As the ridiculously cheesy house signs say…home is where the heart is. And 16 years ago this month, I took possession of a teeny-tiny bungalow in one of Winnipeg’s most notorious neighbourhoods and it’s had a grasp on my heart ever since. When I first bought this little gem, it had a beige living room (lamé!), … [Read more]
Well, after a long journey through another home renovation, I’m extremely happy to say my kitchen overhaul is officially OVER! And boy am I happy with the outcome.
And away we go! Today was the beginning of my kitchen renovation. I’m extrememly excited with a side of trepidation; renos can take a looooong time. Hopefully this one goes well and I end up with a fab kitchen that I love to bits. It actually better exceed expectations, because I really liked my old … [Read more]
Wow, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted something. Can’t really think of anything to talk about, so I will just post some pics of my finished bathroom. I should say almost finished. The floor is still not complete as not enough tile was ordered and my beautiful new sink was crushed by a cat. Yep, … [Read more]
Here are some pics of my bathroom reno so far. Still have a bit to do, but it’s starting to look good.
Today, I was told by my coworker Anna that I am a lazy blogger. Ok, maybe those weren’t her exact words, but that’s what I have been. Here’s my excuse… I have been super busy! The last couple of weeks have been crazy. I am currently motoring between my home to check on the bathroom … [Read more]
The bathroom reno has begun! The old tub wall is being removed as I write this. I love, love, love watching the destruction of it. I hated that wall. Stupid linoleum tub surround. It was gross. I’m going to blog the process as it continues. I will try to take some good shots of the … [Read more]
What a Sunday! I have been sanding and painting my hallway all day; just giving it a badly needed refresh really. My hallway consists of six door frames, four have doors and the other two are entrance ways. I call it the pivot zone as it’s only big enough to stand in. You just pivot … [Read more]
It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Work is always crazy in December; this year especially as I’m trying to finish a couple of projects before year-end. Christmas shopping is hectic and all the while I’m trying to organize getting my bathroom updated. I’m not the best at this reno thing. I don’t really know … [Read more]
I’m such a procrastinator! I’ve known for a month that I have to give a presentation to the web team and I am just sitting down now to figure out what to present! Actually, I guess I’m blogging instead. Not good. Tomorrow should be interesting. Basement update: The poly is on the walls in the … [Read more]
Yes! Insulation in my basement. It’s finally done and feels so much cozier down there already. The dank is gradually going away. Next step, poly. Here are the latest pics.
Today was the first day of my basement renovation. Oh my! It looks 100 percent better! No more creepiness, or at the very least, it’s minimal. Don’t know how far I will go, but it’s great to see it gutted. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture (of the creepy place) before the demo. But … [Read more]
