Now this thing was ugly. So ugly that when I showed my friend Joe my horrible kitchen progress pictures he said, now that isn’t a Cory Ann light. He was right! But in the process of replacing it I decided next time I will have to hire the electrician.CA Ugly light stripped and full of...
Our kitchen was never bad. Well none of the house was. It just wasn’t me. So anyway. Here is the current state of the kitchen. I call this phase three as phase one was moving out the washer and dryer. And phase two was creating the pantry. The day we moved in we actually took...
The wash closet was inconveniently located inbetween the kitchen and the dining room. So since the walls were tore out of the basement bathroom we had the water and electricity rerouted and have a new wash closet in the hallway instead. Here is when we moved in. And after the first reno. Which worked great...
Did you notice in categories the House has it’s own. I figured I better do that for easy reference. Todays home show is of our pantry. We didn’t originally have one. In fact right between our kitchen and dining room was the location of our washer and dryer. It really bugged me, right in the...
I’ve been using some of my “extra” time to get some home stuff done. The house tends to get neglected about 10 months out of the year when I’m busy busy busy. So finally all of our little projects, by little I mean big, are getting done or at least progressing where I can simply...
About a month ago I completed another project, the dining room. First was the new light, a nelson bubble lamp. Then a few days after Room and Board and their huge semi delivered my new table. I love that Room and Board even sets it up. Remind me to show you Ayden’s bed- that was...
Life happens.In this mass chaos of a year I had many many plans and so few got accomplished, but this one did. Andy did a great job of framing it all out and Ayden and I went and picked out the plants and I planted them. Let’s hope next year not as much life happens...
Further my quest to have a home full of inspiring art on the walls in integrated in came forward in the installation of this lamp. This is a George Nelson Criss Cross Bubble Lamp.. Designed in 1947 of wire and Polymer. It is simple and beautiful and now hangs above our dining room table. And...
Another room I painted. The downstairs/guest bath. I have yet to decide the art for the walls and get another mirror, the ceiling, and new window covering, but the paint is motivating me to do the rest. So here is the in between.CA the after: and the before:
So back when I did a survey many listed that they’d like to see some posts on home decorating/remodeling. I’ve not been ignoring them, merely did not have the time or money to do any of them. And I don’t like to show incomplete projects. But recently after filling all those holiday orders and in...
Like I said with the dungeon, the home improvement is going a little slow. It’s the busy time of the year for me and I tend to put everything personal aside while I focus on my clients. But since everyone keeps asking about the house I figured I’d show some little things I’ve improved on....
I haven’t been showing any house stuff since nothing has be “completed”. Here is one project currently in the works. This is the window from my office and before we removed all the concrete stoop it was just a black hole and that is why I called my office my dungeon since I could get...
The first completely finished home project. The wash room when we got here was a bit cramped, with old cabinets as the only storage. So we started by removing one set of cabinets so we could stack the washer and dryer. Then I ordered the shelving and selected the paint. When the shelving got here...
For the last 2.5 years I have been operating this business from a room in our small 3 bedroom apartment. Well as I have grown it has become an issue. I didn’t have room for my assistants or myself to effectively work. The studio space has always only been big enough for shooting and meeting....
