bathroom makeover

This bathroom has gone from your typical 1950's peach-tiled bath, to mediocre ranch bathroom facelift, to what I hope is the final (and greatest!) improvement. Let's take a walk through what it took to get our bathroom to this point. The reason this improvement even got started is thanks to our crappy tub spigot. You had to jiggle it to get the shower to turn on and I snapped the thing right off and also the pipe that it was connected to... whoops! So instead of fixing what would have been a $300 fix, we decided that now was the time to gut the entire bathroom (for the second time in 7.5 years!) and get it how we wanted it. Now normally my Mr. Fix-It husband does everything around here. But we immediately decided that the plumbing was going to be too big a project. So we hired Mr. Simon to fix it all up. So glad we did since our house's plumbing job was in need of a major upgrade. (And it was worth every pretty penny as we have not had a clogged toilet in over

laundry room

I am pleased to announce that after owning our house for just about 5 years, we have finally made-over our laundry room. I have despised our laundry room since day 1. The biggest issues I had with the room was that it was waaaayy too white for me and the placement of the washer and dryer were ridiculous! We made a few improvements over the years but, of course, I was never satisfied. Finally, our washer and dryer pooped out and we were forced to buy new!! And that's when my husband decided to get to work on it.

Here's a complete list of everything we did to the room: Paint, new flooring, bead-board wall with crown, old door on wall with hooks, new trim all throughout, new washer and dryer, new countertop, raised cabinet and put on feet, bead-board backsplash, corbals and rope lighting under cabinets, crown tr

Our Ninja Warrior Obstacle Course!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love that Jordan (my Carpenter) is such an imaginative, spontaneous, and creative guy! He puts his mind to something and it happens! One of his favorite shows is America Ninja Warrior. He loves that people put so much dedication into training and have so much to show for it in the end. That they accomplish these crazy extreme obstacles based mostly on upper body strength. Jordan has become very educated on food and diet and exercise (through hours of podcasts each day) and it's transformed the way we take care of ourselves around here... mostly by eating a low-sugar diet. And he's also become more passionate about weight-lifting. With the last season of America Ninja Warrior in swing, Jordan started work on our very own warrior course! First things first, he brought home a swing set someone had offered him to be used for the main support system. And.... he brought it to the backyard with the lawn mow
