The Guy nixed half the bedroom inspiration. I had done all the prep work, all he had to do was tell me which of the three options he liked the most. I don't think he quite understood his role in the mission to redo the master bedroom/bath. Or maybe h [Read More]

On Memorial weekend we decided to move our bedroom downstairs until my foot gets better (I have achilles tendonitis and it's flared up again, this time more painful then ever before). We have a small bedroom downstairs which we have used for storage [Read More]

Phase 0 is all the things we are doing to make the house comfortable for us in the short term. This includes cleaning out all the crap that the people left behind, immediate maintenance needs, and making changes that make living here in the short te [Read More]

Well, my previous slow progress on the master bedroom may have saved me in the long run. The walls stayed unfinished so long that when I was ready to start sanding the seams I noticed that they were cracked or cracking. What in the world had ha [Read More]

In the final push to get the upstairs habitable (and CLEAN!) before the baby arrives, my mom is coming over today to paint the trim in the office. Tony put up the sheetrock in our bedroom, so as soon as he tapes and muds, that room will be ready for [Read More]

As of Friday evening the office is officially ready for paint.  It is nearly primed (Shayne just needs to cut in around the trim), and my mom is coming over tomorrow to help with the "real" painting.  Then we'll paint the trim (don't w [Read More]

Gotta love waking up to this in the morning:Sadly, this is progress.  That's gotta be the worst part of home "improvement" for me; you almost always make things worse before you make them better.  Tony should be by sometime next week to pat [Read More]

I certainly wasn't looking for trouble, well okay...maybe I was bored. So, as my post title suggest, it all started innocent enough. In my bedroom, the walls are covered with a nasty texture. While textured walls is a pet peeve of mine, at least h [Read More]

The impossible has happened; I finally finished the sheetrock. I had planned to finish this long ago, but last week was been entirely wasted thanks to an allergic reaction followed by a case of food poisoning. Thanks Taco Bell, I really needed to sp [Read More]

I'm not finished with the front bedroom yet, but the end is in sight. The room is mudded and half of the final sand is done. Unfortunately, my progress has been held up by an allergic reaction to a new face wash. I'm recovering, but all the Benadr [Read More]

Progress on the bedroom continues, but pictures will not be posted for a few more days . Everything is taped and waiting for the top coat of mud. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to texture and really start feeling like we are getting somewhere. [Read More]

So day five is really day six since the project started. Yesterday my knees were still suffering the effects of crawling around on joists for two nights so I took the night off. Today, greatly recharged by the down time, I accomplished the followi [Read More]

The attic wiring is finally done...for this bedroom at least. It should have taken about an hour to run the wires. But then the ghost of owners past entered the picture. Four hours later I finally descended from the attic. Two nights of crawling [Read More]

The title says it all. After running around town buying supplies and groceries, I found myself climbing into the attic at 8:30. It's the first time I've been in this attic. The access is small, but so am I. The hard part is getting the five gall [Read More]

Day two of work on the bedroom is just about over and the room is looking a little worse every day. We need access to the old outlets so we can run new wires and pull out the old ones. Rather than replace all the sheetrock, I decided to remove jus [Read More]

div style="text-align: center;"During our last remodel we consistently had a half-dozen projects going at the same time. We didn't have a whole lot of choice about the matter; the house was completely ripped apart when we moved in. When we started [Read More]

A few weeks ago, I promised to post some photos of recent additions to Chloe’s bedroom. I’ve always felt badly that Ginger’s arrival prevented us from finishing Chloe’s room, so one of my resolutions for the new year is to rem [Read More]

For a (long) while our master bedroom has stumped me as far as decor goes. It's a very odd room due to the severe roof slopping (gotta love Cape Cods!). Also, our bed has somewhat ornate elements on the headboard so putting something above it has bee [Read More]
