This Old Clintonville House
Creating a Warm and Cozy Living Room
This living room had good bones: two 9 pane exterior doors, original wood floors, original windows, unpainted woodwork, tall ceilings and a fireplace. (We’ll ignore the fact that it wasn’t a functioning fireplace.) We had the floors professionally refinished by Tony at Cavalier Floors. He also repaired a hole where we had an electrician moveContinue reading “Creating a Warm and Cozy Living Room”
The Story of How I Almost Got Divorced (aka Adding an Addition Onto Your Old Home)
This blog post is a little different as it doesn’t involve a before and after reveal of a room, but I’ve gotten several questions about the process of doing an addition so I wanted to address it.

IContinue reading “How To: Build a Built-In Bench (on a budget and with no skills of any kind)”
