Melea’s Backsplash
Melea loved the idea of having a backsplash in her kitchen, but didn't love the price tag of expensive tile and labor, not to mention how long and messy a process it is. So naturally, she loved the cost, versatility and instant gratification of our painted backsplashes!! We aim to please!Although her wall was already a neutral color that could have worked as a grout line, we talked her into ... [ Read More ]
Nursery: Shelving
So I pull up to the "Nick's Handyman Drive-thru" and roll down my window."Thank you for choosing Nick's, what can I build for you today?""Yes hi! Ummmm... I'd like to order two floating shelves 2'x4.5"x2", and a rack to hold books in the same length, and ahhhh, I'll finish that off with a little coat rack with hooks that I'll supply.""Is that all?""Yes, for today. You know I'll be back ... [ Read More ]
OH. MY.

The Commode
For those that don't know, a "commode" is a portable wash stand, and could be considered a toilet of sorts if you're from Louisiana. But today we're talking about the small cabinet type of commode that dates back to the mid 1700's. It's basically like a bathroom vanity without the sink. Enough history. This little guy came to us from a client in this condition: And do you remember our little ... [ Read More ]
Kathy’s Backsplash
YAY!!! We're back at it! This past weekend, we partook in painting our first backsplash since the girls were born. It's been a nice two month siesta, but it feels good to jump back into our creative niche. Kathy was one of my coworkers at the clinic, and she was willing to be our guinea pig for seeing how it would all work bringing the girls with us on the job!Here's Kathy's kitchen... she ...

Wave your banner!
I was lookin' at our blog title and banner this morning, and thinking it would be fun to explain some of the photos involved. Some of the stories behind them are humorous.This first photo is of myself obviously. I had just gotten a killer awesome haircut by my girl Angie, and I wanted to take a picture of it so it could be reproduced many times over. Everyone has had the perfect haircut at some ...

Demo / Reno
Oh my... what-a-weekend. I should say WEEK because we left Thursday and came home Tuesday evening. Why? Our Christmas gift to my parents was to tear out all the lathe and plaster in their living room, insulate, fix old electrical wiring, drywall, mud, prime and paint. I'll be the first to admit that I helped about 0%. In fact, it takes a crane to get me out of bed these days. Nick, Tim, Josh, ... [ Read More ]

The Final Lap
We've officially started the 3rd trimester! And I've noticed a marked difference in my energy level. Though perhaps it's directly related to the low-quality sleep I've been getting. It's incredible how much time and strategy it takes to roll over! But I love how my girls gently remind me of their presence pretty much all the time. It hasn't gotten to the point where their kicks hurt yet, so I'm ... [ Read More ]
