As ready as we’re going to be!
Well...the last 3 days have just flown by. Wednesday and Thursday were pretty nice, but Friday was cold and drizzly. (is that a word? drizzly? You know what I mean!) I can't believe my hibiscus is still looking so fabulous!! Friday Dad went and got some...
The Kitchen!
So we've GOT to get the flooring done in the kitchen, at least far enough so that we can install the island cabinets. The guy is coming from the cabinet company Saturday morning to help us with the install. There was a bit of an error in the cabinets that...
One Room Down!
With flooring that is....there's now one room that has the flooring down, lol. All I have to say after getting this room installed is that completing the rest of the house is going to take FOR-E-VER!! (Another movie quote, lol) I just LOVE how it looks...
No joke!!
OH MY GOSH!!! This has been such a frustrating day!!! I decided since the weather was decent that I should probably go ahead and sand the wooden countertops...after all...these boards are just regular 2x10's like you'd use as a floor joist! Here's an idea...
Dresser to Vanity….DONE…and more!
The hall bath vanity is finally DONE! Yeah! So, I couldn't quite get to the color that I was hoping for....in fact...it almost looks like it didn't absorb any stain at all...but I'm still happy with the way it turned out! I finished this while Kade...
Wooden Countertops!!
Let the wooden countertops begin!! This is the second time we've built these (we did them back in 2006 when we remodeled the kitchen in our current house...still have them...and still love them!) Maybe some day I'll remember and edit this post to add a...
Well…not entirely perfect…
Does anybody know what movie that is from? It's from the 90's...and I LOVE it, lol. So yesterday we got to walk on the tile job - and I got to really see what kind of job was done....and I'm not going to say that I love it. In fact...here is...
Another tile floor!! Yeah!
Oh my gosh...it's crazy how fast someone who lays tile all the time can actually get it done!! The guy was here by 8 and DONE by 3:30!! INSANE!! It would have taken me 3 days!! Tiling mess! See those cabinets on the right...those...
Tile, Toilets & Window Jambs
Here's the tile that we picked out for the clutter room/mudroom/half bath! I love that it looks like slate...but hopefully we won't have trouble with it flaking off like slate 😉 These are 13" square. We laid them out several different ways,...
An Oldie
Today my Dad comes rolling in in his truck honking the horn....IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RAIN!!! I look out and start running. He had been down at my Aunt & Uncle's and picked up an old cabinet that had belonged to my Great Uncle...and we're pretty sure it...
A Sticky Mess
We got all of the old window jambs pulled out from the sunroom now...talk about a mess! They used double stick tape....great for creating a seal... but also great for making a mess!! All of the new jambs are finished and just waiting to be put in! See that...
Laundry & Pantry Cabinets
Finally...a room that's actually looking like something! Today we installed the Laundry and Pantry cabinets in the clutter room! I still need to paint them white, but that doesn't have to happen now, lol. This is the room that we were able to...
Signs, Signs, Signs!
That's what I did today! 🙂 Gotta keep some of my favorite boys in business! (and do my "real" job I guess, lol) At least the weather was nice - not 104 when I put my last batch together! I think they look pretty nice! So we went tonight...
More Sunroom Fun
Finally I started to paint the sunroom. Because the pine is so knotty, I decided to use some B-I-N Primer first to try and block out those ugly yellow spots! You can see that the primer didn't really do a great job of covering, but it does appear to have...
Vanity Repair!
You remember that old dresser that I bought to turn into a vanity....well...I worked today on removing the "gunk" on that had built up under the mirror over the years. Was hoping that I could just blend the new finish into the old....but I'm not so sure that's...
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...
