Baseboard & Spraying Cabinet Doors
Kade worked on trim yesterday and today....it's so awesome. It's amazing how finished that makes things look. At this point he can only do walls that don't have a door on them though (because I don't have the door casing painted yet). So he's got...
Furniture Moulding
First of all...Happy Valentines Day! I know you're all thinking...well, furniture moulding isn't a very exciting way to spend Valentines Day...but I'd have to disagree (to some degree.) We got all of the furniture base moulding in and I went around and...
FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY!
The day has SERIOUSLY REALLY COME!!! The hardwood flooring upstairs is DONE!! Amazing! It looks so awesome too. We've covered up most of the main floor we walk on with a product called eucaboard - and I can not wait until the day we get to...
Too Much Left
Sooooo close! Just closets and edges of the flooring....aaaahhhhh! 🙂 We took a break from the flooring today though and installed a couple more doors (closet and half bath) and figured out the furniture moulding trim for the clutter room. Middle...
LAST ROW!
Finally, it was time to put the first coat of paint on the cabinet boxes. I worked on that today while Kade was at work. They're lookin' better already! You can't even see where any of my nail holes are, lol. Coverage is not quite as good as I had...
Cabinet Detail
Finally I got that little detail piece up and over the seam on the cabinets and got it all caulked and primed. It's looking better now. It was pretty bad with all of the nail holes and filler showing. 🙂 This will be above the w/d and the open shelving...
Dang Closet Doors! (and more floor)
I never thought it would be so hard to do EVERY job in this house...and lots of them all at the same time, lol. HELLO! I'm not exactly sure how I thought this was going to go. We've gotten quite a bit farther on the flooring. Just about done...
Super Cute (half bath)
This may end up being one of the cutest half baths ever! Maybe I'm just partial because it's my design...but there's something about it that I just love. I worked on caulking the baseboard in there today. Kade got the sink/vanity all put...
Floor to Ceiling
You had to know by now that I couldn't just leave the cabinets alone 🙂 on the laundry side of the clutter room the cabinets were 93" tall and on the pantry side they were only about 90" tall. Because I love the look of "built in" cabinets, we...
Cabinet Doors
Here we go...I'm afraid it is going to take me FOREVER to get all of the cabinet doors painted for the clutter room. There's something different about this time. I've painted cabinets a few times, but for some reason I'm much more nervous about doing it...
The Harmans 35th Anniversary with Dailey & Vincent
Tonight was another break night - when I'm typing this it seems like we have them a LOT more often then we actually do, lol. Our friends, The Harmans celebrated 35 years tonight with their annual Bluegrass concert at Hatheway Hall at Lewis & Clark Community...
I Did It!
There's no going back now! Primer coat is ON! It would be fabulous if at this point I could just snap my fingers and the cabinet boxes and cabinet doors would magically be painted 🙂 I vacuumed and wiped all of the dust up with a tack cloth. Everything is...
The Day Has Come
That's right...say goodbye to the hickory stained cabinets and hello to the WHITE clutter room. I know for some of you this is like a major sin...but my vision was always to have a crisp clean clutter room. I finally broke out the sandpaper today and got...
Trying Again!
Check out that fabulous under cabinet lighting!! AWESOME!! Unfortunately I threw away the first transformer that we bought (oops, thought it was an old power cable that was dead!) and then we realized that we bought the wrong color of lighting strips! So...
OMG!! THIS IS HUGE!!!
No seriously, this is the FIRST toilet that we've got installed and functioning!! It's only been 12 months since we started working on the house 🙂 Thank goodness we currently live SO close! Look at it! It's got water and everything! A...
Don’t Forget Your Apron
Your window apron that is! Just look at 'em all! We actually put them together over a few days...and today I worked on filling holes and caulking their joints so I can get them painted. Exciting! This will be the finishing piece of trim for all of...
Tedious to say the least!
Well, right now it seems like I'm in one of those places where you work non-stop and you NEVER see any results! I've been filling holes and caulking trim. UGH! I tried to work "around" the clawfoot tub...ha!I was squeezed in there sideways in some...
Another Finishing Touch
Sanded caulk! Yep....that's right...sanded caulk. Color matched to your grout color...and it is AWESOME!! 🙂 I am quite fond on caulk anyway...but caulk to match your grout...even better! Behind the stove.....DONE! Kitchen...
