Wood Accents

posted on September 4, 2013

We’re piddling here at The Goode House. Yes, it’s back to school, end of summer, schedule changes and a shift toward the fall. It’s been HOT and we’re tired. I think by the end of August everyone is worn out, no matter where you live. Which makes this the perfect time to do little things. Fun things.

Back in January Richie and I went to see Neutral Milk Hotel in concert. He came home with a t-shirt but I wanted the poster. I knew it would look so good all framed up but I also knew that there ….

Workout Room Updates

posted on April 15, 2013

Just a quick update and a photo dump from my camera, as I do great when it comes to taking pictures of our progress but not so great at actually doing anything with them.
Since I haven’t updated in weeks, I’m long overdue. I’ll explain what’s been going on in my life the last few weeks in another post… but I’m too tired to even go there. More on that later.

I did get the storage cabinet painted and the door to match. I decided to leave a stained wood trim around the edge so the sliders could move more easily. Paint ….

Staying on Track

posted on March 5, 2013

We’re definitely staying on “track” in the back of the house as I continue to work on sheetrock, painting, and now installing the new track lighting that arrived recently. The lighting in this space has been a long time coming… like so many things in this house. Richie rewired this area allowing us to put lighting down the supporting beams of each room. He also replaced all the outlets and switches. I have a thing for white outlets. They can’t be off white, or tan, or “ivory”. They must be white. It’s just a thing with me. THANK ….

Planters, Lighting, Fans and Floors

I hesitated to do this post, as I feel like I’m a broken record stuck on that part of the song that drives you crazy. Don’t worry, I too am wishing I could move the needle to another part of the record and get over it! (for those of you who don’t remember vinyl… sorry.)

The thing is I really try hard to start a project and stick to it until it’s done. Inch by inch, post by post, I am still “working it out”. Last weekend was a bust and I didn’t get a chance to do much in ….

The Great Wall of TROUBLE

posted on February 12, 2013

There’s The Great Wall of China, and The Wall in Manhattan…. the Lennon Wall in Prague and Pink Floyd’s THE WALL…. but our wall is not the kind to be celebrated, and I’m pretty sure it won’t attract tourists. One thing I am sure of is that it’s been nothing but trouble. After three years of waiting we finally conquered this hideous beast. Lets look back and see what all the fuss was about.

I’m still in my workout room but we are making progress each week. Richie and I have about a day and a half each week to work on the house ….
