Creating a stylish, simple & handmade home.

project bathroom: caulking

Before I get into telling you about caulking our bathroom, let me just say that I have been giggling for more than a few minutes about all of the not-very-appropriate titles I could have named this post. Apparently I'm still in junior high? Back to the adult stuff... last we left off in the bathroom reno saga, we had just put up the trim and done a fresh coat of white paint on the walls. Next ...

a weekend in washington

As I mentioned in Monday's post, the hubby and I had a mini-holiday in Washington D.C. last weekend. Neither of us had been there before, so it was a full three days of strolling around, eating tons of great food, sitting in cafes, seeing the monuments and just taking it all in. We started off with the most obvious Washington site: The White House. It was actually really sweet - in the ... View the Post

So, I bet you thought it wouldn't get any more exciting than patching walls on Monday's post? Well, get ready, we're going to talk about trim.

This step always seems like it's going to take all of 20 minutes and somehow becomes a multi-day project. We had a variety of patching to do in our wee little bathroom - fixing existing walls, working on the new areas of drywall, and filling some big gaping holes. Let's ... View the Post

project bathroom: vanity take two

After we built our custom vanity (which you can read about here), it was time to install that sucker. Goodbye, teeny-tiny wall mounted sink with no storage! Remember how the Lillangen sink was practically bang on for measurements in our little nook? Well, once we held it in place with the vanity it just felt too close to comfort for us (like the door was *almost* scratching it as it ... View the Post

project bathroom: the vanity

So when we last left off, we had done the demo and tub install, tiling around the shower, grouting, and laid the marble floor. Our aim was to get all the big ticket stuff done first so that we could putter away at the small stuff but have a usable bathroom (remember, we only have one!). So the last on our "major things" list was the vanity and sink. We actually started this project some time ago ... View the Post
