I love a good kitchen before and after.</p> <p>No projects right now... I just want to sell this dang house. There are lots of projects I want to do in the house we want to buy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2205381 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 13:27:40 +0000 avivoca 2205381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to finally finish edging around our bedroom. Our walls are a pretty light blue but I didn't get close enough to the ceiling with the edger tool so there is a purple line all the way around. I recently repainted our front door, and I want to tackle freshening up our half bath in the master. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2205361 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 13:18:36 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2205361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are finally getting around to decorating the place. We recently repainted both the master bedroom and the children's bedroom. I need to put some stuff up on the walls. When the kids get older, we want to replace our carpet upstairs - can't decide whether we should get new carpet, or replace it with a darker wood - if we do the wood we'd have to redo the whole downstairs too so that would cost a lot of money. </p> <p>We finally got a bed frame and headboard, and recently bought some bedside tables! We've gone without for our nearly 6 years of marriage! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2205353 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 13:14:04 +0000 snowjewelz 2205353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH worked on the garden bed this spring. We really wants to be a lower wooden deck to cove the old broken stone paved one, but I doubt he will actually have time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2205152 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 10:40:23 +0000 youboots 2205152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now T and I are trading rooms. My office is now her bedroom and her bedroom is now my office/future playroom. Since I will be a SAHM after October I don't need the space plus her new bedroom is darker/cooler. All the big stuff is moved- this weekend we will rearrange the art. I ordered a rug for her room from Target. I need to get some blackout curtains, etc. The best part is now her changing table is an old desk in a walk in closet- so the room looks so much better without her diapering stuff everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2205134 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 10:26:47 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2205134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are buying a house next week and have a long list of projects. It's not a fixer upper by any means but my husband loves house projects so I'm sure he'll always have something in mind. We'll be 100 before he's satisfied! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2205132 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 10:26:14 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2205132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love hearing about everyone's house projects! </p> <p>We're just putting the finishing touches on DS's big boy room. It was wallpapered, so we removed that ourselves, and DH put wainscotting up 3/4 of the way up one wall and a shelf the whole length of the wall. He just cleaned everything out of there this week, and we're shampooing the rug over the weekend. I'm super proud of it! </p> <p>Once we get everything back in there, we'll start on our office next. This room along with the guest bathroom are the last two rooms in the house that have wallpaper. We're so close! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2205092 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 10:05:19 +0000 Smurfette 2205092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just installed wainscoting in the hallway. I pained it this week. DH installed new shutters outside. We are tackling the yard next month. Then we are gutting the hall bath and re-doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2205066 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 09:51:52 +0000 mrschickpea 2205066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!</p> <p>Repainting ceiling and guest rooms<br /> New front door and jam<br /> Carpeting in "man cave" :happy:<br /> Quite a few outdoor projects</p> <p>Luckily our home was nicely updated when we moved in a few weeks ago.mwe are very grateful enough that our projects are relatively small right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2205043 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 09:39:34 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2205043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have money in the budget to redo our kitchen right now, so I'm living vicariously through our DD! Her birthday is in September and my husband is building her a play kitchen and I'm decorating it. At least I can live out my farmhouse sink, butcher block counter, dreamy blue gray cabinet fantasies with a little tiny kitchen for now, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2204984 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 08:55:32 +0000 regberadaisy 2204984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always!

I'm in the middle of finishing two beds we built, they're stained and just waiting to be polyurethaned. We're painting the exterior of the house. I'm trying to pick a paint color for my kitchen cabinets. And in the processes of looking for new granite or stone countertops, sink and faucets for my bathrooms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2204826 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 07:29:06 +0000 MrsH 2204826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: We were finishing our basement but they hooked up the water and it flooded and the floor is on back order until July. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-working-on-any-house-projects#post-2204808 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 07:20:05 +0000 Bao 2204808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are working on updating our kitchen. We have old plywood kitchen cabinets so we are adding trim and painting them. We are also adding new hardware. We will do something with the countertops and add a backsplash but we are keeping the total for everything under $500, so it's a fun challenge! </p>
