Is That the Same Garage?!

It's been A LOT of work, but we got the garage gym together and we are SO excited. 

Here's the progression of the work done ..  

1. We wanted to use this corner of our 2.5 bay garage for the gym, but there wasn't enough headspace for the rig and the floor was slopped. (The entire floor was gross, too.)

2. We hired contractors to take up the ceiling and build a little deck to even out the floor. Rolling weight bars are just unsafe.

3. Then, we painted the whole garage (well almost), and as much as we could before the floor epoxy guys shows up to finish the floor.

4. The floor epoxy was my favorite level-up. The floor was a gross mess with gunk in every corner. It was amazing to walk into the garage without shoes. 

5. Then, we pulled together the gym! Lots of light. Room for the rig. A chalkboard to record PR and workouts. And the black mats to protect it all. 



It's exactly what we were hoping to end up with. The next thing we need to do is some organization and shelving. And that DANG ceiling. Neither of us has any desire to paint that ceiling. 

There's a tool and paint area for my projects that for sure needs organization. I'll show you that next.

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
