For the uninitiated, I bought a charming little house (Garrison Road) five years ago and spent almost every day of those five years making the inside match the out. Then, right about the time the rooms were finished and all the trim was hung, I up and sold it to move to a smaller and less-charming house ( aka the Memorial House) in the country. And then started all over again.
Memorial House – Before & um, In Progress
These aren’t quite “after” shots yet, but the change is still something to see.
Okay, okay. It needs a little work yet.
In the meantime we live in a room in the old-gas-station-turned-garage-turned-apartment on the property.
Yes. Yes we do live with lawn furniture and no trim around the doors. Such is the life of a DIY couple. You can see the entire 400 square feet we currently live in here.
The Station will eventually be a man-cave, so the bathroom transformation had to be masculine.
Before

(No, that’s not a shot of a prison bathroom… that is a picture from inside the place where I currently live.)
After

Waaaay less terrifying now. See the entire transformation here, with links to how-to’s on the tile and drywall.
Garrison Road Before & After
Garrison Road is a different story entirely, in that the projects actually got finished over there. Eventually.
