*UPDATE!* ...see the nursery in all it's finished glory HERE!!! We've been working away at the nursery, and were LOVING the fresh unique color palate and all the sentimental and DIY items we've incorporated into the room thus far! The nursery closet was NOT a priority when it came to planning a nursery design/color scheme. But there came a time when I realized that this just wouldn't do. First ... [ Read More ]

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...

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.

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 ]
