I have lived with painted concrete floors in my living room for 3 years! And before that I had some old musty carpet, so to say I love my new floors is an understatement. I went with a water resistant laminate flooring because I love the color and texture that they came in and that they are pet-friendly with extra stain and stretch resistance. Which you know I need living with Awesome Oscar!
I recently did a complete mini budget friendly makeover in my guest bathroom and the biggest impact had to be painting the tub surround! Yup… I said paint! Well… actually it is an epoxy acrylic, but it goes on pretty much like paint. Today I am going to share everything I used with you and give you all the do’s and don’ts I learned doing this project, so that your tub surround comes out even better then mine!!!
So let’s start from the beginning with the design. My husband wanted the biggest deepest patio we could get with unobstructed views. Our current patio was 30’ long and that length was good so that we didn’t cover the windows to two of our bedrooms. Our house is already on the darker side and we wanted to keep as much natural light inside as possible. So we knew 30’ long, but how were we going to that big of a span without posts in the middle? I didn’t think it was possible, but my husband wouldn’t give up on it. So I went and talked to an architect friend and he said it would be possible with an 18” glulam.
We have been in our house for about 3 1/2 years now and have slowly been remodeling as time and money allow… well over Thanksgiving weekend we were able to tackle one big job that I have been wanting done since we moved in. Raising the ceilings in our entryway!!! This project has been part of the overall plan since the beginning. It will give our 1970’s ranch house a much more updated and modern feel… plus it makes it feel bigger!
