the all finished basement..
So today is the day for the final reveal. The people are gone, the tools are gone, the dust has settled and been vacuumed up. Here’s is a little before and after to see how far this place has come. We’ve gone from darn, dingy and dismal…. ….to this. I’d add more adjectives but I’ll…
Read Morethe story of my laundry sink…
When we moved into this house two years ago we found a laundry sink already installed in the mudroom/laundry room. This wasn’t any old laundry sink. It was not the cement kind I had grown up with. It wasn’t the fiberglass kind that you see everywhere. This laundry sink is porcelain. The legs are cast…

So the flooring is officially going down. I love it. I wasn’t too excited that I was forced to change to another style of flooring but it actually really works well in that space. The difference is incredible. Everything else has been done for a little while, but once the floor went in it all…

Read Morea laundry room
pinterest I have some work and planning ahead of me since I now have a new laundry room. I’ve never had a dedicated laundry room before so I’m slightly excited! That is an understatement. In my first apartment the laundry was in the basement for everyone to use. It did come in handy since it…

In my previous home I had a blank wall in my kitchen next to the kitchen table. Using two curtain rods and clip rings I would hang my children’s artwork. I don’t have a clear shot of it so I’ll share some pictures I found online of the same idea. It was a great solution…
Read Moremy house smells like paint
That is a good thing, actually a great thing. After this comes the floor, some minor finish work like door knobs, handles, and my personal favorite, the barn door. Little happy dance going on for that one! Then we are done on that floor. Finished, finit, terminado, teliomeno, finito. The board and batten pattern, doors and all…
