It'll be fun to see what url I get out of that title.

The bearded eye-roller has been doing some home improvement. Anybody that knows him in 3d, would probably faint at the suggestion because he's not a do-it-your-selfer. Not in the least.

We have three big renovations we'd like to do to the house. In order (based on cost- not need, obviously):

1. Wine room


2. Cover the upstairs deck and turn it into an exercise room, which will allow us to turn the old exercise room into a third guest bedroom


3. Completely re-do the master bath

The wine room is adjacent to our laundry area and is perfect for what BER has in mind. Part of it is in a closed closet (the actual wine room) where the wine racks (and wine) go. Right outside of the wine room is an area with a very large window that goes out to our back patio (where BER envisions serving wine at parties).

So far, he's ordered the racks and they're sitting in our garage waiting to be installed; he's painted the wine room and the serving area; and he's purchased a fabulous piece of antique furniture from China.

I'm awfully impressed with his mad painting skillz. He did a faux finish, using three different colors so it gives it a Tuscan look.

Today is the fun day (NOT). He's going to lay down the laminate tile. It looks like real tile until you touch it. It's laid like Pergo- something I'm VERY familiar with since I installed Pergo myself throughout the upstairs and downstairs of my last house- all together about 2000 square feet of the stuff.

I'll take pictures once it's done, if for no other reason than to prove that BER really CAN do home improvement projects himself.

I hope he understands that now I see he can do these sorts of things, his 'honey do' list just got a LOT longer.
