This is my new home office and entertainment room. I just recently completed this home improvement project. Quite happy with it. Much roomier and it's definitely a lot more comfortable of a place for the family to hang out.

You've wondered what the Marmoleum I'll be putting down soon looks like. Well, here it is, laid out for my feline master's amusement: the darker is "arabesque" and the lighter is "virgin blue". I have no idea how they arrived at either of those names.
after a months-long struggle with lack of motivation and paint stripper, the bike room is painted! and the nasty carpet has been removed! now all that's left is to sand and paint the window frames, the windows themselves, pull & paint the baseboards, nail in some quarter round trim, and either re-finish the floor or call it 'done'.
Did some paint touch-up work and then put in a few baskets and racks from Target, our home away from home.
The hall bathroom in our 1983 house needed a little facelift, and while it's still not ideal, it's miles better than it started out!

sofa upholstery would be performance leather. Performance materials are extremely comfortable, stain resistant, and also stand up to the test of time amidst high traffic areas in a home.
If you like to host parties and entertain guests, then you will need a sofa that can accommodate those guests. A basic leather sofa, perhaps covered in a rich fabric, would be ideal.
At right: This is the 'hardwire' to the range hood, which I removed yesterday. The new vented microwave will use an outlet, the jack and box for which I have obtained (that silver block on the second shelf) and will rig and install in the new cabinet once I get said cabinet on the wall.
At left: The house was built without outlets on this wall in the kitchen (good goin'!); someone previous retrofit an outlet for the refrigerator in the middle of the wall behind the fridge area, but this doesn't provide functionality for the workspace. So before I tile over the counter, I might as well install an outlet. By code it should probably be GFI but none of the other outlets in my kitchen are. Hell, the ones on the other wall are two-prong.
So I figured I could go into the attic, drop a line down the inside of the wall to where the outlet should be, then connect the other end to wherever the range hood's wire eminates from. Never mind that this house was built without junction boxes to make this simple, this wire is coming through the wall so it's gotta be directly above.
Uh. No. Not because of a slight goof-up... I can't freaking find the source of this wire. There aren't any wires like that directly above. Like everything else upstairs, the way it was put there makes no sense. But I know that it's on the same circuit as the outlets on the other wall, which I did put a junction box on when I was replacing the kitchen lights, so I wound up running an extra six feet of wire to get to that junction box. All is well and functional.
The cement backerboard is up and a hole cut for the outlet... Now I can start tiling there.

One of the fun things about renovating a house, or a room of a house, is finding out what previous owners did then tried to fix or cover up. Such is the case of the three drawers under the closet in the familyroom. This particular thing I can't level squarely at the previous owners because the house was built in 1959 with three different size drawers. I give credit to the guy for trying to make sure that he made all the drawers fit the holes, hoping no one would ever notice that they are 26 3/4", 27", and 26 5/8" respectively. Sorry, I noticed, because the painted wood panel fronts needed to come off to be replaced with nicer wood. Also, this one I presume was done by the previous crackheads: the center drawer front was reattached with a quart of wood glue and 43 nails. And not even straight, it was half an inch lower than the other two. Yes, I counted the nails.
So in today's photo you see the finished middle drawer on the left, the right drawer with the face removed directly in front of you, and the left drawer as yet untouched on the right. The left drawer on your right got to wait until last because it was the one that needed contact paper removed. Good thing I still had that wallpaper remover from the kitchen project and a scraper blade for the Dremel Multi-Max.
All three drawer fronts are now glued and pin-nailed into place, done correctly so they're symmetrically spaced on all sides, and have been given a smooth sanding on the edges to take off the splinters. I still need to drill handle holes in the fronts.
while choosing for a luxury villa interior designing company there are certain things that one should keep in mind like check the reputation and experience of the company, their past projects and customer feedback.
The other day I was telling you here about how the flooring salesperson likely miscalculated how much flooring I'd need, given the dimensions of the area. I was right. I'm 3 boxes short.
You'd think that since she sells modular flooring by the square foot, and has been doing so for a long time -- not just Marmoleum, which as said she knew little about, other brands too -- she'd have some aptitude for this. eehnope.
I put in the part that goes under the washer and drier so I can pull those back in and not have to move them when I get more flooring in, oh, a week. Grrr.
