Re: Blog Wednesday

  • Since we both posted a Blog Wed post, I'll post my updates here too :)

    I have a huge new house update and tonight I'll be posting sneak peeks of Gabriel's birthday party.

  • I just laughed at your formula mixer post.  How you heard Jason using it in the middle of the night :)
  • I've been so busy and have nothing new to report, just the "Final Move" update from last tuesday for anyone who missed it last week.  But nothing too exciting :-)

    I've switched my blog around to hopefully become a "giveaway" blog - so the more followers I have, the more likely a sponsor will notice me and let me host a giveaway with their products.  No pressure of course.  :)

    this feels very vendor-esque to me.

  • It would be if I was making money from it but if it makes you feel uncomfortable I'll delete the post.

    Great job! How long did it take to do start to finish?

    tornado. hahaha. just kidding. 

    it was a disaster. super small with too much stuff in it. the conversation started with "let paint and get a smaller vanity" and it quickly turned into gutting it. oops. 

    this is actually how all the remodels in our house go (and are going to go) so i should get used to it.

  • Do you have another bathroom at least you can use?  Or are you just OK showing the full monty to everyone?  haha!

  • I got a custom layout done for my blog and added a post about a recently complete afghan that I LOVE!  But unfortunately for me it was made as a present :-)

    yeah, we have a full bathroom. this is kind of embarrassing but our house has 3 bathrooms and for just about the whole time we have lived there we only use one. this is hopefully going to help with that problem....if it ever gets done. I'm no Mara - i could use a shot of her motivation.

    yes, i have pictures. i wanted to post one to compare to your hole. it would have been much more dramatic but i don't have my camera cord here. 

    you would love the 3 layers of wallpaper (one being paper bags) and 2 layers of flooring it had.

    I agree - Mara should have signed up for her own show on HGTV or something "Mara's Old House".

    Wow! It looks fantastic.  We have been such slackers. We were supposed to start working on our basement over the winter. We did not.

    Great job! How long did it take to do start to finish?

    Um.  I have no idea.  It's been a long time actually.  Like, well over a year.  I know it seems like we're super motivated, but we actually work slowly.  :o)  I think we demolished the fireplace in the summer-ish of 2009?  The drywall went up last summer.  I should have time-stamped each addition to the website, it would have been cool to see the progress.

    Thanks so much for the compliments everyone, it's really nice to hear!  We still have more work to do (on the other side of the basement mostly, the office/craft area), and it's hard to find time/motivation to just freaking finish it already!
