Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler OT: Home Owner Bliss...on the web

I finally put together a little web page of pictures from our home buying adventure. I'll update as things happen...

New Home

Nice - I like the trim in the bedroom - no shots of you, though I notice....or of the beauties (axioms), though I think I caught a glimpse of them in their boxes...

You'll have to update the site with soem finished pics of the hardwood and the home theater soon.

Congrats again on the nwe place! Exciting.

Ooh, I'm jealous. The place looks great (even with the holes in the wall, unpainted, etc...)

Congrats again!

Really liked the bedroom with dark beams and white ceiling. And doing the door trim in the same color as the beams was inspired. I know, in many ways, it's been a giant PITA, but some parts are really fun, aren't they? Enjoy!

Wow, the place is shaping up and will look great. I especially like the color you chose for the beams and trim. It works really well!

I also would like to see pictures when everything is patched painted and setup!

It is shaping up nicely, but I'm not sure I'd call it fun. Well...changing the door knobs was fun, because it was easy and made a big difference in looks with little fuss, and expense.

We can't go back in until Saturday, as the floors are being done now. I'll be setting up the living room with my HT gear, on Sunday, so there'll be lots more pictures.

great looking space spiff.. thanks for sharing.

now you need to get on one of those TV, remodel your house type shows, and see what they can do with it. they usually do an awesome job, and its almost all FREE.

Except they make decorations with construction paper and macaroni. If Spiff wanted that, he'd just have kids!

Seriously, there's been a few people on those shows who have complained about the money they had to put in afterwards to fix what the show screwed up.

Yeah - I mean a $1000 budget might get you an estimate, and not much more, to redo a room.

Because they use such crap materials, the life of the "improvements" has to be short lived...Also, I bet the quality looks very different in person than it does on camera. Things like texture and "weight" really don't show up on the screen.

thats very true.. some do a good job, some do a bad job. i dont know if thats a risk i would want to take.. BUT, its craigs house, not mine.. so, go ahead and do it.

i saw one show where the lady glued hay to the walls.. i kid you not, HAY.. like what horses eat..i swear, if i could, i would have shot her right thru the TV.
