One Room Challenge, Respectful RenovationNovember 11, 2022188Views 0Likes 5Comments

The tile is almost done. I repeat: the tile is almost done! To say I am thrilled is an understatement. The tiler will be grouting today but caulking in the next few weeks--I'll explain why in a minute. I purchased the wall tile well over a year ago and had no idea if I…

Let the Spring One Room Challenge begin. If you are unfamiliar with the One Room Challenge, it is a bi-annual, eight-week design challenge started by designer/blogger Linda Weinstein. The ORC is a wacky crush of camaraderie, deadlines, and stress, but I have always benefitted from the focus required to get a lot done in a…

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…
