Our Shower Remodel: MY SHOWER DOOR BROKE! . . . . DIY TO THE RESCUE?
http://kanikamarshallshowerremodel.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-shower-door-broke-diy-to-rescue.html
Friday, April 15, 2011. MY SHOWER DOOR BROKE! DIY TO THE RESCUE? So I'm taking a shower the other day, but when I tried to step out of the shower, the glass door split apart from the frame, thus wedging me inside the shower. Help! Had my partner not been there to open the door from the outside, I would have had to open a can of whoop-a on my shower door just to get out! I did not want to touch that door ever again! So what was I going to do? Go to work and deal with the problem later. But my space is too...

Our Shower Remodel: INTREPID OR CRAZY?
http://kanikamarshallshowerremodel.blogspot.com/2011/04/intrepid-or-crazy.html
Saturday, April 30, 2011. After finally putting together my wet saw after it sat for a couple of years in my garage, I was able to finish tiling the step into the shower. While not wholly satisfied with it because some of the edges did not line up as perfectly as I would have liked, it was pretty much done. Trowel time. I troweled about 15"x13" swaths and pressed and tapped the clay and glass tiles in place. I was pretty much done with the side wall by 10 AM! Time to tackle the big wall. Next was adding ...

Our Shower Remodel: GROUT, GROUTING, GROUTED
http://kanikamarshallshowerremodel.blogspot.com/2011/04/grout-grouting-grouted.html
Saturday, April 30, 2011. GROUT, GROUTING, GROUTED. This continues the saga of our shower remodel with mosaic tiles and glass. I pulled myself out of bed at 8 AM, after almost 7 hours of sleep from tiling until late last night. A quick trip to Home Depot to get some "Sahara" tan-colored grout and I was ready. Check Bowl for mixing the water with grout? Check Tarp the cover the work area? Check Right shoulder ready for several more hours of straining it? I did it this way because the grout had been a litt...

Our Kitchen Remodel: December 2009
http://marshallkitchen.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
This is a daily diary of activities we experienced in remodeling our kitchen, from total demolition to rebuild. Thursday, December 31, 2009. 12/30/09 - Day 54 - NEW LIGHTS! Greg added another set of sockets and hooked my under-cabinet lights to a new switch that also controlled the new pendant lights over the peninsula. What a romantic glow. This setting will be perfect or watching TV. Just enough light to get water from the refrigerator. This is what all three zones on look like. I purposely painted the...

http://marshallkitchen.blogspot.com/2010/01/day-66-11010-all-tiles-in-place.html
This is a daily diary of activities we experienced in remodeling our kitchen, from total demolition to rebuild. Friday, January 15, 2010. 1/10/10 - Day 66 - All Tiles In Place! Now for the last wall! I laid out the pattern onto the countertop, then troweled on the thin-set morter in swirls on the wall. Putting the tiles on, one by one. Almost finished with the 2x2" tiles. I may cut some tiles diagonally to form a curved line from below the cabinet to the edge of the countertop. Success around the sockets.

Our Kitchen Remodel: November 2009
http://marshallkitchen.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
This is a daily diary of activities we experienced in remodeling our kitchen, from total demolition to rebuild. Sunday, November 22, 2009. My Kitchen Remodel Inspired by Mom. The updated house was very beautiful, but I was sad because mom was unable to experience these great changes while she was alive. One day in November 2007, I had a "fix-it" bee in my bonnet and impulsively got some of my many paint cans and started painting the kitchen cabinets. There was no plan except to try different colors, ...

It must have rolled under the refrigerator, ...

Our Shower Remodel: TOO GARISH? TOO BORING?
http://kanikamarshallshowerremodel.blogspot.com/2011/04/too-garish-too-boring.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. So the step was ready for tile, but what colors should cover the tile? I had made so many cool tiles that I initially thought I should use 'em, even though most of my recent tile efforts had exploded all over the kiln:. I quickly came up with this layout:. How horrible is that? Maybe just white tiles for the step since the walls are going to be so colorful (this white fabric approximates all white tile):. How about a mixture of white and colored tiles?
