Tour of our retro kitschy kitchen!

February 10, 2015 by Tasha 56 Comments

Ready for our kitchen reveal?? Okay, "reveal" makes it sound like we did a big remodel. We didn't. We really we just painted, hung up some new blinds and installed a new doorbell. But if you've seen my previous two kitchen posts (where we painted and the "before before" photos), you may agree it's a pretty big change! Especially since that old paint kept me from ever sharing the kitchen on my blog. And now, a little ... Read more »

Kitchen painting, by way of attic insulation

February 4, 2015 by Tasha 38 Comments

It took 2 years and 8 months of living with a disgusting kitchen color to finally DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. You never saw proper photos of our kitchen before, because I was embarrassed over the paint color. I would literally apologize to new guests about it. Wait, you saw me stand against one of the walls when I posted my Emery dress a year ago, and I even apologized for the color in that post! I filled it with cute ... Read more »

A “before before” look at our kitchen

January 28, 2015 by Tasha 19 Comments

We love our little house, built in 1955. I've really neglected posting about the Golly Ranch (as we lovingly call it sometimes) on my blog. I do get asked questions about it and I'm totally guilty of procrastinating about taking proper photos and sharing some of the things we've done. Nothing nearly as intense as our bathroom remodel, but we've had un-blogged painting and decorating and minor fix-it projects. I thought ... Read more »

The Golly Ranch Bathroom Remodel

The Golly Ranch bathroom remodel: the big reveal!

July 26, 2013 by Tasha 56 Comments

I'm back for what you've really been waiting for on the remodeling front, to see the final bathroom. If you missed it, here is yesterday's before and during renovation post. Sorry I split them up (I know that made some of you crazy!), but there was just too much to share. :) As you know, I only had two weeks to plan out nearly every single detail of our bathroom renovation, though the work itself took considerably ...

Bathroom Remodel: Tiling

The Golly Ranch bathroom remodel: before & during renovation

July 25, 2013 by Tasha 24 Comments

It's time to talk about a major project that sucked up a lot of our time and energy this spring and early summer! As in, even this post and the upcoming reveal post sucked up a lot of time! Needless to say, I am excited to finally be sharing this all with you. This and the reveal post are "sit down with a drink" posts, so I hope you're in a comfy seat. As you may recall, my dad came to stay with us in May while he ... Read more »

Made and Making No. 4

July 13, 2012 by Tasha 19 Comments

Happy Friday! I know I never did post a Made and Making last Friday, but I was just too busy with my dad in town. So today's rendition wraps up a couple of weeks. There's a lot that went on in the Golly Ranch House that I'll talk about soon (small but important projects like replacing receptacles, and finding some interesting tidbits on prior wall treatments and tile in the house), but for now you'll get a couple of small ...
