Guest Post on Remodelaholic

Hello. You have reached the home of Pretty Handy Girl. We're not home right now, but you can reach us over at Remodelaholic today! Or feel free to leave us a comment and we'll get back to you shortly. Beeeeeeep.

It's true, I'm not here today. Instead I'll be over at Remodelaholic sharing our Antique Heart Pine flooring in our living room. I hope you'll swing by to see how we installed them and all the hurdles we jumped over to get them to a finished product.

If you haven't been to Remodelaholic, you are really missing out. I showed you a few of Cassity's projects in this post.

She designed and built her own carriage style garage doors!

What I like most about Remodelaholic is that every day around 4pm EST I get a triple dose of DIY projects. It is like my daily injection of inspiration.

What? You'd like a dose too?! All you have to do is go to Remodelaholic and on the side bar where it says, You've Got Mail", simply enter your email address. You can also receive Pretty Handy Girl posts in your email inbox everytime I publish a new post. Go ahead and enter your email address here:

I should have another post (or hopefully two) for you this week and then I'm headed out for a special weekend with two very special women in my life!

My sisters: The Architect, The Interior Designer and Me

We'll be donning our safety goggles, aprons and gloves while we get busy kicking some serious DIY butt for my sister's birthday present.

Happy Birthday, Alana! 

She's the architect and today is her birthday! So, wish her a Happy Day.

Guest Appearance on Remodelaholic

I am so excited that my "Closet turned into a Reading Nook" post is being featured today on Remodelaholic! If you haven't seen the project, it was a three day labor of love for my youngest son. I had a free weekend while Pretty Handsome Guy took the boys camping. Working with wood and power tools is how I chose to spend my free time!

Now, back to Remodelaholic. I'm sure you all have been to or heard of Remodelaholic. If you haven't, well you are missing out on loads of DIY fun!

Cassity is the head honcho over at Remodelaholic. She and her husband have transformed two homes and are in the process of working on their third home! She graciously takes her blog readers along for the adventures and mis-adventures of remodeling.

Her small bedroom renovation post is really entertaining to read. The room threw many challenges in their way, but who were they to let it stop them!

The room went from this:

To this:

And those pictures don't even begin to tell the whole story! Chiseling brick, ripping carpeting off the walls (yes, you read that right), and cheating the height of a window are some the highlights that she shared.

How many of you have boring garage doors? (ooo, ooo, me, me!) I am seriously trying to figure out if we can reface the garage doors to look like Cassity's carriage house style. She has a detailed tutorial on her site.

In between posting about her own remodeling achievements, she features DIY projects other bloggers have tackled. I get my DIY fix in daily doses by subscribing to Remodelaholic. I'm seriously addicted to reading her posts while waiting for my first grader at the bus stop. I think that is the true meaning of "Remodelaholic" - a person that is seriously addicted to reading Cassity's blog. Now head on over to Remodelaholic and get a dose of some DIY achievements and read about my son's closet that I turned into a reading nook.

Then don't forget to come back here and enter to win my end of the summer giveaway!
