Bathroom Painting, Shower Door, And A Number Craft

The good news is that I don’t have strep throat.  The bad news is it is bronchitis and I am lurking around with my antibiotics, tylenol, an inhaler while leaving a trail of tissues.  Since LJ and Will are also on antibiotics, you can imagine how fun the Bower house is right now.  #likeatoddlerdancevideo So since I […]

It All Started With a Woodpecker.

About a week and a half ago, I was woken from a nap by the sound of a woodpecker kicking in my front door. Kidding. I mean, he was making noise, and it was actually a pretty tiny hole, but it also happened to be taking place on the exterior of the house directly behind my headboard (which is […]

Guest Bath – Niche and Waterproofing

The biggest thing I learned with the guest bathroom shower project was how important it is to seal little tiny cracks.  One tiny crack = big gross problems.  That same equation applies to children.  Just sayin… So anyhoo…today’s post is a continuation of the last guest bathroom post where we talked about the way to […]
