Our Concrete Home
Our blog chronicles our adventures around our 1952 concrete block house.
Blog of the Month - October 2011
Over at Our Concrete Home, Andrea, Nate, and their two feline friends (Pixel & Loki) are busy making their concrete block house a home. Since purchasing their 1950's house in 2009, they've filled their blog with details on all kinds of DIY projects (including painting inside and out, replacing windows and doors, removing tired landscaping and tearing out old flooring, to name a few). Alongside their project work, they're sharing some decorating inspiration, their entertaining adventures, and the experience of being featured on Bath Crashers. Our personal favorite, though, are the Feline Friday posts featuring all of Pixel and Loki's mischief … they make us smile every time! Be sure to stop on over and get to know this great blog … we're sure you won't be disappointed!

As I mentioned yesterday, Nate and I had a very relaxing Winter Break. We didn’t touch the bathroom remodel at all. Instead we hung out with friends and family plus spent some quality time vegging out on the couch.
I also tried to stay off the internet and even did a five-day iPhone detox. (I know…crazy talk!) The...

Happy New Year!
Today’s my first day back in the real world after a restful two-week break. Nate and I really tried to do nothing at all except enjoy a little solitude along with frequent visits with friends and family. I’ll be doing a post of our holiday tomorrow, but I wanted to start today with my first home...

We waited until Saturday, December 8th to get our Christmas tree. Every year its a little of a mental battle for me to decide when its the perfect time for the tree. Last year, we got ours the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was dead by Christmas. Drat.
Nate claims we have never gone to Home Depot for a tree as a couple. I am not...

Late one night last week, Nate thought he saw something moving on our back porch. Something big and furry was rummaging in our flower bed in the back porch.
It wasn’t the cats. Both of them were inside by this time of night. They don’t like to stay out late when its cold outside.
We walked over to our floor to ceiling...

It’s been a while since I’ve written an update on the prison bathroom. To update the cracked, old ceiling, we sanded off all the old paint and flakes and then hired a professional to skim coat it for us. Nate really wanted a smooth finish and didn’t think he could execute it well.
Unfortunately even with the...
