Today we’re going to discuss our raised panel wainscoting layout options, but first Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend. Aren’t you happy to be awake and at work? No? Me neither. Lisa and I haven’t had any real progress with our drawer slides yet, so I’ve decided not to post any more info […]
When I got home from work, I didn’t expect to be writing this post. I was hoping to finally write a celebratory post about our sliding drawers. Not surprisingly, it remains unresolved pending some hardware I need to ship back and exchange for what is hopefully the last pieces I need. So, not having a […]
In this post, we’re going to look at raised panel wainscoting options, but first Happy Monday everybody! Yesterday was Lisa’s birthday and even though she’s the crafty one, I did manage to pull something out of my hat. Remember this birthday pennant banner we had from our daughter’s first birthday? Yeah, well. It’s still hanging […]
So here’s my kitchen cabinet sliding drawers update: I think this project may become a saga. If it takes me another five posts to finish this cabinet drawer situation I wouldn’t be surprised at this point!! I’m trying not to get frustrated, but it happens. What’s the snag? Aren’t you basically done this? Yes, well, […]
I would love to have a post today that showed off my finished sliding cabinet drawers installed, but unfortunately, my local hardware stores didn’t have the right drawers slide hardware in stock at the moment. I’m going to grab some early this week when I go into the city, so I’ll have a wrap up […]
Well this project sure feels like it’s dragging on a bit!! It really shouldn’t take this long to finish, but between work trips, booked up weekends and normal parent-life activities it’s hanging around a little longer than I’d like. But that’s okay! I would like to stress that if you have a free weekend, you […]
Isn’t it funny how the weekends where you do next to nothing seem to wear you out more than the ones where you do everything? Is that just me? Anyway, it’s about time I start sharing with you our plans for our dining room. We’re planning on installing home made raised panel wainscoting. There are […]
Well that was a fun weekend! Lisa and I had a family party for our daughter on Saturday afternoon… and it went off without a hitch. I can’t believe she’s one already! Where does the time go? We basically spent the last six weeks preparing for this with all the projects and cleaning and it […]
A couple of weeks ago, Lisa and I received an email from a reader that enjoyed our site, but wanted to learn more about our first house. They had just bought their first home and were looking to learn something about rehabbing a very old house, since they didn’t have much experience with it themselves. […]
Today we’re lucky to have our very first guest post by Ethan from One Project Closer. I’m totally impressed by the quality advice Ethan dispenses below. I’ll be building a workbench sometime next month (hopefully) and I’ll be incorporating every one of his tips. Check it out! I feel like the workbench is the focal […]
