Next Project

Found the perfect, in every way, Barn Door hardware for bathroom door. Not really barn door hardware, but hardware to hang my barn door at a fraction of the cost!

Can't wait to get it up and going!

Board and Batten is up

Yay! The dining room has taken on a different look. I can't say that I love it more than the old look, but I can say that I love it!

The orange color clashed with the granite and so the new color moved in. The soft gray has a soothing affect on all that enter. Did you know that color could change your mood...hhmmm....who knew :-)

Board and batten was more difficult than I imagined it would be. Every time I complete a new DIY project I have grown a new brain cell! and this is no different :-)

Enjoy the pictures....

Still Working

well, now the walls are painted, and I am putting up board and batten. the handy dandy peeps down at Home Depot rented my a nifty compound miter saw, and my job just got easier.

SO......YOU CAN'T SEE MY PICTURES......WORKING ON IT ;-)

So, you can't see my pictures unless you are logged into my account. crazy I know!!
new to this blogging thing....seems there are many kinks to work out...

And finally, we have water!! YAY!
Granite composite sink and a new Moen faucet!
LOVE IT!

Tile goes up...

 The tile is a small 2 x 1 textured stone. We LOVE LOVE LOVE it....and yes, we did grout...ugh:-) the tile behind the stove is 2 x 4 green glass tile. Love it too!
We moved the outlets....too many under the cabinets...so they were covered by the tile... hated to cover the beautiful orange! love that color



Cutting around the individual tiles was not my job :-) thank goodness!!




Did I mention we didn't cook for a week!


But the work is starting to pay off!




A work STILL in progress....JK! it really didn't take that long after the work began :-)


Not finished yet, but getting there.

I would have to say that the tile looks great with the granite!

Top to Bottom

This is the kitchen as the tile and lights were being installed. It was the Great Ice Storm of 2010...so EVERYTHING stayed inside :-)



Navigating the kitchen became a game :-)




And then....we started the tile installation....
