Every time I look at this carpet I start singing “loaaaathing, unadulterated loathing”, from the broadway show ‘Wicked’. I can’t help it. THAT one line is exactly how I feel about this carpet…the ugliest carpet that ever there was. It is week 4 of the New Year, New Room Refresh challenge. And just to remind you […] Read more…

Welcome to week 2 of the New Year New Room refresh challenge! In case you missed last week’s adventure, I joined in with an amazing group of bloggers who are all refreshing a room in 4 weeks.

Happy New Year! There is nothing quite like ringing in the new year by remodeling an entire room in 4 weeks. Haha. I don’t know. Seems like a totally fun, totally crazy thing to do. So when my good friend (and former contributor here on the blog!) Stephanie of Casa Watkins Living, invited me to […] Read more…
Hahaha, that title is so misleading. The “final touches” of the half bath include removing the toilet in order to lay new flooring, adding molding, painting, and THEN the decorative touches. It is week 5 of the One Room Challenge, and next week is suppose to be the big reveal of the half bath / powder […] Read more…

Oh people. I did a thing. I bobbed when I was suppose to weave, and got hit with the excitement of joining in the One Room Challenge. So while I was suppose to sit this one out (it’s going to be a VERY busy October), one morning in a rare uptake of impressive efficiency, I thought, I […] Read more…

It is week 4 of the 6-week One Room Challenge, and things have NOT gone as expected. I have done a kitchen for the One Room Challenge, and that went more smoothly than my little ole Family Room makeover. How? How is THAT possible? Anyway, more on that drama a little later. First I want […] Read more…
Wondering how things are going on week 3 of the 6-week One Room Challenge?

Unbelievably, I have 3 bathtub + shower remodels going on at the same time. Remodeling the shower is the biggest expense of any bathroom renovation, so I’ve done my research to help save every possible penny with the desired outcome. Today, I’m going to share with you what I learned during my shower remodel, and how you […] Read more…
Oh guys, I suppose I’m right on track with the typical week 3’s of the One Room Challenge. This happens every time…the first couple weeks feel like actual progress as demolition or apparent changes like flooring or even wall paint gets done. Then by the third week things start to crawl as very little visual […] Read more…

Okay, so maybe my blog post title is just a teeny tiny bit melodramatic. But honestly guys, my laundry room is horrid and in terrible need of a renovation. To begin with it isn’t even IN my house. I have to trek through my saw-dusty garage to get to a laundry room that is freezing in the winter, muggy in the […] Read more…
