It's the smallest room we've done yet. We thought it'd be the easiest, boy were we wrong. Once we got the wallpaper off we saw all the cracks in the plaster. Hubs has not pleased! So now that all the cracks have hopefully been repaired I can start to paint!<br />Lucky me!<br />And next week we have lots and lots of fencing being delivered because we adopted our new basset hound on Sunday. So that took a little chunk out of tax return, but it will be worth it!<br />Summer...oh sorry road construction season is almost here!<br /><br />Woo-hoo!Our Little Bungalowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06033659712577483802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499168607400919055.post-61528435571767949502009-03-07T10:14:00.002-06:002009-03-07T10:25:48.731-06:00Well we messed this one upSo we are looking at our lovely little bathroom, with it's odd little shape. It's the only bathroom in the house and it's located on the second floor. <br />When we moved here we took out the pedestal sink, yes blasphemy I know! But I did have reasons! We have three children, so I wanted a double sink so at least I could get ready in the morning on they could brush their teeth. We also had to put in a shower as the P.O. only had a jacuzzi tub from 1982 in there. So we had an opening of 48 1/2 inches for a countertop sink and cabinet, which we custom ordered and installed. <br />Now we want to beadboard on top of the cedar carsiding to make it look more like a bathroom. The problem is then the sink a) wouldn't fit or b) the beadboard would overlap on top of the sinktop. <br />Yeah we didn't think that one through.Our Little Bungalowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06033659712577483802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499168607400919055.post-9647095343001437812009-02-15T21:09:00.003-06:002009-02-15T21:14:59.708-06:00Hot Dang!We have new flooring new furniture and I'm pooped!<br />The furniture got here before we got the flooring in, but oh well.<br />I love it!

Let's see hubs sleeps for 5 hours, he's <span style="font-style: italic;">soooo </span>lazy! So I can either, go grocery shopping, nope the kids don't have to eat, or paint the stairway. I think I'm going to choose the stairway. It's gotta get done. Then we move on to the floor of the living room.<br />And oh I have made out my letter to Santa, if any of you know him.......I would like an elf to come strip the paint off of my windows, the inside. I'll do the trim, but man the windows? Those just suck.

It's not the "true" popcorn ceiling, but more of a painted texture ceiling, probably done by the P.O. when they were trying to make this lovely house into the ranch style....you've seen the wallpaper samples from August 1985 right?<br />Anyway it's been bugging the crap out of me. (thank you speedy for the word of the year it seems) and there's no way I can scrap that stuff off. Hubs will NOT put up a new ceiling of drywall or re-plaster just because it bugs me...(hell he could have lived with the crappy wallpaper from 1985, me I love the color of the living room.) But I could possibly talk him into a beadboard ceiling. I don't think he realizes quite how labor intensive it would be and by then we would be already started and he likes the look of beadboard. I know I'm sneaky....but as in previous posts....I have a way of getting <span style="font-style: italic;">my</span> way.<br />So whatcha think?<br />Beadboard ceiling in a brick craftsman bungalow??????Our Little Bungalowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06033659712577483802noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499168607400919055.post-1637969112416481922008-10-07T21:27:00.003-05:002008-10-07T21:32:44.448-05:00Well Hello BOB!Been a long time dear! Where have you been? <br />Haunting the neighbors? <br />Bothering Diane?<br />Oh I see, scaring Candy's kids? Gotcha! <br />Now it's the fall, and time to come home? Oh if you must. But please try not to turn the kids lights on and off too much. You see the youngest is now 4, if you remember Bob, he was 2 when we moved in, yup in the crib too! And anyway he is in school now. He has to get up pretty early. He's also a bear to get up in the morning. So if you could, please, don't flick the lights on and off too much, or just do it in your old master bedroom, our room? Please? The little ones really need to get some sleep. I know you like to turn them on in a clockwise circle and then off in a counter clockwise circle, but please no. I really don't want to have to take the lightbulbs out of the light again. They're a pain to but back in again in the morning at 4:30am. Don't you remember how I broke that one last year? <br />Please Bob, please...Our Little Bungalowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06033659712577483802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499168607400919055.post-14211041714367432872008-09-25T17:04:00.005-05:002008-09-25T17:16:46.840-05:00Clawfoot tub- REFINISHED!Well it's done!<br />And it's beautiful!<br /><br />In case you forgot what it looked like here it is the before:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBVWD_9Hr8YFOIyah8MO18bJAIMcDtsMv2UdZ_lgswJHKuYq6BLF_nWOdtw8kOKWiNT5-nTPtiJzaulmHW-NjER0mSzJTKFuY7uAs8xn4ND7XFNIF3wMKPczgM9E-30rspKsDXHlXtBUg/s1600-h/tubbefore2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBVWD_9Hr8YFOIyah8MO18bJAIMcDtsMv2UdZ_lgswJHKuYq6BLF_nWOdtw8kOKWiNT5-nTPtiJzaulmHW-NjER0mSzJTKFuY7uAs8xn4ND7XFNIF3wMKPczgM9E-30rspKsDXHlXtBUg/s320/tubbefore2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250086109032884434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_bztYsni3cuDsNxJMJQ1TQIosict42s1qYmTG3BcsHTKDbHXf6m5TdAZZ4pd0Zo1_USQW8ALb5BIjF0-DMbb6pbqDzTR27RAmN1PTjvJ5oHP3xi1QsJcJjUAp8iyuHc3VedbeKaJnmds/s1600-h/tubbefore.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_bztYsni3cuDsNxJMJQ1TQIosict42s1qYmTG3BcsHTKDbHXf6m5TdAZZ4pd0Zo1_USQW8ALb5BIjF0-DMbb6pbqDzTR27RAmN1PTjvJ5oHP3xi1QsJcJjUAp8iyuHc3VedbeKaJnmds/s320/tubbefore.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250086056200630914" border="0" /></a><br />We did the outside, with the help of Peel Away 1.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1wOKJxbwx6YEAHTZEycfsd223HZdhp-No3It6BhuXvKjTKHpBGpgTLV1xc2VXPtJPlzdxuJGCdB15kZA2SEtefksPOO5e6VxpCbWbBZXMpSuU2qLlxX8olnlVGeHTbYFv91z0loJHgGw/s1600-h/clawfoottub2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1wOKJxbwx6YEAHTZEycfsd223HZdhp-No3It6BhuXvKjTKHpBGpgTLV1xc2VXPtJPlzdxuJGCdB15kZA2SEtefksPOO5e6VxpCbWbBZXMpSuU2qLlxX8olnlVGeHTbYFv91z0loJHgGw/s320/clawfoottub2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250084591760933330" border="0" /></a><br />Hubs did the feet, aren't they gorgeous?????<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJT9nNffTPKUrX546i8vuDo2bQ4vFBO2HIH0YmpEPxKJGoZoUabcDOrNdRY2u0D65CH1YF08Q1gWt2Z8Z9vRuzkWeyBSweP_VjmqbA7BTxortAproXB9gS9DnZwEgoP47RQergPOfFLUc/s1600-h/clawfoot1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJT9nNffTPKUrX546i8vuDo2bQ4vFBO2HIH0YmpEPxKJGoZoUabcDOrNdRY2u0D65CH1YF08Q1gWt2Z8Z9vRuzkWeyBSweP_VjmqbA7BTxortAproXB9gS9DnZwEgoP47RQergPOfFLUc/s320/clawfoot1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250084001485850482" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And the Tub-n-Tile guy did the inside.

SO while they must think Peel Away is the best thing in the world and 10-15 of them are buzzing my head, I had to finish the two windows I started. I didn't start the third. I'm leaving that for another day. If it gets too cold and that day is next spring....OH WELL.<br /><br />Oh and tub re-finisher guy we picked NEVER called us back.<br />Of course not.

It was coated with epoxy paint, a couple of layers. So we got some stripper actually got the paint off, and now have some rust stains on the tub. Some really bad ones around the drain. Then we have the outside. Of course we have to get the paint off the outside as well. Hubs will be working on that as well soon.<br />But the question is, what to do with the inside? What do we re-finish it with? A kit from the store?Our Little Bungalowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06033659712577483802noreply@blogger.com0
