    ***OFFICIAL What home projects do you do?***

    So lately I have been doing a ton of remodeling in my condo. I just laid down some hardwood floors where there was carpet before, and now I am trying to figure out how to build homemade legs for my new king size sleep number. I could easily buy them for 180$ from sleep number, but what fun is that? They sell you these shitty plastic pegs, and I feel like I could build something at home that is much better.

    Here is a picture of my floor before and after. The before picture is at the point where I had already ripped up the carpet, and there was linoleum flooring I had also ripped up. Took a LOT of scraping to get the entire floor even to lay the wood.

    As you can see I still need to finish the trim on all SEVEN doorways in this tiny little hallway of ours.


    Has anyone ever built homemade legs for a bed? Or another method of raising your bed? I HAVE Googled it, and it's difficult to find information on it. All help is appreciated.

    Another project I am working on is I took a plain looking old shelf and painted it, and put a background into it. I'm not finished though. On the bottom left side I am putting a ton of corks from wine bottles to make a cork board, and on the bottom right side I have some chalkboard paint I am going to apply. Here is where I've gotten so far.

    As I said this bottom picture still needs the chalkboard paint and corks on the bottom half where I have not painted yet.


    Anyone else do any kind of building etc like this? Next I'll show you what we did we our kitchen cabinets.

    Flame away...

    busted. The shelf is hers, but I helped work on it. The kitchen cabinets I am going to post were also her idea


    The floor was all me though! And I need to find a way to raise my bed. My dad suggested cinder blocks, but I'd like to paint them if I went that route

    Our cabinets were just plain white wood so my girlfriend found something cool on Pinterest. She took all the cabinets off and put in a fabric background to make everything visible. I was on the fence at first, but I like it. It's different. Also as a bonus I bought a window frame, and my girlfriend is a weirdo about flowers. Anytime we go on a hike or walk she has to pick flowers from somewhere. She brings them home and flattens them for a few weeks and puts them in her little art projects. I will post more of them and you will see. So here are our cabinets after. I don't think I have any old pictures of them, but as I said they were just plain white cabinets like the ones you still see in the middle section. We decided not to do those.

    Good eye Pooh. I didn't look all that close until I saw your comment. It's laminate or engineered hardwood but probably laminate. Looks good.

    I like the color. It's the same color as my hardwood. Red oak.

    & simpdog, you can tell by the joint in front of the door on the left & a few other spots. It looks like 2 boards end in the same place which is something you'd never do with real hardwood.

    Laminate was a much better choice for a place like that.

    Shouldn't we get PFA's resident hardwood floor expert Garrett on the case?

    In front of a entrance, for sure. I went with ceramic tile in the entrance ways, bathrooms & kitchen but had to hire a guy to do it since I didn't have the time to figure it out or the desire.

    I used laminate downstairs. It does a good job & looks good.

    1) awesome, was curious about that

    2) congrats, great time to take the ownership plunge.
