Here are a couple of DIY projects we have in our dining room.  A side note, the dining room is the first room you walk in when you enter our rowhouse.  This works quite well for us - not because our dining room has a front door, but because the living room / kitchen creates a great space for both entertaining and living.

...and we're back.  While the blog has collected dust, progress at Project Rowhouse has continued.  Here's to some spring cleaning.

master bedroom; the big show

Authors:

Sorry about the hiatus.
First. A few things about the show. We'd do it all over again. Seeing the house looking fantastic on TV was quite rewarding after all the work we've done. Also, watching ourselves was surprisingly not as painful as expected. We are good looking dudes.
