(Day-Lab DIY) I know we are soooo not even close to getting to the kitchen, but I want to post this picture now for future reference. Take a look at Amy Shutt’s before-and-after photos from her low-budget kitchen renovation. Again, it is totally amazing what paint can do. Her tutorial and advice are worth taking […]

shag carpet linoleum
By Adam in Master BedroomHere is a picture of the shag carpet linoleum Anna was talking about on her site. This resides in my bedroom closet and under the carpet in the rest of the room. I am hoping there are plank floors underneath that I can paint because that will save me a fortune in new flooring! Plus […]
rehab inspiration
By Anna at D16 in Anna Says..., Inspiration & Ideas, Scavenged Stuff(DesignSponge) Keep rehab projects like this one in mind going forward! With yard sale season upon us, be on the lookout for inexpensive pieces of solid wood furnture with good lines (like the long, tapered legs on this little table). For a few bucks, you can probably find some pieces that can be rehabilitated with […]
floors, more options
By Anna at D16 in Anna Says..., Inspiration & Ideas, Master BedroomDo you think Chloe would try to eat a rug like this? Flor tiles are like finished squares of carpet that stick to the floor (but are removable and washable). This could be a nice option for a long rug at the foot of the bed. Not as thrifty as the IKEA options, though. FLOR […]

Don’t be afraid of pink or florals! I know they get written off as being feminine, I think there’s a boldness to the usage here […]
more inspiration
By Anna at D16 in Anna Says..., Inspiration & Ideas, Master Bedroom(both images from Living Etc) Adam commented on both of these bedrooms in my Flickr stream, so I’ll add them here for future reference!
the bedroom (as it currently is)
By Adam in Master BedroomSo here are some pictures of what my bedroom looks like right now. PRETTY UGLY! I have been putting off doing anything with it as I have been concentrating on the areas of the house that other people see. But lately I have been feeling that I am short-changing myself having to look at such […]
my house
By Adam in Exterior, Whole HouseAnna has been busy posting so I thought I had better get in the game! This is “Adam’s House”. It was built in 1812 of locally quarried Potsdam Sandstone. Thankfully it was very well maintained by the previous owners, a couple who with their 2 children lived here for almost 50 years. The problem is […]

windows and floors
By Anna at D16 in Anna Says..., Inspiration & Ideas, Master BedroomThe damask curtains should be hung above the window so the bottom edge just grazes the floor. The black rod should be mounted wide enough so the curtains, when opened, will allow maximum daylight to enter the room. The white curtain should be mounted just inside the closet opening. The grommets will allow it to […]
