Title: My Wife has been bitten by the HGTV remodel bug :(
Post by: RG on April 08, 2018, 06:28:34 PM
It's a terrible disease. It renders the husband unable  to keep his wallet closed. It started off with "just paint". What a fool I was to believe her. Learn from my mistake gents, it's NEVER "just paint". :P

I’ve been in yours shoe many times... I get it. I wonder if our wives ever complain about our “cooker issue”?  People are funny ;)

Sounds like this topic should be renamed "The Neverending Story."

Just sayin'...

On more than one occasion, I’ve seen my wife’s eyes roll back into her head to the point I wasn’t sure they were gonna return... lol.

I guess I will count my blessings as my Wife is as much of a grill hoarder as I am :) She's a bad influence, an enabler if you will! LOL

Uh huh... I can see a conversation going like this:


Mrs. RG:  Honey I want to buy "X" for the kitchen.

RG: Do we really need it? That's a lot of money.

Mrs. RG: (whispers to self while counting on fingers) Let's see there was that BBQ cooker, and then there was the newer one...

RG: Closes mouth and opens wallet!    :'( :D

I think anyone who's been married over 20 years knows their place.  And those of us who been married over 35 just do what the hell were told.  It's easier that way.

Well folks, it's getting closer. All that's left is the entry way by the garage and some new wall plates and touch up paint here and there. Then I need to paint the door by the table and hang a Roman shade. Oh, and I ordered a frosted glass door for the pantry that won't be in until the end of the month so maybe I'm not almost done, lol!

It doesn't seem like much but all I've done is paint our island, hung some new light fixtures and painted the walls. Mrs. RG has done A LOT of it herself, especially the entry way, which is not suitable for sharing pics just yet, she'd hurt me real bad if I did :P

Lot's of decorating, farmhouse style stuff, a little craft work on her part, building the faux window shutters and such. I'm proud of her! She doesn't need me around, she can get things done!

Here's a few pics, I'm proud of her so please excuse my bragging on her, lol!

Her coffee bar that she wanted, to free up counter space

Her window and shutters craft. She's good with a miter saw and a brad nailer!

When the whole shebang is done, I'll share the final pics of her other work as long as y'all don't mind. If any of the other gents or ladies on here want to show your projects, I love that kind of stuff and would like to see it!

Great Job Steph!!  oh, and you too Jason.... :D
Looks like a professional decorator was hired.
We like the lighting, that's something we need to work on in our kitchen.

Thanks for the compliments y'all. I must admit that I am not a huge fan of "country" decorating, I like a more modern theme but happy wife = happy life so I let her do her thing. With that said, I think she did a nice job with it and I like it for the most part I suppose.

This was move in day back in 2004. There were all white appliances that were moved out to the garage on this day, Lowe's delivered the new stuff just before this pic was taken.

This was after the linoleum was replaced with tile, notice the fruit motif :P

We have put this poor kitchen through hell, I hope she's done with it finally, lol!
