The Master Plan: Next Steps

August 21, 2017 Allie Ellenbogen

You may remember this post and this post from a while ago where I talked about master planning for your house. I went over what my definition of it is, how we did it, why I felt like it was so valuable, and what we decided on. Well, I thought I’d share a little update about where things are. Recently we finished up the last of our “catch-up” projects. That’s what I’m calling all the stuff that came up in the inspection or is more behind the scenes work. We bought and installed blinds, had gutters installed, updated a lot of the old electricity (see ya, wouldn’t wanna be, knob-and-tube), had a minor roof leak repaired, added an exhaust fan and extra outlet to the upstairs bathroom, had the attic insulation updated, and had both the attic and crawl space spot sealed. It has been a lot of work, but it’s all the kind of stuff that you really can’t see. Even the blinds, for example, technically you can see them but it’s something that you don’t notice at all.

How to install a bathroom exhaust fan

August 18, 2017 Allie Ellenbogen

Hi friends, happy Friday! A few weeks ago we tackled this project and its already made such an improvement for us. So, today I’m sharing all the details about how to install a bathroom exhaust fan.Because our house is so old it doesn’t have a lot of the features you typically think of these days. Plumbing and electricity didn’t even exist back then and what we know about how buildings work has evolved so much. So, as you can imagine exhaust fans were definitely not a thing at that time and unlike plumbing and electricity they’re usually much lower on the priority list. But, they’re so important in keeping moisture under control that we were really eager to add one. Especially because we have hardwood in the bathroom.

An Entryway Key Tray DIY Idea

August 9, 2017 Allie Ellenbogen

Last month I showed you guys my foyer make over and you may remember the wooden bowl that I found at Target. I guess it’s more of a tray, really. Either way, I got it to catch our keys and sunglasses and other little things that need to be corralled by the door.
