One of my last projects of 2025, and also one of my favorites.

This basement bathroom had visible mold on the ceiling and inside the vanity due to poor ventilation. The space was stripped back, properly cleaned, and corrected at the source with a new, more effective exhaust fan.

From there, I added custom wall paneling and custom trim to warm up the space, refined the layout to make better use of a tight footprint, and took the extra steps to waterproof and mold-proof the room using Benjamin Moore primers and finishes made for high-moisture environments.

The end result is a cleaner, healthier basement bathroom that feels solid, welcoming, and built to last.

A Pantry Built to Last — Honoring a Historical Chicago Home

She wanted something clean, solid, and lasting—a custom pantry to match the warmth and care she’d put into her newly remodeled kitchen. Shelves that felt like they belonged.

But as I began framing it out, the space told a different story:
The floors were an inch and a half out of level, sloping across the room, the walls were two inches out of square, and the plaster was failing in places.

This wasn’t a simple shelf install—it was a rebuild from the inside out.

I squared up the walls with plywood, reinforced the structure, and created a true foundation to build from. Then I customized every shelf to fit the corrected space precisely. Over 500 pocket holes, carefully leveled cleating, clean trim work, and a durable finish brought it all together.

Her home is a historical Chicago home, full of charm and character. With every cut and adjustment, I worked to honor the craftsmanship that went into these old homes—hand-built, made to last, and never rushed.

She was thoughtful, patient, and clear about her vision. She deserved something that would hold up over time.

Now, the pantry stands solid and seamless—like it’s always been part of the home. Built with care. Built to last.

Mudroom Makeover – Simple Fixes for a More Functional Entryway

Your mudroom is one of the hardest-working spaces in your home. A few small upgrades can make it more organized, durable, and stylish—without a full renovation!

Affordable Upgrades for a More Functional Mudroom:

🔹 Install Wall Hooks & a Bench – Create a drop zone for bags, coats, and shoes. A simple piece of stained oak and some paneling can bring your space from boring to luxurious.

🔹 Add Storage Cubbies, Shelving or Baskets – Keep clutter in check with easy-access storage. Menards carries a line called Closet Maid that is easy to install and incredibly strong.

🔹 Upgrade Flooring for Durability – LVP or waterproof flooring helps with muddy shoes and spills. I prefer the LVP from Tile Shop or Floor and Decor over big name hardware stores.

🔹 Repaint Walls with Durable Paint – Use scuff-resistant paint for easy cleaning. I prefer Benjamin Moore products and shop locally.

🔹 Improve Lighting – Brighter bulbs or stylish fixtures can enhance the space.

🔹 Seal Drafts Around Doors – Weather-stripping keeps out cold air and saves on energy.

🔹 Install a Message Board or Organizer – A chalkboard, whiteboard, or mail sorter keeps your family on track.

A functional mudroom makes life easier! Need help with repairs or upgrades? AoA Home Repair is ready to assist.

🛠️ How to Patch a Wall After Removing Command Strips or Photos 🏡

Removing Command Strips, nails, or picture hooks can sometimes leave small holes, peeled paint, or surface damage. Don’t worry—fixing it is quick and easy! Here’s how:

🔹 What You’ll Need:
✔️ Lightweight spackle or wall putty
✔️ Putty knife or old credit card
✔️ Fine-grit sandpaper (120-220 grit)
✔️ Damp cloth
✔️ Touch-up paint & a small brush or roller

🔹 Step-by-Step Guide:
1️⃣ Clean the Area – Wipe away dust and debris with a damp cloth. Let it dry completely.

2️⃣ Apply Spackle – Use a putty knife to apply a small amount of spackle over the hole or damaged area. Smooth it out so it’s level with the wall.

3️⃣ Let It Dry – Most spackles dry within 30-60 minutes, but check the label for exact times.

4️⃣ Sand It Smooth – Once dry, lightly sand the area with fine-grit sandpaper until it blends seamlessly with the wall.

5️⃣ Wipe Off Dust – Use a damp cloth to remove sanding dust before painting.

6️⃣ Touch Up with Paint – Apply matching paint in thin layers, letting it dry between coats for a perfect blend.

💡 Pro Tip: If the paint doesn’t match perfectly, try feathering it out by blending the edges with a slightly damp brush or sponge!
