Disaster Bathroom…Help Needed!

OK, so it’s not that bad.  It’s “Blah”.  I could easily make it “Look” awesome enough.  The problem is that the tub placement is upsetting my living room plan and I JUST CAN’T GET PASSED IT! That tub…right…there! It just needs to be 8″ closer...

There’s a bathtub in my living room

I raised the doorway no problem and then started in on the coat closet and realized the back wall seemed too shallow. So I punched a hole (with a hammer) and discovered a bathtub! No joke!  ”They” installed the shower/tub where you see the yellow line!  I always wondered about the odd extra...

Garage Workshop Cabinets

My Garage Workshop is Done!  (For the most part.  I say that a lot don’t I?)  This has been an on again off again project.  I started it on my Master Closet “down time” (while paint was drying and I was waiting for hardware to arrive) so it’s been in the works for months and can I...

They Say it Gets Worse Before it Gets Better!

I can attest to that!  I’m making progress in my workshop.   But it’s looking a lot like it did before I started the project. It just has cabinets now.  I installed some crown moulding this week.  I like the crown but I wanted to hide all the cleats and ceiling and back wall.   So...

Kitchen Design Dilemma

I’ve never had such a hard time deciding what to do with a space as I am with this kitchen.  My kitchen is separated from the living room by a big wall so it feels like I’m in “Time Out” when I’m preparing meals or cleaning up.   This is what I would LOVE to...

Workshop Progress

My workshop is starting to look like MY workshop.  :-D I’ve been making slow progress… but progress is progress. I built and installed some of the faceframes and finished my “Old World” wood countertop. I LOVE how it turned out! What, why and how later…   Today,...

Executive Master Closet

I’ve been building this Master Closet for four months so I can’t even express how happy I am to finally say, “IT IS FINISHED!”  Thanks for sticking it out and encouraging me when I wanted to quit! The details on the drawer pulls:  24″ brushed nickel pulls for all the large...

Master Closet Adventure (The Movie)

Happy Halloween! We all dressed up (spur of the moment) to go pass out doughnuts at Wes’ work on Saturday (after which…Maddie got a fever, chills, sore thought…and is still sick.)    I hadn’t put together my costume yet so I just pulled last years costume out of a bag (seriously,...

Screened in Porch – Done

The Screened in Porch is Finally done!   I tell ya’, Wes and I are turning a new leaf with all these projects we are doing together.  This weekend we installed the screen door. Do you remember what it looked like before? I know painting WOOD is always controversial.   There are those that...
