E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial

Authors: Bungalow13

The taping off required for the basement staircase took probably more time than the actual demo...and when you add clean up to the prep, well, time consuming.  No wonder why contractors charge so much for demo when it requires taking Lead precautions.  So pretty much, the whole basement staircase reminded Steve of...

I have put together a bunch more pictures of Craftsman staircases (with the help of Sharon-thanks :) that do not have winders of any sorts/start in the living room or dining room and go straight up.  Looks like our new stair layout plan could have worked for an...

Where we live...

Authors: Bungalow13

 We trotted over to our neighborhood's clean up day and rummage sale this past Saturday.  After we scored a Tonka dump truck for $1 and a digger/loader for $0.50 (can you tell what our 2 year-old loves?),  Steve found a stack of the Rose City Park Neighborhood Street Signs. Brand new and for sale-SOLD. ...

A little demo here, a little there

Authors: Bungalow13

Every once in a while Steve gets quite the itch to demo something...and, well, this was one of those weekends.  Yesterday he decided that he should start demoing the plaster in the staircases.  While I generally oppose demo projects too early in the game, I agreed it was a good time to start. First of all, nice to...

Horse Troughs in the city

Authors: Bungalow13

this is 1'x2'x6' in size
Well, finally bit the bullet and did it. Guess u could consider it a Mother's day gift of sorts. Steve has been hankering for a horse trough for quite a long while now. Originally we wanted to go with one of the rusty-style ones but decided against it for several reasons.

1. We went with galvanized metal...

Countertop Conundrum

Authors: Bungalow13

Countertops-so many decisions.  A few weeks ago I had some time sans kiddos in the afternoon so I shuffled my booty over to the Basco appliance outlet, Schoolhouse electric (ok, this was just for fun and to drool a little while sipping on some coffee from Ristretto Roasters) and Pental Granite

They have an amazing...

A few months ago, I shared a...

The Yard coming into bloom

Authors: Bungalow13


A couple weekends ago, Steve and I decided to fill in a few spots in our front yard that seemed sparse.  We felt that all of our plants have had enough time to grow in and that we have  good feel of what the yard looks like year round.  I think that we have the open areas because we did not lay out our plants...
