This is my new favorite organizational hack! Strangely I don’t own a lot of shoes, but my family has a ridiculous amount of water bottles, shaker bottles and travel mugs. First of all, don’t judge my messy cabinets/pantry- I have 3 kids who have no idea how to put anything back where it belongs. But seriously, every time I opened a cupboard door I felt a water bottle would come tumbling out on my head. When I saw this over the door shoe organizer I knew I had to try it, I have SO much more cupboard space now, I don’t even know what to do with it! (Just kidding I have plenty more junk to store). On a side note, this only worked in my pantry because all of my shelves are recessed except for the very bottom one. If you don’t have enough room for this type of shoe rack you could also do one like the black one I have hanging on the back of my laundry room/mud room that I store sunscreen, gloves, umbrellas, flashlights, etc. in,. Also- another side note, anytime you use an over the door rack, PLEASE put a piece of felt, cardboard or other material underneath the metal brackets if possible so that you don’t scratch up your doors😁

I really wish I had a better before picture of this shower, it was just really old, it had literally turned yellow with age, and was stained from hard water. I’ve had Refinishing Unlimited refinish several old cast iron tubs for me in the past but it never dawned on me to have them refinish a shower surround until now. They did not disappoint- it’s pretty much a brand new shower now without the headache of ripping out an old one, trying to get Plumbing to match back up and repairing drywall. Tomorrow is my favorite- new flooring!

In my 4th hour of scraping wallpaper in a somewhat small bathroom, my daughter sends me a text”we should try hotworx sometime”, me-ok what is it?(thinking it’s a restaurant or something) her- it’s like a sauna and you work out in in. Me-that’s exactly what I’m doing right now, it’s called stripping wallpaper and I don’t even have to pay money to do the workout, someone is actually paying ME to do the workout, so you should just come help me strip wallpaper. Her-uhhhh…I’ll pass 😂😂😂. It took 6 hours to strip this wallpaper, it was impressive, even the light switch and outlet covers were wrapped in wallpaper. Also, on a side note- that evil metal ring around your shower head pipe that covers the hole in the drywall is SHARP, and you should not stick your finger underneath to pull it away from the wall, it will slice your finger open- or so I’ve been told, because of course I would never actually do that myself 🙄. And my clients aren’t even going to recognize this bathroom when I’m done with it.

SPRING CLEANING!!! I know, I know…but it’s eventually going to be spring, and this is the time clients usually start calling me and asking me to come over and give them suggestions on what they need to do to start getting their homes ready to put on the market. Obviously my #1 suggestion is usually declutter, but my close 2nd is CLEAN, like you have never cleaned before, nobody wants to pay you top dollar for a dirty house they’re going to have to clean before they can even unpack their things. I always feel like such a hypocrite telling people they need to do things like dust their ceiling fans and deep cleaning their bathroom, but in my defense I’m not trying to sell my house, I’m living in it. However, on snow day #2 I started feeling a little bit guilty for sitting around reading a book and decided to clean my shower. I can always get my shower really clean with a magic eraser and serious elbow grease, but there was this one stain I swore I had tried everything on, and could not get rid of, so I decided to bust out my compound seven and give it a try. It was like magic and even got all the water spots off of my chrome. Warning- make sure you wear gloves, it will irritate your skin-yes I know this 1st hand. AND do NOT use an abrasive scrubber like a green Scott pad, it can actually scratch the surface, use something like a toothbrush or a blue Scott pad, or micro fiber cloth and rub GENTLY, and then only use amount of pressure necessary to get the stain off. I could of walked all over my house scrubbing things with this stuff but I decided spring cleaning is overrated and I’m going back to my book 😁

Trying to decide on some new flooring that will butt up against my hardwood floors. Both are waterproof vinyl plank tiles, and both are high quality Shaw products. It's hard to see in #2, but there is a vintage pattern in the tiles and that you can see in the screenshots below it that I took off the website. It's a little more "artsy". My husband called it "old lady linoleum" looking 😂, but he has NO fashion sense (sorry Ryan).

So I saw this trick somewhere online, where they took a cake icing bag and used it to pipe the grout into the lines so of course I had to try it, except for I had to use a Ziploc bag and cut the corner off, at first I thought wow this is a lot less messy, and then after three or four rows I was like"forget it this is way too time-consuming" and then I went back to my old method of just slopping it on there. I have to admit I don't really like grouting tile- so messy, and gritty ..and just..MESSY

Just out of pure curiosity I thought I'd see if White Out matched the color of ceilings. I can assure you, it does not ...I hate patching/fixing ceilings more than I hate wallpaper- and I REALLY hate wallpaper. Back to the primer ..

I finally tried this drywall patch trick that my drywaller tried explaining to me a while back, I guess he was tired of fixing every little hole when he thought I could do it myself 😁. It wasn't as difficult as I thought, just cut piece of drywall one inch bigger than hole on all sides, then carefully score the extra inch and peel the extra inch of drywall off leaving just the top layer of paper, and you have a nice plug. Then just mud over it. It did take a couple coats of mud but I do think it looks better than the screen patches.

Found myself with a last minute emergency renovation. These walls are killing me!!!! I've been patching and sanding walls for the last 5 days- and no, I'm not exaggerating. And I still have the basement 🙄

People keep asking me if I have any "projects". Unfortunately flipping is a really tough business right now, so I've taken a break from flipping, and I'm investing in some new construction. I love the high quality that this builder puts out in every single home they build. Quality construction and absolutely no short cuts.

There's only one thing I hate worse than wallpaper, and that's multiple layers of wallpaper. The homeowner kept insisting there were 2 layers of wallpaper, and I knew I was only scraping off one layer, until I got about halfway done, and then I found it.... That's what I get for taking a job that's "just a laundry room". Ya- a laundry room the size of my living room! 😂 I never learn! Every time I take a job stripping wallpaper, I always tell myself "never again!" ...and yet here I am...

When you show up for what you think is going to be a simple vinyl plank floor install job, but it suddenly goes south about 5 mins in. Once you open the can of worms there is no putting the lid back on.... 😬
