an industrial towel rack

We were in really bad need of a towel rack for our half bathroom. But wanted something unique and different. Galvanized pipes saved the day! Now if only we could find a mirror...

upstairs in progress

We spent last weekend painting and laying floors. Next up is hanging new doors and putting up the molding in the office, guest bedroom and hall. Then we'll move onto our bedroom. The last room with carpet and beige paint!

upstairs renovations

After having a nice summer doing summery things like taking weekend road trips and riding our bikes to the beach, we're back at carving up Carver. We just celebrated one year since the keys to Carver were handed off to us and have been reeling over everything we've accomplished instead of thinking of everything we had left to do. Now we're onto the upstairs, getting all the doors replaced (including closets), pulling up the carpet and replacing it with hardwood floors, painting everything white and replacing windows.

Some before/during pics from last weekend:

C's drywall work in the closet! Perhaps he has a future in drywall afterall?

C in attic. Guess he really wanted a light over the stairs.
