What we do best


Home improvement!

Now we can add 'remove wallpaper' to the list of DIY home projects we've mastered!

Before. Although I really liked the pattern of the wallpaper, it was peeling, dirty, and perhaps hiding mold... so off it came.

Wallpaper leaves behind an awful mess of glue, we diligently washed/mudded/sanded until the walls were smooth again.

And voila! Primer plus two coats of semi-gloss paint, it feels like a brand new bathroom.
Beautiful shiny walls.

New light fixture. This was an incredible garage sale find, new in the box!

I have to give huge appreciation to Taylor on this project. The molds from the bathroom made me pretty sick, and there were a couple days I was totally laid up and Taylor slaved away to get things done as fast as possible!
