Decide to cover the wh...

If you've ever cooked like this! If the only reason you didn't have to eat take-out today was because you own a barbeque and a plug-in electric burner.

The Never-Ending-Reno Project: Another Vintage Find
http://renovating1904.blogspot.com/2014/03/another-vintage-find.html
The quest to put the old back in our 109-year-old house (with some modern conveniences) and other fun with salvaged materials and power tools. Sunday, March 23, 2014. Yesterday we were out for breakfast on Mississippi Ave, and as is often the case this was followed by a romp through the ReBuilding Center. We really do love this place! My only dilemma is that base is silver, and the other fittings are brass - do I spray the base an antique brass, or spray everything a darker bronze? Pratt and Larson Tile.

The Never-Ending-Reno Project: Front Entry
http://renovating1904.blogspot.com/p/front-entry.html
The quest to put the old back in our 109-year-old house (with some modern conveniences) and other fun with salvaged materials and power tools. This is a great space, and one of the convincing factors in our buying the house in the first place. While open to the adjoining spaces on two sides, it still acts like a separate-enough room that you don't feel as though you're walking directly into your living room from the porch. Make a wall-mounted coat rack solution. Create some kind of a shoe storage solution.
