Have I used that post title before? There’s a distinct possibility I have. But anyway…it’s official…we have moved into our spa retreat…I mean master bedroom. Hello blissdom! The room isn’t very well decorated, still needs alot of organizational work, and heck…completely lacks curtains/blinds/window treatments of some sort but we can’t help the I-love-this-room-so-much feeling that … Read more
And we’re back in the master bedroom yet again for another riveting “where are we now” post. When we left off on Tuesday, things were looking a little like this: Walls were painted, window trim installed and stained, and bead board installed and painted on the slanty ceiling parts. Now batting for team bedroom reno…floor … Read more
Next up on the master bedroom renovation…more affectionately known as the renovation that never ends (not to be confused with the song that never ends)…the window trim. Colby cruised through the window trim installation and finishing like a mob car chased by the cops. Before I could snap a solitary picture, the window trim installation … Read more
I want some more of it. I tried…so hard…I can’t rise above it. Don’t know what it is but those little gals love it. I like it. I love it. I want some more of it. Bead board, that is. Now that the Tim McGraw intro is over. Now that song is stuck in your … Read more
My type A personality is apparently taking a much needed vacation. I had big plans for doing a “bedroom week” here on the blog to cover all the projects we’ve managed to tackle during our master bedroom renovation. But today, we took a little trip to the flea market in Searsport, Maine (my favorite flea … Read more
One month. One month to go and counting. As we keep creeping closer to the wedding, people keep asking me if I’m nervous. My answer. Yes and no. No about the getting married part (although Colby told me today that I should be…silly boy) and yes about getting everything done in time. At least everything … Read more
Over the last week, we have made some serious, SERIOUS progress in the master bedroom renovation. We’re talking there’s a slight possibility of moving back into the room this weekend…no joke. Thus, we’ve got some serious, SERIOUS updating to do with you. Next up, bedroom paint color decision time. We wanted a stony blue or … Read more
It’s here…the Pinterest Challenge Summer Edition reveal day. I’m so excited I may just skip! I love the Pinterest Challenge. Kudos to Katie Bower of Bower Power for starting this little tradition. I seem to need the kind of motivation that the Pinterest Challenge provides to tackle Pin-spired projects. Anywho, let’s cut right to the … Read more
Holy crazy town Batman! We were BUSY this weekend and I have so much to update you on. Between a Pinterest Challenge project and getting oh so close to moving back into our master bedroom there have been some exciting changes going on that I need to update you all on. But first things first, … Read more
A couple weeks ago we gave you a super quick sneak peak at our wedding invitations as we were madly assembling them. I mean, we were in and out of there so fast it was like the Flash over here at Angie’s Roost. But we’re back today with a more in depth look at those … Read more
Now that The master bedroom is all kinds of mudded and sanded, that means it’s prime time baby! Yes, that’s right, sanding is done and painting can begin! When we got done mudding and sanding the room, we were left with quite a mess. The floors were completely covered with dust and the whole room … Read more
I’m not gonna lie…I’ve really been dreading writing this post. It’s not that I’m against slinging mud, taping drywall seams, and sanding down joint compound, it’s just not my favorite thing. It’s time consuming and messy and dirty and it brings out my inner angry Angie. She’s definitely not cute…even in pink pumps. But it’s … Read more
And the award for the longest, most drawn out project here at Angie’s Roost goes to…the basement door in our dining room! Ding ding ding….we have a winner…come on down…the price is right! The door better hold onto and relish its title while it can because the kitchen closet saga is totally going to overtake … Read more
We’re just going to keep this little “how to fix old stuff” train right on rolling through. Yesterday we talked about how to restore old hardware and today we’re going to dive right in and do the how-to-fix-old-trim post. But first, let’s say hello to our basement dwelling friend, Mr. Einstein, who’s hanging out by … Read more
When we last left off in the dining room door refinishing project, we had finished priming and painting the door. Meaning we still had to fix the door casing, prime and paint the casing, and refinish the door hardware. Originally, I had planned to spray paint the hardware oil rubbed bronze. But when I told … Read more
I needed a quick and easy project this evening for a blog post. Why? Because A…my day job is consuming some serious time these days…B…we’ve been mudding/sanding fools upstairs in our master bedroom which is also time consuming (and doesn’t make for exciting posts)…and C…we just returned from our second straight weekend in Vermont. And … Read more
