House before pictures }. Wednesday, November 27, 2013. Painting My Tiny Bedroom. My bedroom only has one tiny east facing window that has an amazing view. of the neighbor's house. With the room-darkening shades it is like a cave in there, which is perfect for Karl after working a night shift. In the Valspar Gloaming Green color I had thought was wonderful in the kitchen (this same green turned a bright lime green once the artificial lights came on and got nixed). That ended up being the winner! I realize...

{ house on howard }: Starting on the Stairs

House before pictures }. Wednesday, December 4, 2013. Starting on the Stairs. I FINALLY got to get a jump on this staircase of mine. I just fear that it will end up looking like a snowman with a top hat. So anyway. I got a start on my stairs. I painted the risers and the side trim white. I used a liquid deglosser on the side trim and put on 2 coats of primer. You need to prime. Rookie mistake. Here's what the stairs look like now. after an evening of work. Can't wait to start tackling those balusters!

House before pictures }. Friday, December 6, 2013. Callie and Taylor's Farmhouse Beds. When we moved, we decided that Callie and Taylor's set of bunk beds would be Max's, and I would build them new beds. It took about 5 months. but I finished them back in June. Here is what their room looked like before:. I was VERY proud of these two beds. I hadn't built anything in probably 2 years. the last major project being the toddler bed. You can see in the above pic the bed brackets that I used from Rockler.

I wasn't sure what to expect. I was there for an hour and 15 minutes! She didn't tell me anything I didn't already suspect. I was ok with it all. I'm ready to start the healing so I can get back to the running. So lots more Ballet Beautiful bridge series will be in my immediate future! Last night was lululemon upload night...

House before pictures }. Tuesday, February 5, 2013. Time keeps on slippin slippin slippin. Hmmm I had wanted to update at least once a week and I see I have already fallen behind. Ah well! I'm still in the planning stage for a lot of projects so there's not really a whole lot to report but here goes:. Silly girls. I hope they get used to the ticking of a face clock because I just love clocks. The more unique the better! Like this beauty I found the other day at modcloth.com:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

{ house on howard }: Minnesota Winter Prep
http://www.houseonhoward.com/2013/11/minnesota-winter-prep.html
House before pictures }. Saturday, November 2, 2013. In June we replaced the old furnace with a more efficient one for natural gas, so that along with the added insulation should hopefully keep our heating costs down to a more manageable level. Additionally, most windows will be getting the plastic treatment (not in the kitchen or the downstairs bathroom). Still though. It should only snow on Christmas. Otherwise I pretty much despise the white stuff. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

House before pictures }. Friday, November 22, 2013. One Big Project Update. First off. I refinished a pub table and 2 bar stools that I got from my mom when she moved. Here is a before pic of the table and a midway pic of the stools when I decided that completely sanding the veneer off was a great idea. (It was fine. just created a lot of dust). I apologize for the blurriness. I thought I had gotten a good one. but aparently my hand was still vibrating from the detail sander I was using! Again I have sin...
