Writing this post is like a victory dance for me! We’ve crossed the finish line and are ready to list. And I’m ready to share! Enjoy! Front Porch A little foliage, a new light, and a new front door color and hardware go a long way. I added the address plaque to bring out the…
Flip House Friday: Bathroom Plans
Well, things are coming along at the Skinny House. Slowly but surely! We have a certain neighbor who keeps complaining to the town about our permit, and an inspector who seems to drop by at least every half hour. I was actually mentioning him to my GC when, lo and behold, he drives by. Speak…
Bath Vanity Plans
The biggest part of this little bathroom reno was the new vanity. It was also the part that stressed me the most! I’ve never made a vanity before, much less designed one, so I really took the time to think through all the little nuances…. like how the top attached, how to work around the…
Create Your Own Transom Window
I have lots of love for transoms. I know, who doesn’t, right? When we built our downstairs bath, we added an opening in the shower wall to help let in more light. But it was always a little…. blah. I could never put my finger on it, but it didn’t strike my fancy. So…
Herringbone Mirror
You may remember the herringbone fireplace insert I created (if not, check that out here!) I loved the way it turned out, and it was a lot of fun to do. Fast forward to my bath makeover planning, and I knew I needed something more substantial in the mirror department. And then it clicked; I could…
Interior Shutters
It’s time for another bathroom project! These shutters easily provide privacy when needed, but can still stay open and let in the light. These are super easy to make, especially with proper planning. Take a good look at your window and trim, and take a trip to the hardware store to look at hinges….
Faux Shiplap Tips: Part 2!
One of the major aspects of my bath refresh (check that out here!) was the faux shiplap. This was my third time installing this, and each time I’ve gotten better. If you didn’t see part 1 of these tips, check that out here. Chisel it, just a little bit! Don’t be afraid to go old…
Bath Reveal
A couple of weeks ago, I sent my sister a pic of some of my bathroom projects. She responded that she couldn’t wait to see it, and all I could think was, “Me either!” Well, the wait is finally over! The construction site my husband lovingly called our bathroom is gone. I had a few reasons…
Bath Refresh: Update
There’s nothing like the flu to hinder progress! I’m less than 2 weeks (hopefully!) away from starting on my next flip house, and I thought I would be done with this bathroom by now. But alas, some aches and pains and some backwards progress have kept me square in the middle of this project. I…
Bath Update & A Little Paula Abdul
We had some awesome weather here last week, which gave me a chance to head out to the garage and make some progress on my bath projects. Which is good. Because I have a lot of them! I stained and cut the wood for shutters to go on the window. Now I need to touch…
