Back in the day, I used to publish a home to-do list. No matter how big or small the project, it was written down on the list to hopefully be checked off. Those posts basically held me accountable and gave me a visual of what needed to get completed around the house. This year I thought, why not give it a twist, set some renovation goals,[...]
We've hit the ground running with the modern fireplace makeover, but I want to focus a bit on custom fireplace design and what to expect when dealing with a stone fabricator. If you saw last week's post, you know that the stone for the fireplace arrived last week, and I decided to throw my hat into the One Room Challenge. Nothing too form[...]

How did I want to proceed with the bedroom makeover? Yes, I could do paint, but I wanted something more luxurious. Limewash? Venetian plaster? How about some black textured wallpap[...]
Welcome to the crunch time portion of the One Room Challenge. Thus far, I've been feeling pretty confident, but that doesn't mean Imma let my foot off the gas pedal. There are still so many tiny details to wrap up, but first, let's review what's completed, shall we? The wallpaper was installed a couple of weeks ago by a wizard...li[...]
Oh boy, the halfway point is where the One Room Challenge can get sketchy. You think damn son, I'm rockin' this ORC! All I have to do is zhush it up, right? Wrong!

We're screamin' into Week 3 of the One Room Challenge and have reached the point in construction where every room is covered in dust and the house is a disaster.
