doors before floors?

apparently so......I learned this today the hard way. Got laminate floors installed in July, and THEN decided I wanted new interior doors. I love my doors, which were installed today, ...»
BUT, since the floors were installed first, I now have a gap or two where the new frame doesn't cover the flooring. I am posting this for someone questioning which order to do this in. The funny thing is, my coworker and I just had this discussion this summer because she was doing both at the same time.

I now have to call back the flooring installer and hope he can do something for me that doesn't involve pulling up the floor and recutting. (which will not happen as far as I am concerned.) I did go purchase a new threshold and something called Pergo Sealant, which I may have to resort to to fill the gaps.

  • I made my valance from a black, red and white twill fabric which was $5.40 per yard.  It took 1 and 1/2 yards.  It's on a tension rod. 3
  • I could go on all day about these Little Debbie boxes.  I sprayed chalk paint, added ribbon and then used canning lids to anchor the labels.  I now have so much space in the cabinets as they are housing our extra lightbulbs! 2
  • All my laundry and cleaning supplies now are housed out of sight.
  • Every room should have a plant.  This little wall shelf was made by my husband.  I love the red poppy plates on the green walls.  They were in my attic. 1
  • Hey...vinegar and clothespins have a right to dress up every once in a while!
  • This plant is on top of my dryer.  It is on a very cheap small poster frame that is about 30 years old.  I put scrapbook paper in it.  By keeping a plant or something decorating on the dryer, I'll be less tempted to leave stuff about.
  • Gotta brag on the husband.  He made this for me. 1
  • Another shot of my valance and plates.  You don't have to sew to make this valance.  Fabric glue, good iron and a steady hand is all that is needed. 2

My Laundry Room Got Happy!

My laundry room was sad. It was a celery green which appeared more or a drab green with all the white. Enter black and red to brighten things up. I'm loving it!! I spent $30 on this redo. (I had the plates.)

This cabinet could also be used for can storage.

Kitchen Cabinets: Reface or Just Buy New?

Does anyone have experience with comparing the cost (and aggravation) of refacing kitchen cabinets versus just buying new? I honestly just install new cabinets and have no experience with ...»
only replacing the doors.

I recently priced out the cost of a standard shaker cabinet door for a 36 inch base cabinet and it was $57 for just plain poplar wood. So, two doors would be roughly $114.

The existing cabinets in these photos are laminate and they're in my Sister's newly purchased (35 year young) house from the 70s.

I'm looking for some thoughts and opinions. They are leaning toward buying IKEA cabinets with a shaker style. Thanks :)

Plastic spoon pendant light

Get a plastic bottle, lots of plastic spoons, hot glue and lots of patience and you have a gorgeous lamp! I made this for our hallway! I love turning it on and off! The economy lamp we used does not emit heat to melt the spoons or bottle!

Design & Décor: Furniture ideas for 60 inch tv

Any ideas on what to do with this wall to house a 60 inch tv (my husband insists on). This one on the stand is going away and we'll be buying a new one. It's a new house and the plan is to buy a console or wall unit, then rug (that one is ugly) then tall panel drapes I feel like since the room is so light a wall unit could seem to heavy. But a console might leave so much open space above the tv. Any ideas on what would look best? I do not have an eye for decorating and am at a ...»
lost. Behind the tv is a kitchen with cream cabinets and a cherry island. Thanks for your help.

    frame it in... under that you could run shelves for your cable box, x box, dvd player or dvd's... any of those little things.. and all the wires could be hidden then... hubby could put electric outlet anywhere in that "new" wall....
