The Gibbons House: Some Curb (and Roof) Appeal
http://gibbonshome.blogspot.com/2010/10/some-curb-and-roof-appeal.html
Follow us as we rehab our first home in Baltimore, Maryland. Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Some Curb (and Roof) Appeal. Time for a little curb appeal. The blind in the front window is a definite improvement over the brown paper bags. We ordered it online from www.selectblinds.com. And are really happy with it. The way it was made/mounted we are able to still have privacy but allow light to come inside. And, finally, a door! Here's what it looks like from the inside:. Up on the roof. Posted by Lori Gibbons.

The Gibbons House: April 2010
http://gibbonshome.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Follow us as we rehab our first home in Baltimore, Maryland. Sunday, April 25, 2010. Back in February, I held a poll regarding countertops. It was very helpful and forced me to research many different countertop options. While granite was the most popular choice, 16% of you voted for concrete. I also voted for concrete, so concrete wins. Last Friday, Sam and I visited the Lukeworks. The process cannot start until we install the kitchen cabinets. Once that task is completed, Mark will come and take al...

The Gibbons House: August 2010
http://gibbonshome.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Follow us as we rehab our first home in Baltimore, Maryland. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. The Gibbons House in New Jersey just got a little cuter! My brother-in-law, Josh, and sister-in-law, Nezie, brought home the most adorable baby boy on Friday (dressed in full-on Ohio State gear). Cole Joshua Gibbons was born on Tuesday, August 24th and I couldn't wait to meet him! We went to visit Friday night and, needless to say, I am absolutely in love with him and really excited to be an aunt! Posted by Lori Gibbons.

The Gibbons House: Productive Weekend
http://gibbonshome.blogspot.com/2010/12/productive-weekend.html
Follow us as we rehab our first home in Baltimore, Maryland. Tuesday, December 7, 2010. This weekend was a very productive one in the Gibbons house. It is amazing how much housework can be accomplished when (1) We stay in town for an entire weekend and, (2) Ohio State doesn't play a football game on Saturday. Here's a picture of our two biggest improvements:. We painted the living room Behr Classic Silver and, more importantly, we finally. Replaced our cardboard window treatments with real blinds. Wow ev...

http://gibbonshome.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Follow us as we rehab our first home in Baltimore, Maryland. Sunday, May 30, 2010. There isn't much at the house to blog about this week. The walls are still in the process of being finished. Here are a few pictures of that:. Sam and I, however, have been making a lot of purchases. We will be ready for those, hopefully not-so-distant days, when it is time to prime/paint and install the kitchen, floors and tile. I may have mentioned this quickly in a previous post but,. First Floor, half bathroom:. We wen...

Follow us as we rehab our first home in Baltimore, Maryland. Thursday, December 31, 2009. On the eve of 2010, Sam and I would like to thank a few people who we spent a lot.

The Gibbons House: Fine Dining
http://gibbonshome.blogspot.com/2012/07/fine-dining.html
Follow us as we rehab our first home in Baltimore, Maryland. Sunday, July 22, 2012. We went a long while without a formal dining room table. It didn't seem a huge priority since we had ample room in the kitchen (or in the living room, in front of the TV). In our minds, an ideal table needed to start with a solid, thick piece of quality wood- new or reclaimed. Then, to give the table a modern feel, simple, modern legs. Much of one thing, or another. To save space and money, Sam also built a matching bench...
