I must say I was impressed – the whole process was so much slicker than trenching and laying in a new line. Two holes made it fairly non-invasive and then the fact that they can bend and pull a brand new line in like that was pretty amazing. I had intended to get the fence replaced but the rain just got here to fa...

Before any work had been done in the dining room:. Dining room Friday morning:. There is still a lot of trim work to do, paneling to build, install, plate rail to install, etc – but…WOW! That has to be one of my best before and after shots I’ve ever had. The full dining room gallery can be found here. Share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

We got the tree up a couple nights ago and I had to rest and hydrate after the grueling task of stringing bulbs. I was parched. Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window).

So Lucky: A New (old) Built-In | Portland FourSquare

Follow Blog Via Email. Join 572 other followers. So Lucky: A New (old) Built-In. June 7, 2013. 1950’s dining room built-in, in a 1910 house. Ugh. Well, for $100, I have procured a new (old) built-in. And upon close inspection, I have determined that it must be nearly identical to what I used to have. I kid you not – the size, style, trim, paneling, shelves – it is a damn near perfect match. 100 A HUNDRED DOLLARS! I can’t believe I pulled this off. Hmmm That’s not the back of lath.

Staining New Fir | Portland FourSquare

Follow Blog Via Email. Join 572 other followers. March 8, 2013. Making a bit of progress in the dining room. I have all the panels cut, assembled, sanded, and have began the finish work. The details around the windows and the bump out will be a bit of a challenge which I will be tackling this weekend. Here is a glimpse at where we currently stand…. Two coats of stain have been applied, but pre finish. Quite a bit of trim is missing from this photo, but it’s still progress. Full gallery is here. You are c...

Follow Blog Via Email. Join 572 other followers. Even a snail makes progress. May 7, 2014. It’s been quite some time since the last update on the dining room. You may recall that we had painted the dining room, had some new woodwork installed, and scored the ultimate steal/find of a built-in from the house next door. Needless to say, the built-in was a perfect fit. The paint color we had chosen for the walls; however, was not. The walls with windows are angled and the trim folds around the window stool a...

This is a work in progress but check back as it gets fine tuned – the new layout will be great in the long-term but is highlighting my lackadaisical blogging. Give me a few weeks and I’ll add all the rooms and their respective progress (or lack thereof). We love this room! It’s the first real room you see when you enter our house and it has wonderful, natural light throughout. As with most projects, this room reno spiraled out of control but the ...This ro...
