The Bois Bungalow

Michelle - you found the *perfect* green/blue color for that sitting room - love it! Just pops against the white trim.

Your remodeling is just wonderful!! I love it that you are doing your own work. It's very fulfilling, once it's all done. Lol! You will enjoy your home for many, many years to come. I also love your colors! You've really done well!!

Had a DIY "oops" today & thought of this thread.

I built recessed shelving in the hallway (above where ZoE's potty area is) to store her pee pads & grooming tools. It looks & works great!

So, I thought I'd build recessed shelving in my bathroom, in an area that's boxed out around a pipe. Well, I sawed a big rectangle in the drywall, and then stood back to envision how it was going to look....and immediately regretted it.

The shelving would be way too narrow & way too shallow and basically would just look ridiculous!

So, tomorrow I will be doing a bit of drywall repair and mudding all weekend as humidity is crazy here right now, so it will probably take a few days to dry between coats.

Anyone else have DIY things not quite turn out as you'd envisioned?
