Have you ever wondered if you could modernize your solid oak interior doors with some interior door painting? Well, when we purchased this house, like most of those who were built in the 90’s early 2000’s time frame they are outfitted with that ever so wonderful honey oak stain! Well, we weren’t too keen on the honey oak (or oak in general), so we decide to transform the house by painting EVERYTHING in the house; trim, doors, rails, you name it we painted it.

Our back deck is an elevated concrete slab that was finished with a pebble finish that has been smoothed with epoxy, however, it has seen better days! This leads us to our first project, removing a 20+ year old pebble epoxy finish that has not been maintained and exposed to the elements the whole entire time. It was flaking off small pebbles to the point that you could sweep them off with a broom. A first project while it was...
