Sometimes it takes a while for us to fini$h room$, ifyaknowwhatI’msayin. Take our guest bathroom, for instance. We’ve been working on the right side of it, off and on, over the past couple of years… We’ve done some tiling, some … Continue reading
When Kev and I bought this place back in October of 2007, we had to tackle a couple of projects just to get the place livable before we could actually move in. First project- the floors. The carpet in the … Continue reading
Yeah. That’s right. I said it. Day EIGHTY. TWO. That’s almost three months working in a runty room with no windows and a toilet, thankyouverymuch. Okay, fine. I haven’t spent half as much time in there as Kevin has. No, … Continue reading
Ahhhhhhh! There’s nothing like the smell of fresh vinyl flooring in the morning! Yesterday, we had to remove the toilet the previous homeowners installed (in 2003) so that Kevin could lay the rest of our new peel-n-stick planks underneath it. … Continue reading
Thank you to everyone who chimed in about neti pots and NeilMed Sinus Rinse! I opted for the rinse: Yeah, I was too chicken to try the neti pot thing. The thought of not tilting my head at the exact … Continue reading

When I was a little girl, I was certain I wanted to be a plumber when I grew up. I kid you not. My fascination with unclogging drains started at a very young age… From year to year, my passion … Continue reading
After a much needed day of sitting on his booty in front of a computer screen editing yesterday’s video, Kevin is back at it in the bathroom again today. Earlier this week, he cut a hole in the farm table … Continue reading
If only I could renovate that quickly in real life! Kev
“Hey babe?” (Layla) “Yes….” (Kevin) “Now that we have little square tiles all over the wall, I’m worried that the room is gonna look a little “square-crazy” with the checkerboard pattern on the floor.” (Layla) “So you don’t want to … Continue reading
Sporting some of my yellow rubber gloves, and armed with a rubber float, Kevin dove right into the grouting process yesterday using a handy dandy product called “Simple Grout”… Because you literally just smear it on, wait a few hours, … Continue reading
Thanks to the folks at True Value, I was able to get everything I needed to begin tiling the wall in the vanity area today. I spent about $25 of our True Value gift card on tile adhesive, grout, a … Continue reading
We’re home! After an 11.5 hour drive last night, we pulled into Alabama early this morning. By the time we got to our house my eyes were playing some serious tricks on me. Who knew that not getting enough sleep … Continue reading
Yesterday morning we woke up bright and early, jumped in our car, and headed north on I-85 towards Atlanta. It’s exactly three hours from our front door to Ikea’s front door, and we enjoy making a couple of trips there … Continue reading
