I’m feeling a myriad of emotions on this final week. I’m happy that so much work got done, but bummed that it didn’t ALL get done. I’m pretty proud of how I challenged myself and didn’t give up, even when it got REAL HARD. And I hate saying this, but I’m a little disappointed that […]
I am excited to be writing this week with some REAL progress in the attic bathroom! YAY! After battling the shower tile on the ceiling for waaaaaayyyyyy longer than anticipated, this past week we moved on to the floor tile. I chose a very simple quarry terra cotta tile to go along with the natural […]
I feel like THIS week really put the “challenge” in the One Room Challenge! Why, you ask?! Here’s the long short of it… I seriously loooooove old buildings. My excitement knows no limits when reimagining the spaces of unloved structures. But my dad, who made his living remodeling houses, always told me that it’s harder […]
We are over halfway through this One Room Challenge now, and I’m feeling more behind than ever! I’m thrilled to report that there is tile on the walls now! Maybe not the sloped ceiling above the tub yet (we hit some snags), but it is next up. When you have big projects to do, you […]
Greetings from the Attic! We are about half way through the One Room Challenge and I’ve been unintentionally falling asleep on the couch at the end of the day, so that tells me that I’m getting stuff accomplished. This week has been full of more prep work, which is boring to look at and exhausting […]
I’m calling this week the “Nothin’ But Problems” week. And it was supposed to be my fun, therapy painting week, too, dang it! I shouldn’t say it’s been all bad, because progress has been made with getting the hardie backer down on the floor, with no issues. I LOVE when that happens! I sketched out […]
This week we started working on getting the drywall mud on the walls and corners. I have always thought I wasn’t able to tape and mud well. I grew up with a dad who worked in home construction, which is amazing for me and my love of fixing up old buildings! But when I was […]
Have you ever started a project by destructively tearing walls out, only to come back to it shocked that those walls came down like 3 years ago? Ohhh boy, does time fly! This is why I am going to focus on getting this very small, weirdly angled attic bathroom FINISHED (typing that word is scary). […]
Are you the kind of person who sees the above image and thinks, “Nope! Noooo way! This place is a mess, a time suck, likely a money pit, and therefore not for me!” Or are you like me and see this “dump” absolutely oozing with endless possibilities? If you think the latter, I call this […]
