ORC Week 3: Colours, fixtures & finishes
Happy Thursday! It's week 3 and we've reached the half way point of our One Room Challenge!! If you missed our previous updates, you can go back to read Week 1 & Week 2 where we shared the before of our entire master suite & the plans for our #MasterBathRetreat. The bedroom space still looks much as it did last week, with the exception of the windows that have now been trimmed. We've also cleaned up a bit & removed all of the drywall pieces left from the wall that needed to be opened for the en-suite plumbing, which should happen next week.
ORC Week 2: Creating a Master Bath Retreat
We've made it to Week 2 of our One Room Challenge! There's nothing like a little time off work and a long weekend to give you the kick in the pants you need to get going on a reno project. Last week, Kes and I were fortunate enough to be able to take a few vacation days ahead of the Easter long weekend which made for a ton of progress on our space so far.
One Room Challenge: The Dream Bedroom
Ok. Let's try this thing again... If you're new here and joining us from Calling it Home - welcome! I'll get to the fun stuff in a minute. There's just one thing I need to get off my chest first... So I think it's pretty clear at this point that we VASTLY overestimated our ability to blog regularly while undergoing a major renovation.
One Room Challenge Week 5: Getting back on track
We're back with week 5 and after our setback a couple of weeks ago we're finally on our way to getting this One Room Challenge back on track. That said, we've still got a LONG way to go to make our six week deadline.
When tiling goes wrong…
Soooo we've hit a setback with the tiling for Operation Organized Entryway. If you follow us on Instagram, you might have already seen this. Remember our beautiful honed grey basalt tile that I love and was ranting & raving over in our last post?? Yea....well.... here's how it looked the next day once the tiles were set & we snapped off all of the leveling clips...
One Room Challenge Week 3: Getting down & dirty with tiles
We're into week 3 of 6 in our One Room Challenge which means we're right at the half way mark. Aaaaannd as I write that I'm starting to feel the pressure. Last week was a bit anti-climactic with all of the researching, material sourcing & shopping but this week we really got to work.
One Room Challenge Week 2: Multi-tasking & material sourcing
Well it's Week 2 of the One Room Challenge where we're transforming one room in our house over the next 6 weeks along with the 20 chosen design bloggers as well as the 96 other bloggers playing along in the linkup rounds over at Calling It Home. In Week 1, we started things off by revealing our plans for what we're calling #OperationOrganizedEntryway (if you missed it you can go get caught up here).
Lessons in Drywall
Things around here have been a little quiet of late. But that's because Kes and I have put our DIY hats on & have been spending most of what used to be our blogging hours working at the Dreamhouse.
Talking life, business and DIY with Bryan Baeumler
If you follow our blog, you know that it's no secret that Kes & I are HGTV fanboys (or fanboy and fangirl, lol). So when Jennifer Flores recently approached us to ask if we'd be interested in interviewing Bryan Baeumler on behalf of BlogPodium, our reaction was something comparable to a teenage girl at a One Direction concert. I seriously had to re-write my email response to her three times to tone down the number of "OMG"s and "that's amazing"s!
5 things you didn’t know about radiant heating
If you've been following along you know that we've finally got some walls up in this place & things are progressing. But we realized that we didn't take any real time to fill you in on all the important stuff that happened behind the walls. So today we're taking you back to talk about radiant heating.
