Hi there! Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful New Year’s celebration. The husband and I spent the weekend assembling and hanging our IKEA cabinet boxes (more on that later) and it was a long weekend of really late nights, but it’s been so worth it!
We’ve had a really busy last couple of weeks at the house with one of the biggest, most anticipated steps finally being completed…THE FLOORS WENT IN! After much hemming and hawing about potentially installing the floors ourselves, we decided that our old crappy sub-floor on the main floor was reason enough to spend the money and have the professionals do it. We found an awesome local company, Green Wood Guys, to install the floors and they not only did so at a reasonable price, they took the time to figure out how to properly lay the weird product we purchased (the boards were essentially glued/finger-jointed smaller boards assembled into 8′ boards and they needed to figure out how to lay the boards so that the seams didn’t meet too much). If you’re in the market for refinishing your floors or installing new floors, we highly recommend these guys!
Anyway, without further ado, I give you THE FLOORS!
Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a fantastic, relaxing holiday weekend with your loved ones. Anyone excited to be back at work??? No? Not you? Yeah…me neither since it means the long weekend of major progress the husband and I made on the house is over 😦 but alas, some of us need paying […]
Sorry for being a bit MIA the last couple of weeks, things have been a bit crazy around here! There has been MAJOR progress on our (not so) Little House on a Hill that I’m super excited to share with you…WE HAVE WALLS! And I’m not talking just framing…like actual, real-life, solid walls that you […]
As you’ve probably gathered by now, I’m a HUGE fan of DIY. I’ll DIY (or at least attempt) almost anything. It’s not just a budget consideration (though my initial rationale does tend to be “that doesn’t look that complicated”), but rather just that I like to make things. I’ve always liked to make things, so now that […]
It seems I’ve found myself in another design nerd dilemma, and I need your help! For those of you who have been following along, you know that our master bathroom has been designed for a while. The plan is to have a very timeless black and white design with a bit of a retro feel […]
Happy Turkey Day! I hope you’re all preparing yourself for good times with good people and delicious absurd amounts of food tomorrow! Sorry for the lack of updates last week it was a CRAZY one filled with really late nights, countless trips to Home Depot (or “the Deeps” as the husband and I lovingly refer […]
One of the rooms that I’m perhaps most looking forward to seeing come to life is my craft room/office. It’s the one room that I’m really taking a bit of a risk in and we’re going to be PAINTING THE CEILING! I know **gasp**! It’s the next best thing to wallpapering the ceiling which the husband […]
As those of you who have been following along know, the husband and I ordered our kitchen months ago and to answer the question you’re all wondering, no, the walls were not fully framed and completed prior to ordering (I know, this was a major risk). Luckily for us, we didn’t have to make too many modifications to […]
For those of you who follow the husband or I on Instagram, this will not be news to you…for the rest of you…THE FLOORS HAVE ARRIVED! Boy was Monday a challenge (and the bruises on my arms would have to agree)!
…right? I mean, that’s basically all budgets and building come down to. How/where do I find a cheaper version of this, how do we build that to make it fit/look right/be what it’s supposed to be. So when we ran into an issue this weekend that the husband believed could only be solved by buying more […]
