About Me:

1860 victorian home owner thats chock full of character whos looking to make it into a reflection of HOME for our family. Victorian decor is not our style, but rather an eclectic, vintage, collected over time look. We've got two daughters, 2 kitties and a beagle. Oh yeah, and now we're walking through the cleanup process after a fire.

Favorite area of home improvement:

kitchen, choosing paint colors, a cohesive look, refinishing a vintage dining room set

  • We removed the old blue laminate counters and installed Virginia Jet Mist granite and small marble subway tile backsplash. 3
  • New faucet is fun and instant hot water is awesome for tea time! 3
  • Waterstone Towson series
  • Lazy Susan's with magnetic spice jars in an otherwise waste of space are within easy visible reach with sliding ladder (or 6'2" cooking husband) and antique chicken feeder becomes a cook book library. 1
  • We removed vinyl and luan.  The original hardwood was in bad shape and only in half of the kitchen due to an addition at some point in our old home's history.
  • Virginia Jet Mist granite - dark charcoal color with white veining, honed finish.
  • Big difference from what we started with! 1
  • Cabinets are painted with Benjamin Moore's Satin Impervo (color is Moonshine, actually gray/not white). We love the durable finish and that the grain still shows through. 2
  • An original pantry cupboard. We added a clock mechanism right into the door, numbers are vinyl. 2
  • The original single door was replaced with French doors letting in lots of natural light. 2
  • We love that the patio is right off the kitchen with a view of our 50' grape arbor/gazebo. Cleaning and entertaining are so convenient. 1
  • Kitchen before.
  • I love this old chunky piece as use as a Butler's pantry. Storage for good dishes, cookbooks and spices. 3
  • Decorative and functional.
  • Buffet/pantry.
  • Zero radius stainless steel sink.

We're in the process of transforming our kitchen on a budget to fit our style.

We painted cabinets, swapped out hardware, painted walls, installed new granite countertops, new zero radius sink and faucets, marble subway tile backsplash, removed vinyl and luan and ...»
opted for distressed bamboo when the old original wood floor didn't match up with the plywood addition, removed a pantry and installed a pot rack and French doors. We still need a stove backsplash, baseboards, DIY kitchen island and a larger refrigerator. This is our forever home and we love the change.

  • Dog gate built using shutters 4

My first share -- I wanted something a little nicer and more permanent than a baby gate to try and keep our three dogs

out of the living room. (One of the dogs is old and has ... problems of the floor-ruining sort.) I'd bought these old shutters at a yard sale a few months back and by attaching two and a half of them together and securing them at the top and bottom with trim, they made a perfect gate. Took less than an hour start to finish.
