Lately I’ve been doing a lot of house tweaking, by which I mean relatively small home improvement projects that I can finish in a weekend, or even just a few minutes. Big, dramatic makeovers are satisfying, but expensive and time-consuming, so these are like little snacks between the meals. Just like snacks, though, they can […]
Stair Railing Makeover: Before
2018 Home Project Goals
This week I tackled my first home project of 2018. (I’ll share the results next week!) Getting it done was a great way to start the year, and it got me thinking about some of the other parts of my home that I want to fix up in 2018. I’m always tweaking little things here […]

Cleaning a Salvaged Vintage Sink
Have you ever bought a sink on impulse? No? I’m the only one? Somehow I’m not surprised. Here’s the story: Last week we stopped by the ReBuilding Center to find a piece of hardware for a window. It had been painted shut probably for DECADES, but Steven got it open, and then we noticed it […]
