I started this project ages ago. Remember this montage of funny faces and a headband slipping further and further back on my head?After telling you all about the chair and sharing the journey of ripping it apart, I wanted to appear awesome and come back with a full reveal of a finished chair, say, a month...

Today is Good Friday. I'll be spending the day at church and with family to acknowledge the sacrifice of Christ. That means this post was written yesterday! I know, crazy. I am sending happy Easter thoughts your way this weekend! I hope it is a long weekend full of blessings and rest for you, whether you celebrate...Housiversary Celebration Part Three: The Befores and Afters

As promised, today I'm going to show you just exactly the amount of change we've experienced over the past year of living in This Dusty House. I love looking back at our before pictures. They give me the opportunity to marvel at what we've done, two ordinary people with a little bit of a know-how, plenty of help,...

Early followers of This Dusty House will know I talked quite a bit about the floor plan changes we've done. I know it's hard to visualize these through pictures and before and afters become deceptive when the kitchen we have is not even in the same place as the kitchen that once existed. So, before I present our...Housiversary One

In keeping with my general inability to properly commemorate blog anniversaries and special dates, I allowed our first anniversary of owning this house to drift past unnoticed.Well, perhaps not completely unnoticed. I may have mentioned it to the husband when I got home from the OOAK show. But we didn't do...

On Saturday, three lovely friends and I took to the aisles of the One Of A Kind Show at the Ex. I was absolutely blown away by the show, yet went home with nothing. Why? I'm often an impulse shopper, but over the years, those impulses have not generally worked out so well for me. I am familiar with the concept of...One Of A Kind Show

Thanks to two amazing bloggers, April from Money Pit Love and Christine from Bijou and Boheme (Go read their stuff! You'll love it.) myself and two friends are headed to the One Of A Kind show tomorrow afternoon. (I know... it seems greedy winning two giveaways at once, but my friends are grateful!) I...
The Process: Kitchen Tile Part III

Have you ever noticed that, when a homeowner is taking part in a renovation with the HGTV crew, they always get put on the task of tiling? You know why?Because it's super easy. A little messy, perhaps, but easy none-the-less. Also, depending on how much you're tile, it doesn't even take that long. Our small...

As promised, after yesterday's teasing sneak peak...It's a backsplash!
I have no idea how we managed to find such a perfect tile for our kitchen. If you'll remember from my post yesterday, we picked it on a whim on a trip to Rona for paint. We weren't expecting to even look at tile. We saw it; we bought...

Happy Monday!As planned, the Husband and I took one big step back from our mudroom project. It's not finished yet... we still need to source doors for the pantry cupboard, sand and paint the closet, add trim, tile the entry floors, carpet the stairs, and build our bench, shelf and coat racks. Lots to do. But...
