August 4th, 2025: Sneak Peek 🫣

Preparations for Phase II are well underway. Big changes are coming to WavyGlass1906!

Phase I included restoration, renovation, and finishing work from the foundation to the floor joists in the attic. Hard to believe this Christmas will mark 3 years since we completed Phase I and moved in just a few days before Christmas of 2022.

Since then, we’ve been busy with many other projects and saw the completion of our kitchen (tile & updated paint), all new decking, (and staining) and some other necessary maintenance in our finished basement including a massive exterior waterproofing project.

We now turn our attention on converting our attic into finished living space. This project will not be taken lightly. The plan to is add two bedrooms and a centralized bath with a grand hallway. Perhaps the most challenging of this next phase will be living underneath it with young kids and busy parents with a never ending workload!

Stay tuned!

And just like that, the deck is 100% complete.

We added 2 different stains to seal and protect with semi solids that still show the wood grain but adds great contrast against the white clapboard exterior of our house.

Can’t wait to make all the memories out here.

December 19th, 2024: Yall…I’m speechless.

And if anyone knows me, knows that’s next to impossible because I’m never quiet and I always have much to say.

But when I stand in this kitchen, I’m speechless. It’s stunning.

We love white kitchens, we do. We didn’t originally plan to paint the cabinets a color, but MAN! We’re elated with how this came out. It’s a blue color but in some lights it has a subtle greenish hue to it. That color really allows the white washed Beadboard ceilings, Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, and our new porcelain tile to POP! Toss in all new brass hardware and it’s stunning.

There’s a few items left to finish up, but it’s essentially done. Now onto the next project!

We have a new deck!
Just in time to watch Autumn roll in and the leaves fall.
Pumpkin Spice and sweaters,
Catch us outside no matter the weather.

May 5th, 2024: Ok, now we’re done.

Again.

We finished the basement rental space back in October of last year. We ultimately decided to hold off on opening up this studio as a medium term rental as we welcomed our newest bundle of joy just 2 months earlier in August.

Then in true below grade basement fashion…

We had a flood in January. As a direct result of days of heavy rain & a failed sump pump. Finally, 4 months later our new flooring and quarter rounds have been replaced.

We cleared Lowe’s inventory with a couple of boxes spared, praying we never have to do this again.

Here’s the finished finished version. Still work left to do with decorating and some finishing touches, but it’s done.

May 2nd, 2024: May 🌺

Spring is booming
Flowers are blooming
Birds are chirping
Dogs are derping

It’s that time of year again,
You know…
Do I wear flip flops,
Or bring a parka in case it snows?

Ok ok, snow in May is quite the stretch,
But you can all agree,
the weather is never etched.

One thing is for certain,
No matter the day,
This time of year is hardly a burden.

Cheers to cool mornings
And warm afternoons.
Catch us outside,
Filling our tanks with
Natural dose of vitamin D.

April 28th, 2024: Is it the tile?

What makes a bathroom standout? Is it the tile? Is it the countertops? Maybe the paint color on the wall? Could it be the fixtures or hardware?

Maybe it depends on the space?

One thing is for certain, we love mosaic tile and it’s our statement piece in our main level guest bath. It’s the first thing our eyes are drawn to!

What about you? What’s your bathroom statement piece(s)?

April 6th, 2024: Picked up a new addition.

No historic home is complete without stained or leaded glass windows. This is the first of many we plan to add.

But baby steps…because they can break the existing bend in the old wallet.

April 1st, 2024: Where I hang my hat…

The place that has my heart, the place that has our peace, the place that provides us shelter, the place where memories are made, but nothing compares to this place…

We call HOME.

Home can mean so many things. Somewhere you’re from, someplace you’d rather be, or someplace in between.

Happy Easter friends.
He is Risen.
