master bedroom – not everything is looking great

January 25, 2012 5 Comments

I can't be true to myself, or all of you for that matter, if I have a week of all beautiful reveals. Of course some rooms are in pretty good shape like the living room, kitchen and craft room. But in reality our entire house is still in flux. Renovating yourself can be a very slow process. Case in point, our master bedroom. It has been over one year since we bought this house and we are still in one of the extra rooms instead of the master bedroom. Probably because it has looked like this for … [Read more...]

before and after – living room reveal

January 24, 2012 15 Comments

I have another reveal! Two reveals in a row, it must be a good week! But before I jump into the reveal, I'm begging for some good vibes. We have our final inspection today for the central AC unit we had installed in the back of our house for the family room and master bedroom. We really need to pass so if you have any good thoughts to spare, I'll gladly take them. I promise to give them back.Our living room has been pretty close to being done for some time now, but for some reason I have never … [Read more...]

backsplash reveal – diy white subway tile

January 23, 2012 16 Comments

I hope you all had a great weekend. We kept it pretty low key only tackling a few projects around the house and some crafts. Best parts of the weekend were meeting baby Parker (who I made the freezer stencil onesie for) and finally taking pictures of the house!. We can finally share the DIY subway tile backsplash I installed. Our kitchen renovation is ALMOST there. If I wasn't married to Mr. Start-100-Projects-At-One-Time, we would be further along in our renovations instead of having 100 … [Read more...]

year 2 – 2012 house renovation plans

January 10, 2012 11 Comments

2012 marks the beginning of our second year in this house. Some days it feels like we have been here forever, other days I still can't believe we moved. We have made a lot of progress in the past year but there is hopefully a lot more to come in 2012. At least I really hope so. While I love the renovating, I am looking forward to a bit of a rest for the big projects. I'm going to do my best to get a good photo tour of the house in the current state done in the next few weeks. Let's hope for some … [Read more...]

craft room paint color

January 8, 2012 4 Comments

I've had a bunch of requests about the paint color of my craft room in the past few days. Unfortunately, a lot of the readers who have asked are no reply bloggers and I cannot get back to them. If you have ever asked me a question in a comment and I did not reply to you it is because I have no way of doing so. Take a look at this great post from Ask Anna on how to fix that so bloggers can reply to you. I don't want any of you to think I was being rude and not answering!This post is for all you … [Read more...]
