I’ve been working on my house a tiny bit at a time pretty much since we have moved in. You might recall my little cabinet experiment from a few months back where I tried to figure out what to do w/ my 1979 cabbies. Rather than removing the countertops, sink, and appliances which is a […]
So this is probably going to be a long one. But it’s been a long time coming so I’m VERY excited about it! I finally put my money where my mouth is and bought an investment property. A little back story: I bought my first house, fixed it up and sold it. I didn’t make […]
Ok this project happened a while back but I love it so much that I have to share it on here too. So. The ever present problem with kitties is where to put the litter box. Luckily, we have plenty of space in our laundry room in the basement so it’s pretty far away from our […]
Hi. So I’ve been a little strange lately. I wouldn’t say out of sorts but kind of like, what do I do with myself now? Don’t get me wrong, I love selling houses still. But now that I’ve hit my initial big goal of paying off my student loans (WOOOHOOO!!!!), it feels like I need […]
I’m not a fan of carpet. I like wood. And of course, being built in 1979, we don’t have any cool old floors hiding underneath our house full of carpet. So I’m putting in hardwood. Which is a BIG commitment and a tough decision. I thought about this one for at least six months. I checked […]
This is one that pretty much everyone will have to do at some point. You don’t have to be good at it, but you’ve gotta get it done. This is my third time doing a tub so I’m a bit better than I used to be but I’m no caulking pro, that’s for sure. I’ll […]
I’ve had spring fever for so long now that it has turned into full blown summer fever. I have projects oozing out my ears but it’s really not warm enough to do any/many of them yet. So today I took the 2 hours of warmth without wind/rain/sn*w that we’ve been having lately and spray painted […]
As you know, we bought a new house this summer. We’ve been busy, but not really with the making-it-cute kind of projects, mostly with the boring-but-necessary kind of projects like installing smoke detectors, an insinkerator, light fixtures that my 6’5″ husband won’t hit his head on, getting the toxic sludge removed from our water, replacing […]
Lots has happened this year, along with selling our townhouse and buying a real big grown up house in the ‘burbs, we are having a baby! In Jan! It’s quite exciting. But also, we have been so busy with all of this other nonsense that I haven’t put a ton of thought into what to […]
I needed a new table for the new house. My old one is white. And the whole house is white. And that is too much for me. Also, it’s just ever so slightly too large for this space and made walking around it a challenge. A friend of mine was selling this table on FB […]
