We really like projects. Well, at least I really do. I think Josh does, or at least he just lets me start them. We have had a lot of fun with this house. It needed a lot of work when we moved in. (
that's what you get with a foreclosure, along with an amazing deal) At our last house we felt we had done a lot. Painting small upgrades to fixtures and things like that. We did
completely gut the master bath, but my dad really did most of that. When we bought this house there were lots of things we needed to change, so we decided to go big (and when I say "big", I mean credit card debt) and do the things we really wanted, not just cheap. We love doing the projects ourselves, and frankly, we couldn't afford to hire them out. We have learned how to do so many things too. In our new house we have painted just about every wall, changed out almost all the fixtures, re-did the basement, and the biggest one was laying over 700sq feet of hardwood floors. Whew! It was exhausting. i had a list of all the things I wanted to get done to the house after the move, and almost a year later, we have finished the last project on that list. Tiling the
back splash. Josh and I have never tiled before. We decided that the
back splash would be a great start, and I am pretty dang excited with how it turned out. I am so ready to start making a new list of projects, and you can bet that tiling something will be on it.
Our guest bathroom better watch out. It is totally next.

dang girl! You are so handy dandy! It looks so great!
Dani! That turned out amazing! Will you teach me how to do it now? I looks great!
How fun! We LOVE doing stuff like that too! Eventually we plan on having a business to do it, but right now we just do it for fun, on the side. Isn't it the BEST feeling in the world knowing that you fixed your house yourself? It really makes it so much more of a home!
Beautiful!! Good job Dani!
