flamingo artifacts: beginning again
http://flamingoartifacts.blogspot.com/2008/11/beginning-again.html
Sunday, November 30, 2008. Today we started in on the hallway. It is the smallest room in the house so we thought it would be "easy". Now i have watched enough renovation projects to know that none of this is "easy" but still - i was/am naive. Really, i am just glad to be doing something. Hopefully the project will keep me from the brink of seasonal depression. Or it could drive me over the edge. Guess it could go either way. We'll see. But at least my hallway will be "Kona brown.".

http://flamingoartifacts.blogspot.com/2008/09/kitchen-run-through.html
Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Back in the spring Kris and I slowly but surely began renovating our kitchen. It started with the floors and the new stairs to the basement, which is all I have posted about s. O far So I thought it was time to play catch up.this is how it began. Our biggest issue was the size, no matter what appliances we bought, floor we remodeled or counters we installed, there wasn't even a drawer in this kitchen! The silverware lived on a shelf next to the refrigerator.its was bad!

Thursday, September 18, 2008. Once the long piece was in and secure, we had to tackle the removal of the orignal formica on the other side. We really held off on this because it meant no sink while we made the cuts, applied the coats of tung oil and moved it into place. Links to this post. Thursday, September 11, 2008.

flamingo artifacts: shelf project
http://flamingoartifacts.blogspot.com/2008/09/shelf-project.html
Wednesday, September 10, 2008. After finding some inspiration for our kitchen project in these images. I knew a few things that I definitely wanted in the design. Lots of white (but different textures). Open shelving so that I could display my favorite kitchen finds. So here is the beginning pictures of our open shelf project. We took the three longest cabinet doors off and moved the existing shelves to create the proportions and grid we wanted and, built face fra. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

flamingo artifacts: December 2008
http://flamingoartifacts.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 1, 2008. Night #2 of work on the hallway. I have been thinking a lot about the home spreads in Anthropologie catalogs which show all of these beat up, halfway wallpapered, cracks everywhere walls. That is pretty much what my house looks like. And for some reason i feel like i need to paint it and make it look all fresh and clean and normal. Whatever. I am a long way off. Here is what i did tonight. But everything that i came home with looked like a submarine. Links to this post.

Tuesday, August 26, 2008. Since we've been in the middle of kitchen construction almost all spring and summer, our screened pack porch has become a storage area.until now!

We got these two wicker chairs for 15 dollars this weekend at a yard sale and the table at an antique store a few weeks ago (I've been preparing for this! Links to this post.
