Bathroom before/after | MidNesting
https://midnesting.wordpress.com/2015/02/07/bathroom-beforeafter
Making our home in the heartland. February 7, 2015. February 8, 2015. I wanted to wait to do a before/after of the upstairs bath until we were completely done with it. But we’ve been 95% done for a few months now, and I’m not sure when that last 5% will get done. So here goes. Let me remind you what it looked like when we first saw the house:. View from the door. Look at that beautiful drapery! And from the opposite corner:. Bathroom viewed from the tub corner. Josh taking down the drapes. We saved thous...

Making our home in the heartland. February 24, 2015. So here we are, T-3 weeks and some change to my due date, and the nursery is coming together. Most new parents’ nursery plans involve a gallon of paint, moving in new furniture and hanging a few pictures. Ours were a little more involved. Here’s the bedroom we plan to use for the baby’s room, as we saw it when we bought the house. Gotta love the candy dish of Werther’s Originals for guests. Then, Josh began stripping the paint from the baseboards, door...

NEW THRONE INCLUDED ON THANKSGIVING LIST |
https://deanrea.wordpress.com/2016/11/25/new-throne-included-on-thanksgiving-list
NEW THRONE INCLUDED ON THANKSGIVING LIST. November 25, 2016. My wife Lou and I celebrated our 66. Wedding anniversary this week. That led the list of things I am thankful for this year as the annual turkey-day observance poked its head through cloudy skies above our home in Eugene, Oregon. I might have placed the acquisition and installation of a new toilet in the master bathroom at the top of the list, but decided to move it down a notch or two. Ended up in Hood River where I edited a weekly newspaper f...

Embracing the thorny side of life | The Feminist Kitchen

Musings on women and food. Book club film series. Embracing the thorny side of life. March 30, 2014. We’re entering a new season here at the Feminist Kitchen. But as I tell anyone who wants to listen, blogging is an evolving practice we dedicate ourselves to when it serves us and have to let go when it doesn’t. I’m somewhere in between those two extremes with this blog right now, and I’ve decided to treat it like this gorgeous thistle I came across over the weekend. This being human is a guest house.

Oh, hey bathroom | MidNesting
https://midnesting.wordpress.com/2014/10/11/oh-hey-bathroom
Making our home in the heartland. Oh, hey bathroom. October 11, 2014. October 11, 2014. We demoed the upstairs bath on July 3. It has been 100 days and it’s still not done. To be fair, Josh and I both work full time, were out of town quite a bit in August and September and started other projects in the meantime. But it has been much more work than we imagined. Here’s the bathroom as we saw it when we put an offer on the house:. View from the door. Look at that beautiful drapery! You can’t see it to...

Red room | MidNesting
https://midnesting.wordpress.com/2014/12/03/red-room
Making our home in the heartland. December 3, 2014. December 4, 2014. This post is long overdue but I need to publish it before I show pics of our (mostly) completed bathroom. I loved the dining room the first time I saw it from the leaded windows to the 70s wallpaper to the antique chandelier. View from the kitchen door. View from the French doors to the living room. I wanted to keep the wallpaper on one accent wall, but every wall had at least one faded area. Wallpaper past residue on the wall. The din...

Bedroom demo | MidNesting
https://midnesting.wordpress.com/2014/05/13/bedroom-demo
Making our home in the heartland. May 13, 2014. May 13, 2014. I promise we haven’t been hiding our master bedroom renovation from you. Actually, we haven’t done much since that first update. Until last weekend. The weather got nicer and we moved our weekend work outdoors (garden updates TK.). Let me remind you what it looked like when we bought the house. The curtains were the first to go, obvi. We removed the fake wood paneled ceiling and the ceiling tiles above. Behind it was plastic sheeting over the ...

Word on the Street. Personal essays from a young journalist in the Sunshine State. My not-so-simple response to the question: ‘So, why did you become a vegetarian? By Mallary Jean Tenore. Earlier this summer, I ate a piece of red meat. It was the first time I had eaten meat in two-and-a-half years, and for a while after, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. My boyfriend had given me a tiny sliver of beef from his enchillada after I made a deal with him. On your mark get set Gooooooo! The night she died, Da...
