Attic Stairs Tread Repair

Our home was built in the 1880s, and like our home, the stairs going to the attic are very old. Not only are the stairs very narrow and steep, but over time, the treads have been worn down and many of them are broken. They are also very loud and squeaky when walking up and down.   Step 1 We started this stair project by adding some white smooth nickel gap shiplap from The Home Depot to the right side of the stairway. The addition of this shiplap mimicked the wood that was originally on the left side of the stairway. Adding […]

Our laundry room renovation this winter was such a fun project! From Derek’s first tile installation, finding the perfect neutral paint color for the cabinets (“Mouse’s Back” by Farrow and Ball, aka “Mouse’s Turd lol), to adding the highly debated cafe skirts.

When I have too many options in front of me that’s usually never a good thing

Now I LOVE wood floors, but all along we had planned to paint the floors because of the huge gaps and areas that needed to be patched. Painting allowed us to seal up the big gaps and repair/smooth out the dangerous spots while giving it a cohesive look. We knew that repairing, sanding, and refinishing them would be a TON
