Marianne — Thu, 22 Sep 2022 18:26:28 +0000

I mentioned in my first post about our Primary Bath Reno that the idea of demolition wasn’t one that had occurred to me at first. As we sat in a holding pattern with the shower un-usable and waiting for availability of our tile installer, I knew I could begin demo without too much of a...

Poolside

It’s been almost 2 years since we broke ground on our “pool house”, and a year and a half since we “moved in“, but we’ve finally reached that point where I feel like it’s come together. I apparently wasn’t good at taking any before pics, so I’ll throw it back to 2015 for this “before”....

If you are looking to add some storage space to a basic bathroom, this linen cabinet could be just the ticket. Customize it to your dimensions and finish to give your bath a custom feel. In the hall bathroom at the Plain Jane, there was a lot of empty space between the vanity and the...

Happy Friday folks! Somehow it is November, and I’m feeling the crunch. In addition to all of the Christmas activities, this time of year also brings my two girls’ birthdays.

We are getting the last of the plumbing fixtures in, and there are still some light fixtures to go up. Bathroom But in the bathroom, things have gone askew 🙁 Here was...

Flip House Friday: Bathroom Plans

Marianne — Fri, 09 Jun 2017 15:54:54 +0000

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...
