beds and bedrooms
Image
i made this bed from a kit. after much deliberation, i decided to modernize it by painting it gold. i managed to put the two bottom posts in backwards and couldn't get them out, so i just have to go with it. it's less noticeable from the sides. boy, am... Continue reading

new rug
Image
i just made this rug for a room that i think will be a study. it took a few tries to get it right. the first rug that i made used a slightly heavier yarn and not only was it too heavy for the job, but the colors were all... Continue reading

Image

Unfortunately, i won't... Continue reading

operation livingroom

i just finished installing the baseboard between the 2 doors and the trim around the french door. i had a horrible time cutting the trim. getting the angles and the measurements right is just not something that i'm good at. i wasted a good bit of trim trying to figure... Continue reading

baseboards, oh my!
Image
i've been installing baseboards. i wasn't able to get the elusive 45 degree angle to work on these, so i'm installing without them. it worked pretty well on the moulding, but i just can't for the life of me figure it out here. and besides, one would have to be... Continue reading

and we're staining... again.
Image
i decided to overcome my natural inertia and put on a second coat of stain. i sanded, then stained a second time, and then sanded again. i'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. the hardest part of installing the flooring was cutting tiny pieces to go along the edges.... Continue reading

adventures in flooring
Image
my wood flooring arrived all the way from China. you would think it was something super rare and special to have to order it from all the way around the world, but alas, and sadly, like many things it was much cheaper to purchase it there. now that i'm typing... Continue reading

bathroom done!
Image
i hadn't intended to finish the bathroom first, but it's a small room with easy components, so i was able to breeze through. i used a cardboard template of the room to cut the tile flooring and then i glued the floooring in. initially, i hadn't planned on using baseboards... Continue reading

more moulding
Image
this room will be the kitchen/dining area with a room divider separating the two. i'm a bit concerned with how small the rooms will become with the divider in between. mistake #1, after putting in wallpaper and ceiling paper and i'm having a hard time even getting the room divider...

moulding done!
Image
it took me forever to get up the nerve to work on the moulding. initially, i bought a tiny saw and miter box, but i thought the potential to screw that up was too great, so i took it back and exchanged it for an ez-cutter. i have a very... Continue reading
