Welcome to Leslie's bathroom reveal! You can read all about the before (and how I met my pal Leslie here) What I thought would take a few weekends is finally finished the first weekend in March! And I think it turned out pretty darn good. Leslie certainly seems very happy with it. And, I have to admit I am a little jealous of that claw foot tub. I think I see a project in the future for Tim. This little room has gone from dated and dark, to really kind of ... continue reading...

I stayed well within my budget and I am very pleased with the outcome. If you remember, it looked like this....... We had just started to take ... continue reading...

Leslie’s Screen Porch Reveal
I'm sure the anticipation has been driving you batty! Wait no more. Leslie's screen porch reveal is finally here! The build itself went really quickly.

Lots of hours and hard work went into this project, but I think you will agree it was well worth it! You can ... continue reading...

It has the diverter to allow us to install a shower head and hoop shower curtain rod. We ordered it from Home Depot in ... continue reading...
