Hooray! It is One Room Challenge time again! I would specify that this is the spring One Room Challenge, but Mother Nature is playing a cruel, cruel joke on us. The snow flurries are back, and it's a balmy 25°F outside this morning. If you are visiting the BHH blog for the first time via the…

We had a setback in the guest bathroom right before our guests came to visit. Does anyone else notice that things never fall apart at our convenience? Andy and I were about to go out of town on a long weekend, and his parents were coming to BHH to hang out with the kids and…

Demo in this room is so different from our past projects. Since this is our main bathroom, even though we are tearing it up right now, we still need to use the shower, sink, and toilet every day. It is a challenge to balance the demolition without impairing the function. After each workday, we have to…

I have not talked about the upstairs bathroom for a few weeks, so it may seem like nothing is happening up there. However, there has been some forward progress on the project. Due to our partial demo, the bathroom looks worse than it did. (How is that even possible?) Andy removed all of the wallpaper, and…
