The House Built on Good Intentions
This blog should be titled, "The Blog of Good Intentions." Because just the other day I was thinking, Wow I need to post about the chicken coop! But wait, I need to finish those posts about the bathroom first!
And before that I was thinking, Wow I could have one of those Home Improvement blogs! I could post tutorials on remodeling and stuff! That would be awesome!
I even took pictures of the bathroom-in-progress, and as I slapped thinset onto the concrete and smeared it around and cursed my bleeding knees and blistering hands, I imagined the great how-tos I was going to write. I DID write them. In my mind.
And that's as far as I got. Well, I did take pictures. And here they are! Next up, the chicken coop!
Choosing colors:
Measuring for tile:
The many uses of a chalkboard wall:
Multitasking:
Let there be floor!
Let there be a toilet!
Shopping for a new vanity:
Rehabbing the old vanity:
Done at last:
And that's that.
We have a gorgeous, absolutely beautiful custom made farm table in our dining area. Beautiful at first glance. Sit down at it however, and try to eat and you’ll discover a few not so lovable details. Like glasses will tip over if placed in just the wrong spot. Your clothing will catch on splinters in the chairs or the edge of the table. Some of the plugs look suspiciously like wood filler. And if you look closely, the gaps between boards just might be packed with yesterday’s (last week’s?) noodles, rice, etc.
