Yowzers. This was quite the week. It’s getting redundant to say that each week feels like the house is becoming more real. First the walls, then the plaster… and now it’s all the trim. Things that happened finished plastering started to install 2 sub pumps hung all the doors installed all the trim on the…
I’m really beginning to love this bathroom. I have always liked the big natural light coming in during the day, but as the design takes shape more… I’m falling in love with it. And – the most recent piece of the puzzle makes me even more confident – for now…. at least. I found a…
This uneven, crooked old beach house …. is really starting to look like a house people can live in again. This wasn’t a huge week for house progress but it was a huge week for me sending emails. Turns out the most responsive people in the world are shower door salespeople. Man, they really want…
I love this house. I really do. I am so excited for almost each and every corner of it. I love each wall. I love all the windows. I still love the front door. I very much love the tub. But, just as much as I once hated shower valves and bathtubs. I now hate vanities.…
I am by no means striving to be a vegetarian. But, i guess this qualifies as a vegetarian meal – and i didn’t hate it. i actually liked it. On Sunday morning I was getting ready to make my grocery store list for the week. I popped over to Food52 to see if there was…
Candidly I’m having a hard time designing the master bathroom. I literally have no vision for it. I know what the first floor bathroom looks like. I know what the hall bathroom looks like. I have no idea about the master bathroom. I love my tub. I like the windows. I have zero vision for…
First of all this is a funny word. Second of all, Jim the contractor asked me to decide where any / all paneling was going throughout the house. Initially this might seem like an overwhelming question but it actually was perhaps one of the easiest to date. I looked back at some of the original…
I’m going to categorize week 25 as a hard week. I feel like I’m behind on…. everything. Everyone is waiting for me to respond to them. I’ve legitimately missed the first boat on the home security system (…almost not my fault). I’m wearing on the patience on several people I would imagine. But – while…
This week felt like a light one. I’m sure the crew might feel differently – but that’s how it seems when you initially look at the house. I was out of town for a few days as well but when I came back… the first thing I saw was the front porch trim. It looks…
There is not a single thing in this entire house that I won’t have thought about. Now? It’s interior doors. I bet you just walk through doors and down hallways and never think about them. So did I. Now? I’m thinking about every single detail. Door Throughout this entire project the goal has been to…
