Design

I remember when we were still in our condo and I was just beginning to blog about my DIY projects, I had this idea to design and decorate the entire condo using a democratic method in which I present my readers with options, and no matter what the outcome of the vote was, the majority

When I was decorating all of the “public” areas of our home, one of my main goals was to create a cohesive interior design throughout all of those areas. I didn’t need them to all look alike, or to have the exact same color palette throughout, but I didn’t want the rooms feeling choppy and

I took some time yesterday to go to Lowe’s, Home Depot, and LL Flooring (formerly Lumber Liquidators) to pick up some samples of flooring that I might consider for the studio countertops, and tile samples for the studio half bath backsplash/accent tile. I also tried to find a paint color similar to the one I

In my spare time lately, I have been devouring landscaping ideas online. I can’t get enough, and my mind is spinning with ideas that I want to incorporate into our landscape on our one acre of land. One of the things that I really want to figure out soon, and hopefully get started on this

Since I wasn’t able to completely clear out the studio and do the entire floor at one time, I’ve had to do the painted floor project in stages, which has made it a bit more challenging than it should have been. But that’s okay! I’m making it work. As I showed you last week, I

I’m still working on the floor in the studio, and hope to have that finished in the next few days. So, of course, I’m thinking about the next steps towards getting the studio finished. The next steps include painting the ceiling and walls, putting up the new wallpaper, installing the lower cabinets, and building countertops.

As of last night, I’m about halfway done with painting a checkerboard floor in the studio. Here’s how it looks so far… I’m really pleased with how it’s turning out so far. The main room, which is about 19.5′ x 21′, is about 2/3 finished. So now I have to put protective paper down on

As soon as we get past this season of rainy weather here in Central Texas, I’m hoping to make some time to finally get some landscaping done in our yard this year. I don’t know how much I’ll actually have time for, but if nothing else, I’d love to get the flower beds along the

I didn’t get any work done on the studio this weekend because I spent all weekend giving the blog a complete makeover. And let me tell you, completely redesigning a 14-year-old blog is no easy task! The redesign wasn’t all about how the blog looks. If that were all it was, I would have put

Yesterday, I shared three ideas that I had for creating an extra-long countertop to span my 19.5-foot wall in the studio, and y’all had some super creative ideas for me! My mind has been reeling with all of the different ideas, and in the end, I’ve decided to use hardwood flooring to create the countertop.

I’ve been putting off a pretty important decision for the studio, and that’s deciding on a countertop for the long wall of cabinets. It’s a challenge because I need an extra-long countertop. After all, that wall is 19.5 feet wide, and the countertop will span the entire width. There really aren’t any perfect options for
