Almost a year ago we began renovations on our guest bathroom and finally the project is complete. I’m excited to share this room with you and also excited to host overnight guests. Our guest bathroom had been updated by the previous owner in the 1980’s with new wall tile and a new vinyl floor. Both…
It’s great when a project can be a DIY, but sometimes professional help is needed. The damage to our yard from the derecho on June 29 was too much to repair on our own, so we called in our friends at Southern Landscape Group for help. The front yard had giant ruts from the tree…
Now that I’m back in school, projects and chores get completed on the weekend or not at all. We recently noticed that a cherry tree between our house and the house next door had died. Since our turf will be repaired at the end of the month, we decided that we should take this tree down immediately…
Let’s just say that Mr. SP and I aren’t quick DIYers. We started renovating our upstairs bathroom in January, it’s now August, and we are still working on the project. My last update was in March and a bit of progress has been made since then. Here are the links to my previous posts if…
A lot of progress was made this week in the bathroom. The plumber came on Tuesday to finish his work which included installing a one handled faucet to replace our old two handled one and replacing the shower head. On Friday we had the bathtub resurfaced. The old paint was removed and it now looks better…
This weekend we both had a lot of time to devote to our bathroom renovation project. I was able to complete the window curtain with the exception of needing to buy five rings to sew to the top. Instead of using a rod, this curtain will hang from three Pate Meadows knobs. The knobs will…
Our bathroom renovation project continues, weekend-warrior style. After a very hard and busy week at work, Mr. SP worked himself silly on Saturday to complete the wall tile. I think it looks quite nice and am so impressed by the job that Mr. SP is doing. Here he is marking a tile to fit…
If you missed part one or two, we are in the process of remodeling our upstairs bathroom. Mr. SP worked very hard on Saturday and was able to get half of the bathroom walls tiled. We both are very pleased with the subway tile that we selected. Mr. SP likes a small grout line and…
If you missed Part One, we are renovating our upstairs guest bathroom. Last week our floor tile was delivered from Home Depot, we ordered a vanity and sink, and we purchased the wall tile from Lowes. Some of the supplies are upstairs near the bathroom and others are still on the porch. The tile boxes…
Renovating our upstairs guest bathroom has been on our “to do” list for a long while. 2012 is the year for this project. Take a look at this tiny bathroom. House designers in the 1950’s didn’t count bathrooms as spaces deserving much square footage. This space is small and very difficult to photograph! The main…
