Because I suspect after Friday AM's post that you might be curious about what 1,850 sq. ft. of hardwood flooring looked like, this: That's 85 boxes of 8-ft. boards, all of …
The day I've been waiting for! And the day the dog has been dreading (he really loves sleeping on carpet). Carpet removal, yo! We're about 4 months behind where we expected …
Carpet's gotta go, yo. For one thing, we didn't install it and even though it's in good shape and had been nicely maintained, someone else lived on it, and therefore …
... finding yesterday's West Elm rug for just $99 + shipping (still <$130 total!) was a joy when I take the time to compare it's value to the other rugs …
This house was built in 1941, and the floors in some rooms are a bit bouncy. I addressed this ever-so-briefly when we talked about eliminating squeaks with these amazing countersink …
Our 1940's foursquare home is abundantly squeaky. It's situation that I happily ignored after a friend reminded me that no intruders would be able to enter unnoticed, and at that …
The honest to gosh-darn-goodie truth about this project? I refinished the hardwood floors shortly after moving in, and in doing a thorough job at the time, I removed a threshold …
I've gone to my happy place filled with area rugs, gold paint, and carefully measured templates. Some projects come together wonderfully, are fun to do, and leave you feeling more, …
One time, I tried to make a knit rug I made using a piece of vintage fabric. It turned out great! This time, I sought out a new material to construct with. …
I've been reluctantly showing off some of my big project failures in the last few months. I don't always do things well, and like most of us, I have to …
Oh right, fun fact, there's a huge attic in this house. You don't see much of it on this blog because it's mostly storage, and as much as it would …
For Part 1, start here. It was really a pleasant surprise to find that shale makes a kick ass floor. The big box full of rocks sat in the back of …
Ready for Part 2? Jump to here. I've had this vision of a installing a stone entryway floor for years. Sure, cool in theory, kind of what you'd expect in an …
From time to time I come up with some harebrained ideas, and most of the time, we're not 100% sure those ideas will work out in execution. An idea that …
The window trim and door threshold really have nothing in common sequentially, but I squeezed them both in, same day, easy peasy, on Day 17 of our bathroom remodel. There came …
It's been a long time coming, but I think I'm finally done with the floor portion of our kitchen "remodel". Let's use the term "remodel" loosely; it hardly seems such …
I've turned a blind eye to the baseboard heating systems that live in the kitchen, living room, and dining room. The thing is, I've never really liked them. They don't …
The kitchen floor overhaul I've been anticipating since the day I moved into the house finally got underway last week. The pergo flooring never quite matched the hardwoods that flowed …
Clearly, I'm one of those people who enjoys making more work for herself. But the flooring in the kitchen is one of those places where I'm letting my normal full-destruct …
