Installing Tongue and Groove Shiplap
Hello again! We are back at mommas house to add some more character to her builder grade home. If you caught my last project here I partnered with Airstone to add a high-end custom look to her builder grade fireplace. A new stone facade complimented by a rustic wood beam mantle added so much warmth to her her living room! The next step was adding warmth to her adjoining kitchen! My mom loves the character in older homes and desperately wants to bring some of that character to a new build! With an open concept living room/kitchen space, cohesiveness is so important!

If you look carefully at the photos above you can see I was sloppy with the stain. This is…

Upgrading Carpeted Stairs to Beautiful Wood Part 1
So I’m back at my mom’s house! If you didn’t get the chance to see the other work I’ve done here feel free to check it out now! I upgraded her builder-grade wire pantry shelves to wooden ones! And I madeover her small laundry closet to make it more functional and more beautiful! When my mom built her house, the standard was carpet on the 2nd floor, stairs, and living room. She chose to upgrade her entire first floor to engineered hardwoods but kept the carpet on the stairs and 2nd floor opting for better padding and stainmaster protection instead. Fast-forward 4 years, 2 dogs, and lots of clay later…
