New Year, New Voice
Happy New Year everyone! It's been a loooong time since I've written anything on here. This year though, I'm making it one of my goals to take a more active role in Team Dreamhouse.
Behind the reveal: Creating a hex tile pattern floor
First of all I just wanted to say thank you so much for the overwhelmingly positive comments on last week's One Room Challenge reveal post as well as all the love on facebook, & instagram, etc. We really do appreciate it! We received so much feedback on our hex tile floors, we thought we'd share some details and a few tips to help any of you looking to do something similar.
We Made the Cut!!
We've got some big news to share today. Remember that video we shot a few weeks ago for PARA Paints?? Well last week PARA announced the names of the 5 lucky winners that were chosen to be a part of the 2014 PARA Blog Crew
The day we pretended to be on HGTV: Our PARA Blog Crew Submission [Video]
This is going to be embarrassing
The Demolition [Video]
With the holidays around the corner we've been super busy, but the demolition video is finally edited and ready to go! When you watch the video, it'll seem like all smashing & crashing, but in actual fact, the backhoe operator was quite the artist. He used the machine like an extension of his arm - in some instances, only removing a few bricks at a time. It was pretty amazing to watch. Anyway, here it is - what it looks like when a few hundred thousand dollars comes crashing to the ground
The Waiting Game
It's been about a month since our last post which we know is a VERY looong time! You must be wondering what Team Dreamhouse has been up to. In all honesty
UPDATE: The demo continues…
The demo crew has been VERY busy while we were away. With the exception of the one load bearing wall frame & the main floor bathroom, this house is gutted! Before-ish - Main floor, looking toward the bathroom Demo - Getting started Gutted! Ok, we know what you're thinking
Let the demolition begin! [Video]
After having a little fun last night, we decided to leave the rest to the professionals who came in today to get started with the real demo work. Here's a quick peek at the progress at the end of the first day. Next week we'll be blogging on vacation as we're heading out Saturday morning for a Caribbean cruise with the family. We'll check in on the demolition progress when we return.
It’s GO TIME!!
We know it's been a little while since we blogged and you're probably as excited to see the plans for the Dreamhouse as we are
