Bathroom Demo

"If I want to be alone, some place I can write, I can read, I can pray, I can cry, I can do whatever I want - I go to the bathroom."- Anonymous
NOT in HERE!!!!! 


With the greatest honors, let me introduce you to the two most horrible bathrooms in the world! These bathrooms were covered in CARPET!  Yes carpet. Underneath this carpet were beautiful tiled 1922 hexagon tile. 
So this is what it looks like now.....
No more plaster. Don't worry, I saved all of the original tile and we are going to make a floor to ceiling tile wall where the claw foot tub goes

This is the new bathroom vanity. Sink and all. I can't show you all the pieces. Surprise is the best! 

Wall between the two bathrooms are gone! Yay for BIG!


With ordering everything online and through Etsy, eBay, Amazon and such, you just never know what you'll open up! 

Finally found the tub! I can't wait to show you what this beauty will look like when I'm finished with it!  We found this literally when it was delivered to "MeMa Had One" This super cool antique store off of Washington Rd. You have got to go!

More Kitchen....

These are some more pictures from the kitchen renovation! 



I just love him! The puppies just wanted to see what he was doing. 
 This ceiling is so beautiful! I spent 4 days painting it by hand.........but Joseph is the creator of this beautiful piece!  The light I got it from a vendor on Etsy from Maine! Just love it! 

 I know it looks so white, but the blue we chose gives it a big pop of color on the three walls we have left! 

These cabinets are from the 1970's. We decided to keep them....all 40 of them! lol They turned out better than we expected. 



 I just love him!

My sweet daddy and Joseph putting in our butcher block counter tops! They work so well together!

 LOVE!

House Warming Party March 1, 2014



It all starts with an invitation, that leads to a party, that makes wonderful memories! 


My sweet sister-in-law Anne and niece Sarah signing in.
We let people sign all over the walls. My dear friend Kelly captured all of the wonderful moments. 

 We are so in love with our kitchen! It turned out better than our expectations. 


The floors were covered up by two layers of lenolium and tar. They make our kitchen! The three weeks that I spent on these were well worth it! 
  
We have decided to keep the 1922 silk wallpaper. I just can't find it in me to take it down. 

This explains it all! 

"If you feed them, they will come."  


Our sweet Mrs. Reese made us a beautiful wreath to hang on our front door. 
 2224 Kings Way is a happy home. After 15 years of being vacant, our party not only showed off the wonderful features of this home, but seemed to have brought it back to life. We are so thankful for our sweet Kings Way home! 
 We put all of our paint samples on the walls and let people vote on the ones they liked the most.  We chose the audience favorite and the living room and dining room look fabulous! Thanks guys! 

This was a great way to get people started with the signing of the walls. When we told people to sign in, they kind of thought we were joking! 

My sweet Daddy brought over his popcorn machine. Huge hit! 

 John Ryan is so talented! He had a blast painting on the walls. It was very hard for us to cover this all up. 


 Joseph! 

Love! 

This ceiling has been a dream of ours! Love!
