I mustache you a question…does Colby have something on his face? I was sifting through photos on my mac this evening, trying to play blogger catch up after the craziness of opening an Etsy shop has subsided just a tad, when I realized I missed a complete step in our bathroom remodel, specifically with transforming the buffet into a vanity. Egads! Oh the insanity! We missed the back splash! How [...]

So I owe you guys a little tutorial on how we made that rope shelf that we revealed for the Spring Pinterest Challenge. And since I don’t like owing things, here she blows. A full blown tutorial on how we filled that empty wall with a rope/scrap wood/pulley shelf in our bathroom. I would like to say it was easy…but that would be a lie. And if there’s one thing [...]

Do you remember the dancing banana/peanut butter jelly time video on YouTube? Here is a refresher. That’s what I get stuck in my head every time a Pinterest Challenge rolls around. Except that it’s more like, “Piiiiin-ter-ist challenge time…piiiiiin-ter-ist challenge time…pin’trst challenge, pin’trst challenge, pin’trst challenge”. You’re welcome…for getting it stuck in your head too. So without further ado, I bring you the spring Pinterest Challenge reveal day…drum roll not [...]

Just call me Kevin Costner (circa 1999 when he filmed Message In A Bottle). Except nix the “message” part and replace with “vitamins”. And with that, I give you our “vitamin in a bottle” vitamin organization project result. Shortly after installing the first aid cabinet in our bathroom, which was also going to house Colby’s vitamin collection, I scrounged up all the cabinet items and set it up to get a [...]

So this happened this weekend. First aid cabinet go boom! Ever since we posted these little pics of the bathroom, after we first painted it a minty green, I knew that I wanted to fill that empty space above the toilet paper holder with a first aid cabinet. So the other day, when I went down to the Brewer School House Antique Mall, I super scored on the purchase of [...]

So last night I whipped out my glue gun…and made us a little toothbrush holder for our recently refreshed bathroom (you can check out some of the bathroom posts including painting the bathroom mint, finding an old buffet on Craigslist to turn into a vanity, how we hacked the buffet, and then painted it, and installed it). Anyway…back to the project…wha-bam! Seriously…there’s nothing I can’t do with a glue. Except [...]

And this time not to each other (been there…done that…maybe someday after I sift through thousands of amazing photos you’ll get to read about it too). But this hitching relates to plumbing…bathroom plumbing…and how we cut a hole in the back of our Craigslist buffet find turned bathroom vanity and hitched up the plumbing. Teeth brushing in the tub is no longer a “normal” thing around here. Oh…and have you [...]

It took us a couple of weeks, but we recently took our bathroom from this: To this: Boom! And might I remind you that it used to look like this: Double boom! Any excuse to whip out that picture. Man…our bathroom was a whole lotta ugly! And cramped. Opening it up and removing all the strange nooks made a world of difference. And now with a lighter, more airy hue [...]

So we’ve shown you the progress we made with the bathroom vanity(a Craigslist buffet find, that we modified, and then painted Gray Owl by Benjamin Moore) but we haven’t yet shown you the bathroom progress. Game day bucket go boom: We’ve been busy bees. Can you tell?! We not only removed the “temporary”, been there for three years, painted plywood vanity this past weekend, but we also patched the walls, [...]

Ding dong the witch is dead vanity is done. And all it took was two solid weekends of priming and painting. I wish I was kidding. And of course, in true Angie fashion, I anticipated total painting time of about four hours max…wrong! More like four hours max just to prime the body of the thing! Isn’t that always the case? Please tell me I’m not the only one who way [...]

Welcome to Angie's Roost (and Colby's Hen House) where you'll find daily posts about our misadventures in DIY home improvement. We bought a 100+ year old home that desperately needed some love and blogged about our entire adventure.
Use wood glue and a stencil to block the stain. Beautiful.
