I finally finished painting the bedroom walls and the small closet, the casings, and the baseboard. I still plan to remove the doors, strip them down, and then paint them, and to paint the inside of our main closet.…
Got the priming done on the bedroom yesterday, and got the ceiling painted today. It looks so dark in these pics! Anyway, walls tomorrow, and hopefully the mini-closet and woodwork, too, but I’ve had so many distractions this week,…
Well, this is challenging: trying to figure out where what foods should go in our new refrigerator (#firstworldproblems). I’m so glad they included two retractable shelves, or we’d have no place for tall stuff. We still have way…
Woo-hoo! Our new refrigerator arrived today (during the storm). It’s so awesome; it beats the pants off of our crappy old white cheapest-refrigerator-available when we moved in. It has an icemaker, filtered water, freezer on the bottom, French…
Doing this kind of backwards…Got one wall primed and the window trim primed and painted yesterday. Funny how the flat trim on these windows disappears when primed. And then when painted, that wall looks so tiny!
Day 3.5 of prepping 1 room to paint. Jeez, this part takes so long. Got the crack-patching done and retextured; pulled door casing off to do a little modification. Mostly did a lot of small wood-mongering on…
I am embarking on the painting-the-bedroom project. So tired of white walls! We moved out all the furniture except the bed, as there really is no other place for it, especially if we still want to sleep in…
I built a bench out of some scrap lumber this weekend. Made it “narrow-stance” to allow for the severely rounded edges on the two pieces of 2×6; then Terry suggested he liked the rounded bits on the sitting side. So…
I’ve been wanting to get this done since last December; not sure what I was waiting for. Anyway, this will be the first time I’ve cased a window, installed a windowsill, etc. I think it went pretty well.…
Well, almost. I still need to make a shade or blind for the window, but that will have to wait a bit. No, this finishing touch is artwork. I framed up some of my small watercolors, and…
Oh, yay! I finally get to use my storage/workroom for something besides storage and packing. I've always planned for this to be where I do my picture framing, but I haven't had a need to frame anything in a long while.
