Yep, we’re finally getting around to the dining room wainscoting project and we’re starting with a post on how to remove trim. There is quite a lot to do with this one, but we’re happy to finally get to it. We’ve got a full weekend of home projects ahead of us for a change and […]
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 […]
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 […]
Lisa and I are still basking in the awesomeness that is our new hardwood floors. They’re so shiny and clean that I almost don’t want to walk on them… almost. Lots of sliding in socks going on around here. On Monday morning, I took a brake from basking and sliding and I started installing the […]
New Year: New Colors. Since we moved into our new home in July of 2010, we haven’t done much interior painting. We DID paint the outside of our front door and we painted our nursery before the baby was born. But other than that, the white walls have been here as long as we have. […]
The last week or so has been crazy busy. On top of the regular Christmas run-around, Lisa and I have been furiously busy with our grand plans; add to that a last-minute work trip to San Diego. So bear with us as we try to squeeze in a couple quality posts between now and Christmas!! […]
I hate hiring contractors. Ok, wait. I don’t hate hiring contractors. I hate hiring contractors for jobs that I could do myself. That I definitely hate. But, there is one thing that I hate more than that: heights. I hate heights. Not. a. fan. I’m not so terrified that I can’t go up elevators or […]
Part of our “Grand Plan” is to improve the look of our crown molding. Don’t get me wrong, there’s no problem with our current trim whatsoever! When we were selecting the options for our home build, there were some upgrades we passed on because we thought it would be a better value if we just […]
This holiday season, between over eating and last minute gift shopping, Lisa and I are doing some pretty major upgrades around here. A couple of them we’ve already posted about and you’ve probably already seen, but we thought we should clue you in on the big picture. Here’s a list of everything we’re planning… 1. […]
This Thanksgiving weekend, despite all the gratuitous turkey related napping, we were able to get a few hours of work done on our trim upgrades. We finished up the installation portion of the chair rail molding that we has started last week. We still have to caulk, putty and paint, but we’ll do all of […]
