The bathroom may have thought it’d have plenty of time to settle in and enjoy life as an empty shell, but it was sadly mistaken. Obviously, it doesn’t know us well enough. Teague had two days off in between construction jobs, so while I was at work sitting on my butt he was home leveling […]

Kicking the bathroom’s ass
Fun Tools = Quick Work
This weekend was a complete success! Maybe it’s the layer of grime that runs from one end of the house to the other, or the fact that animals have been crawling into our ceiling nightly. Or maybe it’s the breeze that blows through the cracks in the wall, letting us know we’re heating the outdoors […]
Those little surprises
With old houses, you come to expect it…. even the easist of projects are never easy, because you’ll inevitably uncover some mindblowing new problem while trying to fix the original one. And when you gut a room? OHHHHH, the things you’ll uncover. It’s the reason our kitchen remodel took 6 months, and our master bathroom […]

When we started busting open the master bathroom walls this afternoon I was really optimistic. Alas, we […]
Clawfoot tub refinishing

We still haven’t gotten to the cleaning stage yet, but I’ve already lept ahead to the refinishing process because I love me some research. There are basically three parts of the tub that need restoring, and each […]
New acquisitions: Clawfoot tub, Door jewelry
I mentioned yesterday that we’d gotten some new toys at our house in the past week. The first is something I’ve been lusting after since the day we moved in. An adorable, bubble-bath worthy clawfoot tub. It’s the perfect size – not too big, not too small. It’ll be going in our master bathroom (yes, […]
