When we bought our home in 2010, we loved everything about it except the floor tile. Well, I only dreamed about new floors but dreaming does not get new floors especially when money is tight! So, since I love DIY projects, I decided to replace over 1000 sq ft of tile! My husband gave me his blessings and trusted me to do it right! I am almost 51 years old and this was the biggest and most time consuming project I have ever challenged myself to do! I have a bad back and my knees are getting bad, but I seem to ignore that fact when I have plenty of pain medicine! I have always done all my remodel projects myself. So,I asked myself; why can't I re-tile our whold house? But, I did not want to just lay floor tile.........I wanted it to have a unique design that no one else has! Tell me what you think!

My First Time to Lay Floor Tile!, I hated my old ceramic floor tiles. I decided to try my hand at tiling! I bought enough for over 1000 square feet. Master Bath, Dinnette area, kitchen, Small Bath, Hall, Pantry and Washroom. Took me almost six weeks! I am a 50 year old woman and I love doing my own projects around the house. Tell me what you think.., Other Spaces Design

Big and boring bathroom, 10'x22' Bathroom built in 1996. It's long and big with hospital white sinks, tubs, shower and tiles. And to top it off, gold fixtures! It had white walls so I painted them red to make the white pop. The floors are a marbled looking tile and so cold! What do you think?, Bathrooms Design

Our Little Cabin Getaway, Our little rustic cabin has been kept rustic with no electricity, no plumbing and a fireplace for heat. It is a great retreat for us just get away from it all and get back to the simple way of life.. We do use oil lamps, candles and battery operated emergency lights. We presently are in the stages of building a gravity fed outside shower and a thunderbox. We do have a well and plan on assembling a piston style hand pump to it so we can get fresh water when needed. A fire pit is our only means of boiling water and cooking food.. The cabin is located on our home property in the woods so we have the privacy we wanted. Even though we have a home there is something very special about our cabin and the natural way of living. The best part is there are no heat bills, water bills or electricity bills. and yet you have fun doing things for yourself and being creative. , Other Spaces Design

Foyer/Entryway, This is our tiny foyer/entryway. The front door is to the right, and den and guest bath to the left. Storage cubby mounted on right wall is useful for keys, hats, etc. Very small space, but the skylight helps to keep it light and bright. I've tried various furniture configurations. Right now I am liking this the best., Other Spaces Design

Chicken Chapel, A friend of mine gave me some wood from an old mule barn so I decided to build a chicken coupe and start raising a few chickens just for fun.I used an old white fence just for looks to frame in the view. It came from an old home built during the Civil War., Other Spaces Design

Decoupaged Checkerboard Floors, This basement renovation included the bathroom/laundry room. Freshly painted, the white washer and dryer, along with the cabinetry, go perfectly with the crisp style of checkerboard. The cement floor was smooth but not super level, which is no problem for decoupage! Once finished, it's easy to damp mop clean with no grout line or cracks between tiles to catch dirt., Other Spaces Design
