Restoring a 1911 prairie-style Craftsman that history books call the Armstrong Mansion. For 60 years it was the Hope House. Welcome to my Idahome.
I tell myself we’re just doing the same as those folks that built our historic houses. They would’ve used up every little thing ☺️

Mine was too! It was too embarrassing to take a before picture of but it’s taken all week to get worked out. I know! I scanned one piece to see where I got it and it’s 4x more expensive than last year!

Organized the basement/workshop. Measured all the various trim pieces to see if I can start working on the next room without spending any money. Likely…not lol

I love this! I’m usually already planning (our last frost isn’t until almost Memorial Day) but I’ve felt a little overwhelmed with starting this year. Y’all will motivate me!

I’ll be honest, as a mostly solo DIYer, I use this ChatGPT prompt before starting something big: “I want to learn about [TOPIC]. Identify and share the most important 20% of learnings from this topic that will help me understand 80% of this subject.

I’m wondering if it’s the HVAC? Where it’s been so cold it’s kicking on more and messing up the indoor climate? That’s all I can think of…

I’ll be honest, I had no luck with a money tree that a friend gifted me. But this winter has been particularly hard on my houseplants. Never had any issues and now I’ve got several drying up and powdery mildew on others.

Hopefully this picture helps. I built a valance box to hide the curtains behind the crown molding and hung the IKEA Vidga track on the ceiling.
