My 1950's ranch kitchen wasn't bad enough to justify a remodel, until I wandered into a cabinet warehouse closing down & selling their inventory for $60 a cabinet. I had 3 hours to get cabinets out of their warehouse. For $1000, I had cabinets close to fitting the space, and a few extra for spare parts. Then my neighbor who was going to install the cabinets for me decided after 3 days that he didn't want to work with me. I finished the remodel myself, my first interior remodel project, not counting hanging shelves, ever. My boyfriend helped with advice, loan of a tile saw & nail gun, and a few of the projects. But I did the bulk of the work on my own - including cutting down and building up cabinets where they didn't exactly fit the space. My favorite things in the kitchen are the bits I had to figure out how to make fit. I hired professionals to run 2 new electrical circuits to meet code on the refrigerator wall. My appliances, fixtures & hardware were all from craigslist, ebay, or re-use stores. My goal was to finish the project under $3000, but it ended up closer to $5000. (That includes the 3 days pay for the neighbor.) It only took me 6 months (often only working 1 day on a weekend per week), and I had a blast. I also found that when you are doing the work yourself, it is not nearly as frustrating at how long it takes.

This playroom is every soccer-loving kid’s dream come true! Designed for two elementary school-aged boys, it’s now a kids soccer indoor playroom, complete with commercial-grade padded turf and inset white lines for that real-game feel. We also threw in some ninja elements, a yoga swing, and a basketball hoop, so there’s no shortage of action and fun. The boys can play soccer year-round, rain or shine! To kick things up a notch, we added a super fun, striped custom mural on the walls and ceiling, giving the whole space tons of energy. It’s the ultimate playroom for soccer, strength, and endless fun.
