Build - Fix - Do
Welcome back for round three of this year’s One Room Challenge. If you missed the previous weeks, let me quickly catch you up by saying that I am doing a renovation of my dining room and turning it into a dining/home office. This week’s project is to install a chevron plank ceiling. But not just any planked ceiling. This one is going inside my already beautiful tray ceiling.
Welcome back, folks! I have just completed week two of my six-week One Room Challenge. For this week, I wanted to establish a nice neutral color to serve as a canvas for my dining room to home office renovation. That is why I chose to paint with Sherwin William’s Repose Gray.
Over the years of renovating homes, I have come across a lot of iffy looking tile floors. Extremely dirty tile grout is generally the cause for making tiles appear past their life. But due to my obsession with having clean floors, I eventually found the solution to revive tile floors and make grout and tile look like new again.
Yes, this is going to be one of those posts where I tell you a story. But storytelling is sometimes the best way to relate a solution. This particular story is about the time that my son nearly destroyed a very expensive microwave, and what I did to save it. So, if you need to remove burnt odor smell from your microwave and it seems like all is lost, take a deep breath and let me tell you how I saved our smelly disaster.
I love making things look a little spooky for Halloween. One of my favorite projects to do is to make some scary vintage book covers. I made these back in 2015 and shared it with Hometalk. Since then, these have been replicated so many times that I lost count. I thought that this would be a good time to dust off the old books and republish this easy DIY.
