I’ve made a couple of changes to my plan for turning the current guest bedroom into a closet. The overall plan still stands, but when I put the proposed floor plan for that room into the IKEA Pax planner to arrange my closet, I realized that my original plan wasn’t very efficient. Here was my... The post Planning My IKEA Pax Wardrobe Closet appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating ..read more

I have a meeting scheduled with the contractor in seven days to discuss our kitchen addition, and I feel like I’m further away from making a decision now than I was last Friday. I’ve come up with two very different kitchen layouts, and to be quite honest, I love them both. I think I would...

One of the projects that Matt wants to get done immediately is my woodworking workshop. Every time I mention my workshop, it seems to cause confusion for some people. To be clear, my studio was never meant for “dirty” projects. I never intended to drag my miter saw, table saw, planer, etc., into my studio...

Y’all, over the last couple of days, I have had such a hard time focusing on anything other than our new floor plan. I was so excited about it, and so anxious to move forward full steam ahead, that I started making phone calls on Friday. If you missed the details of our new floor...

For the last two days, I have not been able to concentrate on anything other than the new plan for our house. After canceling our addition that we’ve been planning for years now and deciding to mainly work within the footprint of our current home, adding on just one room, my mind has been in...

Okay, well, that may be overstating it just a bit. Or a lot. I just thought I’d start my day by getting some of you riled up. I’m feeling a bit feisty today. ? So yes, it’s a bit of an overstatement to say that a pier and beam foundation is “far superior” to a...

I haven’t made any decisions that are 100% engraved in stone at this point, but since many of you have said over the years that you enjoy it when I share my thought processes, let me start at the beginning and tell you what has transpired over the last two days. As I suspected, the... The post The Emotional Breakdown Came (And I Cancelled Our Addition) appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating ..read more

As I shared last Friday, the floor and subfloor in our home gym are destroyed. I’ve been noticing a hump going through the center of the floor in the room since last summer, about four months after I installed the FLOR carpet tiles in our home gym in February 2023. I won’t rehash all of... The post FLOR Carpet Tiles Destroyed My Floor & Subfloor (Don’t Use Them Under These Conditions!!) appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating ..read more

That’s not hyperbole. Our home gym is destroyed. And I fear that the only fix at this point will be to tear up the whole thing, down to the floor joists, and replace the subfloor and flooring. And the frustrating thing is that I have no idea what caused it. I’m still searching for answers.... The post Our Home Gym Floor Is Destroyed appeared first on Addicted 2 Decorating ..read more
