Plain Jane Victorian: July 2011
http://plainjanevictorian.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 3, 2011. We've been working on painting the outside of the house now for several years. See this post. From 2008, and that was even a year or two into the painting. When I first started, I did these color swatches on the back of the house to see what color I liked best. We noticed that those swatches are still holding up fairly well, even though there was no prep work done on them at all and the condition of the clapboards was/is pretty horrendous.

Plain Jane Victorian: February 2013
http://plainjanevictorian.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Thinking About What's Next. We've been thinking a lot lately about what we want to do with the house. We had some plans done up by MGZ. When we built the garage. A "Phase 2" where we connected the house to the garage, added a mudroom, rebuilt the kitchen, and added a master suite above it. We loved the design and have been working at paying down the mortgage so that we can start our project (a 5 to 10 year plan). So where does this put us? Here's some things from AARP. Wide ...

Plain Jane Victorian: April 2010
http://plainjanevictorian.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 24, 2010. The little guy and I watched this past week in between appointments and errands as the framing began. Here's pictures that span from Wednesday through Friday. Monday, April 19, 2010. There was a whole flurry of activity this past week. Essentially the entire foundation is now done. After the little garage was demolished, they dug a huge hole in the backyard. Then the foundation guys came and poured the . "footers" I think (not 100% sure on the terminology! We've never actually h...

Plain Jane Victorian: December 2013
http://plainjanevictorian.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 16, 2013. The Search for Floors that can take a Beating. One of the first things I started thinking about with a remodel for accessibility was the flooring. This is what our kitchen floor looked like around 9 years ago when the kitchen floor was first installed:. And this is what they look like today. It's pretty sad really. Oscar's launch pad to his food bowl). Abbey's spot when she comes in wet from the rain or snow and lays down (can you see her outline? And it would be true to the ho...

Plain Jane Victorian: Kitchen!
http://plainjanevictorian.blogspot.com/2013/04/kitchen.html
Thursday, April 11, 2013. I've been trolling on Pinterest and thumbing through This Old House magazines that are piled up in our house, trying to find an ideal kitchen layout to fit our house. The original plan that Michael Gelb drew up had the new kitchen in the new addition at the back of the house (same spot as the existing kitchen). Of course, we'd have to get rid of the chimney. But we don't have a real fireplace anyway. and the oil burner could be vented a different way. On This Old House. Now, we'...

Plain Jane Victorian: First Drafts of the New Floorplan
http://plainjanevictorian.blogspot.com/2013/12/first-drafts-of-new-floorplan.html
Saturday, December 14, 2013. First Drafts of the New Floorplan. Back in October we got some first round floor plans from Michael Gelb. Here is the first floor:. You'll notice first the front of the house stays as it currently exists. Then you walk back into the kitchen/dining. These plans also have only a half wall between the kitchen and the front living area. And here is the second floor:. If you continue through the door at the end of that hallway, you enter into the new master suite. There on the...

Plain Jane Victorian: MGZ done... back to DIY
http://plainjanevictorian.blogspot.com/2010/06/mgz-done-back-to-diy.html
Sunday, June 27, 2010. MGZ done. back to DIY. I should probably update this more than once a month. but working full time and being a mommy leaves precious little time for blog updates unfortunately! Anyway, MGZ finished the contract work on the garage. It looks so fantastic! Here's the grass - it's coming in pretty nicely. Jim waters it faithfully every morning and night. He also put in the gravel to keep the topsoil from splashing back up onto the siding when it rains. And in the front, you can also se...

Plain Jane Victorian: Obsessing over Color
http://plainjanevictorian.blogspot.com/2008/04/obsessing-over-color.html
Saturday, April 5, 2008. Now, it's a little hard to directly compare my house to, say, San Francisco ornate Victorians, because the style IS really quite different. Houses in this New England neighborhood tend to be much more basic. (I guess that's why they call it a "folk Victorian") But I think I can still do more with color on what I have. Here are the bay window details on some of my favorites in the books:. What do you think? Can you see what I'm missing? I have a few ideas. It may be too small to r...

Plain Jane Victorian: The Never-Ending Paint Project
http://plainjanevictorian.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-never-ending-paint-project.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. The Never-Ending Paint Project. Back for my yearly update. Seriously, I should keep this at least a little more updated. Oh well, so much to do, so little time these days. While I occupied our 2 1/2 year old this summer, Jim worked quite a bit on the front of the house, and his dad came over to help as well. Lots of scraping and sanding and painting. The trimwork had super thick layers of paint on it - all in horrible condition. October 25, 2012 at 10:47 AM. Lost in Michigan - Al...
