended up being a couple pieces short, so he'll have to come back and finish that when we finally get them delivered. We've also decided to have him do the pocket doors, so he can just come back...
FINALLY!!!
A paint finish that I can live with!! That only took me what seems like 3 months!! I'm not even sure how long it's been because it has been SOOOO long! My new HVLP gun seems to have done the trick! That's good enough, right? You can't tell but...
Poly-POO!
Today I FINALLY got the polyurethane on the laundry room cabinets. I used Minwax water based wipe on poly...and let me tell you...I was not impressed. Usually water based poly is crystal clear (which is what I wanted since I painted the cabinets super...
A Rude Awakening!
That's right..I said RUDE!! March 24th and we wake up to snow, snow and more snow! It just kept coming down! I'm so ready for spring this year!! Look at it this morning! The snow was just giant flakes coming down at top speed. Of course we...
A Little of this and a Little of that!
Today we're all working on different projects! Kade and I are doing misc. stuff that needs to get done and Jeremy is back and installing crown moulding! Dad came over for a visit and had to see just how Jeremy does crown moulding.... I'm pretty sure he was...
Trim Painting
For months now all I've been thinking is HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO PAINT ALMOST 100 16' PIECES OF TRIM?? The task just seamed so daunting! I had to get a few pieces done for the laundry room and it seriously took me like 3 hours to do 4 pieces...and...
Door Day!
So Kade is off at a conference in Vegas and I am determined to keep the progress moving while he's gone. He left on Tuesday and will be back home around 10 o'clock tomorrow night. Sooooo...I've enlisted the help of an old friend to come out and paint all...
Cabinet Door Crazy!
Well the last few weeks have been trying that's for sure. I just can't seem to get a good coat of paint on these cabinet doors for the clutter room. Can you see those little bubbles? They are on every single cabinet door. SO IRRITATING!! So finally...
Our First Appliance!
That's right ladies and gentleman....our first appliance has been installed! Kade installed our new Whirlpool dishwasher today while I was working on cabinet doors! So exciting! We bought the Whirlpool Gold 24" Built In Energy Star Dishwasher (Model...
Glass Towel Bar Makeover
So it turns out we had TWO snow days instead of just one! That was quite the late February snow! I'd say we got about 6" total. There was a nice sheet of ice over the top so it was extra crunchy to walk on. Pretty yes, but I'm ready for spring...
Snow Day!
That's right, you read that correctly...WE'RE TAKING A SNOW DAY!! 🙂 It started snowing right around noon today and hasn't stopped yet! (Kade even got out of work at noon...and they NEVER do that!) We've probably got 4 or 5 inches so far! It's...
Clutter Room Backsplash
Happy Birthday to my hubby! 37, when did we get this old?? We did a little "lunch time" shopping today and looked for tile for the laundry room. Here's what we came home with. (actually a few more but they weren't even photo worthy) From looking at...
Nature Calls
Well, its been an interesting weekend around here! My sister came over to pick raspberries and she ended up finding a little snake! I'm not gonna lie...he's cute...but I'm probably NOT going to pick him up 🙂 HOWEVER... Look at this little guy!! HOW CUTE!...
Tile Sealed and Sink In
This is a step that you don't see when you're done...but you'll be glad that you did it! We used this on our last kitchen (well, an old version of this stuff) and we never had any trouble with our grout. With this kitchen being so light there was no...
Trimin’ it Out
Worked on some more trim work tonight! I finished painting those window aprons today so that we could go to town tonight!! Doesn't it look great? I'm so glad we went to the extra work (ha, I can say that now, lol) Sunroom trim is all up Dining Room...
