Well another week has arrived here at Casa Carolines, and the 1,000,000 things I have to do to prep for this move have now been narrowed down to 999,000. Look out, I'm on a roll- yippee!

Been cleaning out the basement bit x bit and going through more stuff deciding what to toss or keep. My plan this week is to keep plugging away at this until I've got a car load to take to charity. Next week is dump week. Would you believe we still have things boxed up from our move 3-yrs. ago that were never opened? Totally forgot I had that glass vase in the box or I wouldn't have purchased another one for the dried fruit arrangement. See, outta sight/outta mind really does work, but not always the way it should ;p

Are the bathrooms done you ask?

Well... the little things like towel bars, tp holders, etc. need to be hung, and a bit more clean up in the small bath. Some caulking here and there. Otherwise, I just can't take it anymore! LOL! As far as the paid crew are concerned, yes, they're done. In the end it looks fine, but the ride between was prrr-etty darn crazy.

Here's what happened: We hired the same construction company that put in our kitchen since they did a great job, thinking they could do a couple of small bathrooms no problem. All we wanted to do was replace the old vanity in the MAIN bath, the medicine cabinet, light fixtures, and toilet, and paint the walls, ceilings, closet, and both doors. The tub, all original wall and floor tile remained. In the MASTER bath, we had just removed the wallpaper and found the plaster needed repair in spots. We had them take the wooden vanity in there outside where I could clean/paint it. We resurfaced it with a marble top and new sink/faucets and hardware and put it back in the MAIN bath where it matched better with the look of the tile. We bought a new vanity for the MASTER bath, replaced the medicine cabinet, light fixtures, and put in new flooring. We also wanted the walls, ceiling, door, and baseboards painted. The tub in the MASTER of course remained.

With the exception of 2 guys that were here on the kitchen job, the rest of his crew was different. Due to the economy, some had moved away for better jobs. These guys revolved thru here each day so no 2 knew what the other 2 were doing. Things were being done arse backwards. Medicine cabs installed before plaster work finished on the wall around them, as were vanities before baseboard walls repaired where they sat, etc. I kept bringing this up but everyone acted like it would "work out." Well of course it didn't, and vanities had to be pulled away and medicine cabinets taken back down, etc.

Then the painter came. I told him everything in this house that we hadn't painted yet was still painted with oil paint and had to be primed first before using latex. He assured me he knew what he was doing, had been doing it for years. (Go sit in your corner lady and leave it to the pro, in other words.) So he took the paint and primer (which he purchased and receipted me for) upstairs along with some guy, told me he had to finish another job and will be back later and left.

The guy intro's himself and gets to work in the MASTER bath off the bedroom. I go do something else. That afternoon around 3:45 his boss comes back and instead of staying and helping him, he picks him up and they leave. I go in my bedroom and it was a holy mess!! If you can imagine someone shaking bags of flour all over your room, your dresser, bed, curtains, floor-- even the clothes in my closet were dusted over with plaster dust! The guy had sanded the walls but didn't bother to cover the bathroom doorway w/the plastic roll they left laying in the hall! I was furious! I was up to midnight cleaning up before I could even get into bed. Oh yes, apologies the next day, but... The head painter left a 2nd boy there with the 1st the next day to finish the MAIN bath. They pulled out around 2:00 and I left for a doc appointment 15 minutes later so I really didn't look at the work. By the time I got home later after the doc and a bunch of errands, I was tired and still didn't pay much attention, but I did notice when I went in the MAIN bath that it was sticky. I just thought it hadn't had time to dry.

The next morning it was not only sticky, but peeling and running off the doors! You could swipe your finger over it and it came right off. They hadn't used the primer!! I also noticed they had dripped gobs of paint all over the wall tile, floor, the new light fixtures, medicine cabinet, marble sink, the new toilet, and had ground plaster into my oriental rug in the bedroom... the list goes on and on. I was sick mad!! Hubby came home from his trip that day and called the guy to get his a** up here! The head construction guy came up and saw it also. He blew his top on the guy, but not in front of us because the painter never showed up at our house, the coward, lol! But what a mess. "C" had to get a couple of his guys to come from another job and take the doors back to his shop to strip them and repaint them, and strip the doorframes baseboards here and repaint, and clean up the rest of the mess. A 1-week job turned into 2+. He's supposed to lower the bill also. My blood pressure and I will let you know if that happens ;)

So that's my sorry story. Aren't you sorry you asked? LOL.

EjcOs Vodka Tonic
in my opinion the ultimate summer drink is the Vodka tonic, it is simple , cool and effective
get yourself some Vodka ( i like Kettle one )
get yourself some ice (big square cubes, dont be gay with your ice)
get yourself some lemons (cut TWO lemons in half, squeeze each, a little, not fully, and drop them bad boys in a Tall glass)
thats it, ice , booze, lemons
EjcOs V8 Mary ( vroom varrooommV8, get it?vroooom )
the Bloody Mary is a highly under rated drink
Get some vodka
Get a nice GLASS bottle of V8 or Campbells Tomato juice
NEVER use tomato juice from a can, most Bars do by the way..which is why its better to get into a drink and make it at homewell this one anywaya vodka tonic is do-able by any shaved monkey with the title of bartender. tomatos in cans with dramatic temperature changes ( ie: ice) are a hellishly bad combo for food poisoning , add booze to a canned veggie and you got yourself a nice recipe for stomach hell
Get yourself a stalk of celery, Stir with it AND yes you can eat it (very much what i look for in a woman, Badumpshee)
add the following in a dash or splash to your liking:
salt, pepper, hot sauce, worcheister sauce, ive even seen peeps throw some BBQ or steak sauce in there for some taste you gotta stir to get the effect of/ out of ( golds prepared Horseradish ( not horseraddish sauce) is mad good too, but thats kind of advanced Bloody Mary behaviour
load it up with ice, tall glass, great drink to nurse in warm weather.
i recently had one with a bacon flavored vodka , and it sounds gross but was outstanding.i would never BUY a bottle of bacon flavored vodka or Peppar or Citrus whatever, leave that to the barwhen at home it is always mad good to throw a good bottle of unflavored vodka in the freezer, it wont freeze and you never know when hot russian women want to throw that red star at ya , winky winky.
Which brings me to this one:
Red Taurus with its Headlights on
(this is MY invention you dregs, give me credit when you steal it!)
I once read that the Ceasar Salad was born from some restaurant owner who had mad people and very little food so he used what he had with stale bread and invented a masterpiece.so did I, but unlike that shmuck I got laid..i met a russian woman at a museum and we agreed that we were horny and boredwe went to her friends place who, for some fucking reason had cases of red bull, water, juice etc in their hallway..we proceeded to drink and fuck and ponder what level of Swag and russian black marketness her friend was involved in and we invented this:
Can of Red Bull
little splash of grape juice
little splash of tequila
a few shots of vodka
Ice in a mad tall glass
shot of lemon juice from a squeezee thingee ( we had no lemons and when i tried this another time with real lemons it hella sucked, i dont know why)
Red Bull might give YOU wings , this womans mouth gave me a fucking harp and a halo
We loved it, now she even drinks it with her husband, suuuuucker.
Never EVER drive drunk or with someone who is, i was engaged to a woman that was killed by a drunk driver and my favorite uncle drove into a bog in ireland in a rented car, blind fucking drunkso as crazy and harsh as i come across i am not an asshole in life or WITH it.. if your not a drinker, just dont drink, drinking well is an art and the vast majority of people suck at it, they truly do. Trust me I am FBI (full blown irish)
In general the BEST drinking is with a date at home all chilled and with mad good ingredients.bars are expensive and here in NYC you cant even smoke in them so what the hell am i paying so much for? the bar decor? fuck that shit.although I love a few quiet pints of Guinness in a proper irish pub for drinking and converstatinginging
And my last piece of drinking advise: If you are a bartender or playing one for the night and HAVE to wear a tie, make sure it is a clip on one because I can tell you from first hand experience and quite a few nose breaking ( not mine ) fights that when a drunk has you by the tie ( or a chain or similar thing if female) you, my friend are more fucked than a whore near an ATM. you will find out might quick when a drunk has his hands on you..a bad drunk can snap in a second and there is a reason why BAR is derived from the word BARRIERkeep yourself alive and ALWAYS have Italian friends nearby with large trunks short memories
Now that I have scared the piss outta ya, Heeeeey enjoy your nice weather drinking peeps!!!.

I am in the new place. My Verizon FiOS phone and fax are finally working. The numbers were crossed with my upstairs neighbors, and it took a while to get that sorted out. No fax in this business....for a week? Now thats a challenge. I can scan and email, but receiving. Thats a challenge.
I am starting to sort of know where things are: coffee in the kitchen seems to have found its place. Make-up still needs to find a home in the bathroom, mostly because I need either a medicine cabinet or a glass shelf above the faucet.
The main areas are unpacked with the exception of my office. The office is only sort of unpacked, although good progress was made today. The sample areas the supply area and the product catalogues are still in boxes. It will take some time to get everything right. For a few reasons. One is that I want to make sure whatever I buy has a strong green commitment. Another is that some of my existing furniture does not fit. My most beloved desk did not fit in my office door, so its hanging out in the basement where all my samples are going to live.Right now it just has stuff on it. Its so wonderful andold school.I have a love affair with that desk. I am going to miss it.
Whats a girl to do without a desk? I had a folding table set up that housed a computer, a lamp, a phone and some other basics. But it wasnt enough, especially without shelving for many of the day- to-day basics. Now I have 2 folding tables set up. More good news -- today the checkbook was located along with the vendor receipts pile. You see I have very routinized processes. Mail goes here, checks go here, paperwork for clients there. The routines are desk-dependent soI have to create some makeshift system in the meantime.
Change is just an opportunity for improvement so maybe theres something new on the horizon. Thats what I keep telling myself.

And the rest, you ask?

Curbside finds from this morning, back home!!
I'm always amazed at what some people will just *throw away* in the garbage!!

Since it's a holiday here, and it's sunny, I decided to check around if there was some garage sales, while keeping an eye on the trash, since it's trash day. Boy did I ever score!
First up, I found 2 dressers (not pictured, they're still in the trailer). One of them is the same size as the one I found last week, but better quality, so my daughter will get that one instead. And a narrower one, also for my daughter. Both need makeover: paints and hardware, but I will love doing that!!

Then I found the wicker shelf unit, perfect condition, just needs to be cleaned and repainted! Perfect for my bathroom (which I want to redecorate NOW)

The small table, I actually found on thursday. It doesnt look like much, but it's gonna look fab soon! And I was just looking for an end table for that couch on the right, so it's perfect! woohoo!!

Then I saw THE chair! That old rocking chair that looks like it's seen better days. I did not hesitate and put it in my car. LOVE all the detailing on top. This chair will need a LOT of TLC. 2 of the bars on the back are not originals, one of the legs is no longer glued to the bottom rocking piece.
the hubby says it cannot be done! What do you think?

On the same street, I found that huge wicker vase, the frames, the teddy bear (my daughter collects teddies) and that old sewing box!! The frames have nothing interesting in them, but the frames are pretty cool and will look great painted and repurposed!!

So go on over to Rhoda's Southern Hospitality blog to see more Thrifty finds by other bloggers. I love mondays, when i can just browse all the thrifty goodness everyone's found.

The weekends are bathroom and kitchen cleaning days for me. I love scrubbing, cleansing, and spiffing these spaces. There is something satisfying (soothing even) about getting instant results. Dusting and vacuuming make me cheery as well, but forget sorting and organizing...eek! Since I am a bit of a sanitation freak, I have typically reached for strong chemical cleaners and paper products. Although my husband and I only generate one kitchen-sized trash can (13 gallon) of garbage every two weeks (we are heavy recyclers), I started to realize that almost all of that garbage was (dirty) paper--and most of it from kitchen/bathroom maintenance. I knew there was a better way, I was just leery of the effectiveness of "green" and "natural" products. I also wasn't into getting too friendly with the gunk I was cleaning, and paper gave me that safe distance. Well, I'm over it. No more prissy cleaning. I hope to eventually make my own cleaning products from water, lemon juice, baking soda, and vinegar (not necessarily together), but for now I am using up the Green Works products I have and scrubbing and drying with reusable cloths.

Today's cleaning gear: 1) Green Works toilet cleaner bathroom cleaner, 2) reusable scrub clothes (mine are Viva, but when these are ready to retire, I'm moving on to good old fashioned cotton towels and a natural sponges), 3) an old toothbrush, 4) super absorbent reusable towels (mine are from Trader Joe's--I only use them to wipe up spills--my paper towel alternative), 5) and Air Therapy orange (non-aerosol, 100% biodegradable, orange peel oil). I use this room spray to freshen smelly garbage cans and musty closets.

I am sorry I wasn't able to post pictures today and I will tell you why.

While the bathroom was done I realized the color of the bathroom vanity and medicine cabinet didnt go with the new wall paint so I decided to paint them white...... now I am waiting for them to dry and then re-attach the doors to the vanity and I will post pictures, promise!

I can tell you that my vinyl sheeps and crows are up and they look so cute.... I am thinking about later adding wallpaper border but most suggest NOT adding wallpaper to bathrooms since it gets moist in there.... I GOT IT! I can stencil around the top.... there you have it, I now have another task to complete but I can tell you one thing, the stenciling is surely going to have to wait while I complete some other much needed projects around the house.

Stay tuned for pictures tomorrow.

Painting Cabinets
Mindful of my self-imposed time constraints of two weekends to finish my bathroom makeover, I tried to streamline the cabinet-painting process without sacrificing the end result. Here’s what I did:
Step 1: Remove hardware, doors, and drawers. I was able to eke out enough space in the tub and in front of it to place all of the doors and drawers surface-side up in preparation for painting. In drier weather I would have set them up in the garage, but with damp springtime conditions I didn’t want to risk extending primer and paint drying time.
Step 2: Clean all surfaces. I mixed a bit of dishwashing detergent in hot water and gave all the surfaces a good scrub. Any all-purpose cleaner should do the trick. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry completely.
Step 3: Sand the cabinets. Some folks suggest sanding the entire surface. To save time I just ran my fingers over the surfaces to find any rough spots and sanded only those places. If you have the time, sanding the entire cabinet will result in an even better finished surface.
Step 4: Prime the surfaces. Since only my immediate family ever sees this room, I decided to prime and paint the exterior surfaces only and skip the door and drawer interiors. For past projects I’ve always used KILZ as a stainblocker/primer.

All the vanities in the bathrooms were completely replaced and granite tops were added along with new faucets,plumbing, of course, and toilets etc.
In the kitchen, the cabinet boxes were still good. I refaced them with maple wood veneer stained in cherry and new maple doors and hardware, plumbing fixtures and a microwave oven was added. The counter top was replaced with granite and the sink counter extended 12 in. beyond the half wall to create a short bar into the dining area.
The floor was replaced with 20 in. porcelain tile set on a bias throughout the house and is now the only flooring material. This adds to the over all flow of the homes layout, to have a continuous floor. Its important to use a similar  grout color, like the tile, to prevent ending up with a checker board look. The paint also, is the same neutral color through out the house for the same reason.

Yes.  You read that right.  Im tearing out the beadboard and redoing all of it.
Its moments like this that make me wonder what in the heck I was thinking in the first place.
Heres how it went:
Originally, the bathroom had beadboard that reached up to 4 feet from the floor.  Because I wanted to avoid light switches and the medicine cabinet, I decided to go with 3 1/2 feet fom the floor.  My baseboard is 6 high in the bathroom and the floor is very uneven.  When I headed to Menards and Home Depot, I found the only pre-cut they had was 31 high (for a total of 37 from the floor), and I needed it to reach 42.  Had I taken the 31 from the top of my baseboard, the wainscot would have come 1/2 way up the wall behind my pedestal sink and really looked wrong.  So, my solution was to start the 31 wainscot 4 higher than the baseboard figuring that if I use a nice trim piece to cover the area between the bottom of the wainscot and the top of the baseboard it would be fine.  Bad idea.  The floor was so uneven that the gap spread to 5 1/4.
I got all of it installed and realized that nobody had 5 1/4 wide trim that would sit flush on top of my baseboard.  Besides that, it made my baseboards 10 1/2 high and looked bad.
My solution was to remove the 6 baseboard and buy flat stock of 1 x 12 x 8s and cut to fit, thus covering all of the ugly at the bottom.  I got it done and realized how stupid 12 high baseboards look.  If I had had a routing table with a good ogee I might have been able to run the top of the 12 stock through and make it look more like it should be there, but of course I dont have a routing table so that didnt happen.
My final solution to the whole thing is to remove the 12 high baseboard and the 31 high beadboard and start over.  This time, Im reinstalling the 6 baseboards and instead of buying 31 wainscot Im buying the 8 wainscot kits and cutting them to fit at each place on the wall at their level mark.  This way, there will be no gaps between the bottom of the wainscot and the top of the baseboard and a simple 1/4 round will trim it out nicely. 
I had not seen the 8 kits until I had had the 31 installed.  I think it comes out to actually being less money, go figure.  So, this past two weeks Ive managed to throw good after bad and end up spending about $130 on nothing not to mention spending hours and hours on labor.  It really stinks and it gives me pains every time I think about it, but you know what?  I wont make that mistake again.
Studying physics never looked so darned inviting!
So, the plan is with the next monetary installment, I go buy 4- 8 kits and get started on the lower bathroom.  I still have hope itll be installed and painted by Easter on 4/12/09.

Theres nothing I like better than a pretty, midcentury toilet. This 1959 Ellis model from Eljer has wonderful lines, and came in 7 decorator colors including this great shade of pistachio green that is heading in a straight line toward avocado.
The text says that the toilet, along with coordinating bathtub and wallhung sink on chrome legs, were designed by the Dave Chapman firm. Chapman was a well-known industrial designer and seems to have had a long career with Montgomery Ward, in particular. See his IDSA bio here. Eljer has existed since 1904 and along with Crane, is today part of the American Standard brand. I keep an eye on Eljers product line As far as retro renovation choices, they have one wall-hung sink (Murray II) and several simple toilets (with some of my favorite names: TitanPatroit!) worth a look.

Birds add activity and color to your garden and what better way to enjoy them then to provide them with birdhouses where they can nest and raise their young. This adds a unique dimension to your outdoor living as you can watch the adults bring back food and anxiously await for the day when the little ones will fly off on their own.
But hanging a birdhouse in your yard has more value than just to entertain you. In modern times man has encroached on the native habitat of many nesting birds and some of these birds have nowhere to build their nests. In fact, some species have declined significantly since the 1950s due to mans zest to build strip malls and apartment buildings in the space where forests once stood.
The birds hardest hit by this are cavity nesting birds - birds which build their nests inside hollows or cavities. These are the birds that you can most help by hanging a birdhouse in your yard and include the Downey Woodpecker, the Chickadee, the Plain Titmouse, the House Wren, and the Red Breasted Nuthatch.
Depending on which type of bird you want to attract you want to hang your birdhouse at a different height. Believe it or not, birds a very particular about this. If you want to attract the Titmouse, Red Breasted Nuthatch or Downey Woodpecker then you want to be sure that the birdhouse is time between 5 and 15 feet high. The House Wren, on the other hand, doesnt like their nest to be quite so high and you want to keep that between 5 and 10 feet. The Chickadee, will go a little lower and you can hang his between 4 and 15 feet. Generally, if you hang the birdhouse between 5 and 10 feet in height you have a chance of attracting any one of these birds.
In addition to hanging one or more birdhouses, you can also attract birds into your yard by putting a bird feeder and a birdbath. Then they might happen across the birdhouse while they are feeding and think its a great place to build a nest.
Birdhouses can be hung on trees and fences on poles or anywhere else so you can imagine. Typically, you want the birdhouse to be stable so the way most people hang them is to screw them from the back into a tree or other solid post. If you can get a birdhouse that comes on a metal pole that can be good for your birds because that makes it harder for squirrels and raccoons to get up into the baby birds. You want to keep the birdhouse away from your own house or other areas of activity since most birds will find it too busy to nest there.
Since birds start building a nest in the spring you want to make sure you have the house out well before they are looking for new accommodations. So plan to hang it around February or March so you can be ready for your new bird family.
If you are planning on using the birdhouse year after year, you want to clean it out after each nesting season. Its pretty easy to tell when the birds are done nesting as there will be no activity around the birdhouse. When baby birds are in there you will see the mother flying in with food quite frequently. If you think the nest is empty go over and tap on the box and if you hear nothing its okay to take it down and clean out.
Dont use a harsh chemicals when cleaning your birdhouse, simply brush it out and maybe use water to wipe it down. Be sure it is dried out and store it away for the winter. Then, in the following February you can hang it up to get ready for the next years nesting season.

The room also had a perfectly good, yet ugly, medicine cabinet. THGGM ripped it out of the wall and added this thrifted piece. We left the old lights. I think they are kind of cool. My collection of cobalt glass odds and ends are in the hole left by the inset from the old medicine cabinet and are also perched on top of it. I cannot get far enough back to get a decent picture of it.

The Bathroom Re-Do continues. Over the weekend the bathroom was basically gutted. We took out the tub, sink, cabinets, toilet, medicine cabinets, old flooring... EVERYTHING! It looks like a blank canvas just waiting to be filled. Wes has been working on the tub plumbing. We are going from two separate knobs to a central knob. One of the best things we are doing is raising the shower head. The kids complained for years about being able to wash their hair with the head being so low. Now that they are all grown, and TALL, we think we will go ahead and raise it up a few inches. The new tub enclosure doesn't come already with a hole, so we can decide and make the hole ourselves. We picked up a shower curtain bar that is curved to give you more arm room too. It's going to be nice. If we have the money, we are going to add a tiled section around the tub enclosure too. We were looking at the tub enclosure yesterday at Home Depot and wouldn't you know it's on the same aisle as the potty's. They are so reasonable, I think I've convinced Wes to get a new one of those too. Everything will be brand spankin' new. Hurrah.
