Our kitchen and laundry room are in an addition that can be totally shut off from the rest of house so I can get stuff done late at night or early in the morning without disturbing anyone and there’s a washroom in there that seems really strange until you realize how convenient it is to be able to do laundry, bath the kids, and cook dinner all pretty much in the same room..

I just pressed them right in and they held on beautifully.They look pretty neat too.. A few extras for fanciness and I had just the look I wanted.. You might think it sounds crazy to try and use cardboard to make a chalkboard, but it really works just as well as any other surface once you get the paint on there.

That stuff is magic.. Here’s one in action!I’m pleased with it.Only one final tip: Try to remember to wipe your greasy fingerprints off of your labels before you photograph them to show the world.I’ve been working on a really quick little bathroom update for the last month or so, and of course, like on any project, there were lots of little imperfections.

I learned a long time ago that caulking is your best friend for filling gaps and covering up mistakes, especially in an old house like ours where nothing is square.I thought I knew what I was doing when I started, but I found quite a few little things that made the job easier and look a lot better in the end.

So I thought I’d share!.

First of all, there are two ways that you can do your caulking: before painting and finishing, and afterwards.At the time I took these photos, at least that little project was still half-done..

He went and finished tearing that down too!He even re-used the ramp wood for most parts of the stairs so they’re all perfectly aged like they’ve been there forever.. It’s looking less hilarious and more presentable back here by the second!

Now where’s the funny story in that?.Blink too long and all that horrible lattice will be gone too.. Oh, don’t worry though.
