My Mr. Techno has many skills but home improvement is not one of them (and, sadly, never will be). Kudos to you, Layla & Kevin, for your courage, your ingenuity, and your tenacity. It is a pleasure to witness the transformation of your Lettered Cottage.<br /><br />I really do wonder what was going through the former homeowners' minds when they picked that hideous color- gah!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228428476046113736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-88177653324723453952009-11-10T13:37:22.422-06:002009-11-10T13:37:22.422-06:00Everything is coming along great.

I just posted today my experience with painting the old faucets. Yea...you heard that right but all is well! ;)<br /><br />My husband and I also learn as we go and he's not a carpenter either. You should have seen the "fun house" tilt to the grape arbor. Of course, he says it was the broken level that we picked up an estate sale.

I have always been a DIY girl but my husband has married in to it, lol. He is in the Air Force and a Computer Scientist gone awry into DIY! :) We have learned a lot in the process as well, everything from drywall, how to get rid of popcorn ceilings to texturizing. I wouldn't change any of it...love it!! <br /><br /> I love what you are going to do with your bathroom, I have been looking for old dressers to use in mine for the vanity as well. Can't wait to see the Farmhouse vanity...I am sure it will look beautiful! <br /><br /> Thanks for always adding a laugh to my day by your fun videos and love your vision for the Lettered Cottage...gorgeous! <br /><br />Have a wonderful day and week to come!! :)<br /><br />Hugs,<br />~Victoria~Victoria Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475170017543951636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-34347228784553426782009-11-10T11:37:45.751-06:002009-11-10T11:37:45.751-06:00Looking forward to seeing the harvest table vanity...Looking forward to seeing the harvest table vanity.

Please consider measuring the depth of the folded towels, and finding your baskets first (as other have suggested). I would also consider cutting down to 18" or 15" first to see how that feels and works for your plans for what the shelves will hold. You can always cut them smaller. Anyway, good luck, I'm sure whatever you decide on will look fabulous!Jbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584575962116011011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-65071374952657201062009-11-10T10:30:50.451-06:002009-11-10T10:30:50.451-06:00I can't wait to see it all done, the paint mak...I can't wait to see it all done, the paint makes it look so much better all ready! If you haven't cut them all ready make them 13" instead of 12". Then most things you buy will fit as baskets are usually 12'' deep. A little cabinetry lesson for you. :)Bekkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474646910738265256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-34309421023348026882009-11-10T10:17:16.388-06:002009-11-10T10:17:16.388-06:00Love what you are doing!

It's almost exactly what we're hoping to do in our guest bath all the way down to the built-ins! So share the details "Kevla" :)<br /><br />We're planning on a traditional pedestal sink, though, instead of the farm table. Although, a farm table will be GORGEOUS!!!

We tore everything out, new sheetrock, sub-floor, and a whole new bathtub shower unit, added a linen closet and new light fixtures and a huge mirror. We love it now, but what a mess and project.
