Imhoff Homestead :: Office Sneak Peek #2

Monday, February 20, 2017

It's funny how I have always heard of people starting one project, and then before it's done, starting another one ... but that is in fact exactly what has happened at our house!  I keep thinking ... we'll get back to it, but the truth is, it's been delayed, however, will be picked up again this coming week!

So now that hubs has been super busy "building things."  We have created a bit of a monster in the garage.  In fact, all of our "projects" begin out there, and the work and debris were becoming overwhelming.  Like ... I can barely walk through the garage ... insert huge "grimacing face" emoji here!

BUT ... that only made us realize we desperately need some organization to have and keep a functional garage.  SO ... operation office, briefly became, operation garage overhaul.  Thanks to our good friends over at Home Depot, we were able to find exactly what we needed!

While Hubs is working in the garage, I decided it was time to figure out once and for all which paint we would use on the shiplap and the walls.  Here is the final decision. I am SO excited that I found the absolute perfect paint color via Magnolia Home.  I can't wait to see the room completely change when we slap this up over the next few weeks!


Work will be interupted due to Spring Break, but by the end of March, this puppy should be completed!

You are Berry Awesome - Happy Valentine's Day from Imhoff Homestead

Happy Valentine's Day from Imhoff Homestead!

Aren't these Berry Awesome Vday Gifts awesome?!  I can't take the credit. I picked these up from a friend this year, but I made a few for myself and for additional gifts but the idea was all hers.  I just love the way they look and they are so easy to gift.  I was able to make 5 myself for under $15.00.  They are mixed with Hersey Kisses, Peppermint Patties.  I think next time I make them I will add those strawberry hard candies to make it look more "berry" like to go with the theme.  But these turned out perfect!  We're gifting these to teachers, admins, co-workers, and our nanny!


We also make Valentine's Day Boxes ... both kids picked their themes.  Braeden of course opted for Football, and Bear decided he wanted his to be a dog.  He settled for a dog house with a photo of Murph attached thank goodness!







Thankful for the memories the kids and I made together while making valentines and boxes, and that we're able to share the gift of kindness and love to others.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Imhoff Home :: Updated Laundry Room

Friday, February 3, 2017
Imhoff' Homestead :: Laundry Room Reveal

This is the project that was never meant to be.  I distinctively remember when we were building the home a few years ago saying to our builder and Hubs, "No, I don't want cabinets in the laundry room.  I'll never use them and it's just another upgrade."  I would rather spend the money on something people see ... oh Silly girl!  Trust me, you WANT ... NEED cabinets in the laundry room.  I have seriously had these puppies a week and I am trying to remember how I managed before hand!!

It really all started with Crosbie, our sweet Dane.  He literally has a kennel the size of a small apartment, and for the longest time that beautiful wire cage was in our bedroom ... the horror!  It wasn't until Christmas time when we packed it up and took it back home with us that I realized just how much space I had in my bedroom when it wasn't put up.  I knew from that moment on I was not going to put it back up in our room.  BUT, I needed to find space for it... I mean this thing is HUGE!  Since I didn't have much in the laundry room I thought, Bingo, I'll put it in there.  After an hour of Ryan making it "fit" in the space, it took me 2 seconds to realize ... nope ... this won't work.  There was no space for anything in that room but a washer, dryer and kennel.  Totally nonfunctional.  That's when it occurred to me that I could make a "built-in" kennel and give myself a shelf too.

So here's my little chicken scratch I gave to Hubs to explain what I was thinking ...


then this ... turned into THIS ... 


My first intention to get a few bids for the project.  Hubs and I are both really busy, and don't necessarily have a lot of free time. I new I wanted it to be basic ...  A tall countertop so Crosbie could fit underneath, subway tie, and upper cabinets.   Once we started to really map out want we wanted, Hubs was ready for the challenge.  He sure is handy to have around!!!  
So off to the hardware store we went ...

Pre-Construction:


You'll notice a different countertop above.  After pricing out the surface I originally wanted, the total came out to over $500 for our tiny space for the countertop ALONE.  I about feel over!!  It's Formica people ... WHY is it that expensive?  Sorry Home Depot, but I am not paying that outrageous price!!  I just couldn't imagine my space without it, but in the end, instead of breaking my budget, I went with a pre-cut countertop.  That baby sat in my garage for a few days and every time I passed it ... I despised it more and more.  It wasn't me, and it wouldn't be what I wanted in the end.  So we returned it.  
You wont BELIEVE where I found my new counterop for CHEAP!!

No backing out now ....  Without Subway Tile and No Tops to the Cabinets ...


Installation of the Subway Tile ...



A few days later ... here's my finished Laundry Room:


The black holder on the right side of the wall is for my central vac house.  Not sure about the benefits Central Vac or never heard of it?  Read this post here to learn about why I will NEVER build a home without it!







Curious how I got the look for under the price of my original estimate on the countertop below?  Check out everything we used to make this a workable - and FUNCTIONAL laundry room on the cheap!  I absolutely love it!!
