Me and my one bathroom house with no linen closet….I have an issue with storage. Situation: I wanted a place to keep my curling irons, girly stuff and cleaning supplies close to the sink. I hated the vanity with the cabinet. You know…the pratical one. And I had to have a pedestal sink…like I have plenty … Continue reading
I finally finished my bathroom and realized I did not post photos. Hopefully you will find it as interesting as the people who come over and peek in my medicine cabinet. Yes I have had peekers and remember because the kids kept going in my stuff I put an alarm on the door. Welllllllll I … Continue reading
I recently put my sink in. By myself. I am proud of that. But what I am not proud of is that after I installed it two of the nuts were leaking. I probably did not tighten it enough but I tightened them as far as I was comfortable doing so. I always fear stripping the nuts. … Continue reading
I had stuff in my bathroom everywhere. (ignore the junk in the mirror…I have major construction going on). There’s junk under the sink, on the shower rods, in the shower stall, hanging in baskets, a basket on the back of the toilet and my vitamins on the sink in the kitchen. It was getting out … Continue reading
I am still not finished yet but I accomplished a few things while on vacation: I fixed the leak under the sink. It kicked my ass but I fixed it Painted my kitchen white. Remember one of the colors of the year 2016 was named as simply white. I used bright while base with mo … Continue reading
This morning I woke up at 7 AM but then I decided to sleep in because my legs are freaking sore from lifting those sub floors and siding panels yesterday. I could barely make it to the bathroom this morning. My hands are all cut up, swollen and hurting as well. I took two Advil … Continue reading
So I showed you this morning the contractor started with a deck and by the time I woke up and made coffee they had gotten this far. I was still working on my cabinet in the bathroom. What started out as a between the studs shelf turned into a shallow shelf because I would have … Continue reading
So I called every number I can think of for help with my sink. I am still refusing to pay a plumber. Not happening captain. Everyone is at work and tonight is New Years Eve so naturally I had no one interested in helping me. whomp whomp wommmmmmmm. In the meantime I have been … Continue reading
Have you ever saw something that you automatically blew off without a thought but then later you found you could not get it off your mind? That happened to me in the last few days. I been going through this creative thing lately and I been checking blogs and Pinterest for inspiration. I read a blog about … Continue reading
I had to renew my tub again because when I did it the first time I did not follow their very specific instructions of NOT using any type of non slip gripping rug (they just want you to bust your butt I guess), then my cleaning lady used a magic eraser to clean it which wound up dulling the finish, I never recaulked it in 3 years, water seeped up under the paint and peeled it, then I purchased a fabric shower curtain which bled on the outside of the tub and I couldn’t get the dye off so I had to do the process all over again. But don’t blame me…blame the kids, grandkids, dad, dog, and/or evil karma. LOL Continue reading
I am on break from school so I have been using this time to catch up on some of my house work. I took a crap load of stuff to the Goodwill, and I cleaned up and cleaned out. The house is finally starting to look like a home! One of the things that has … Continue reading
In my next renovation things are going to go a whole lot different. I know I said I would never do this again but lets face it I been rehabbing houses for the last 25 years and I don’t think that is going to end anytime soon. It would drive me crazy to be in a … Continue reading
I don’t know why I just can’t go for simple stuff BUT if I did I would not be me right? I had no clue how to use my new Silhouette Cameo die cut machine but I watched the video that came with it and a couple of Youtube videos and I was on my … Continue reading
Not sure if I should be feeling hurt or ticked off right now… See What Happened wassss: I decided to fix my sink tonight because I am tired of having to use the tub for hot water. I am not sure why the hot water faucet in the bathroom sink is stuck in the off position, but … Continue reading
When I was living in Florida I had a huge frog sitting at my door waiting for me to get home every day. This went on for at least a year and those who knew about him used to tease me and tell me to kiss it because maybe it was my prince. One day … Continue reading
I have been working on my bathroom off and on. It is a very challenging bathroom because it is so small and I have a lot of beauty products for my hair, skin, bath soaps etc. This is not a bathroom fit for a queen! not yet anyway…I have painted my bathroom a couple of times. While … Continue reading
The paint in the bathroom is dry and I am not too sure I like it. It looks like smeared mustard. On the other hand it is a lot brighter in there. I was thinking about taking the paint back to Lowes and tell them I want the same color in a different line because I … Continue reading
OMG I decided to go cheap on the paint in the bathroom and I am not sure why I did that… maybe because its so small? Anyway I purchased Olympic 15 year paint in Mecca Gold. All the other paint Lowe’s sells has primer in it and I assumed since it was only about $4 … Continue reading
