Tile Is Done

does anyone really care? i finished the floor today. i like the grout color, it brings out the color in the cabinets. will this solve world hunger? no, totally not.

Show In A Box Hackathon

Click To Play

this happened back in september and i realized i never posted any of it. a whole bunch of us got together, several people flew out, to spend the weekend hacking wordpress into a kick ass videoblogging platform. we're all busy folks, but we're still hacking away, trying to make it a really creative and slick platform for creators to showcase their work. make wordpress more than a text blog with video thrown on it. i love these people!

First Tile EVER!

Click To Play

today, we make more messes with floors. this time it's the kitchen. pulled up the old vinyl covering and replaced it with ceramic tile. this is the first time we'ved ever done this. it's a learning experience for sure. if it weren't navlopomo, i wouldnt have taped or edited this. i'm exhausted!!! thanks navlopomo for making me do this..it's a cool document to have. i think within the week, this will be done. sweet.

Soundproofing

Click To Play

these apartments have no insulation at all. you pull up the floor and there is about a foot gap of space before the other person's ceiling begins. this means our neighbor can hear every fucking movement you make. and he really don't like it. so we are pulling the floor up to start soundproofing. always something to learn around here.

funny, there is this meme started by rupert to show your workspace. i totally did this unintentionally too. was looking for clips i had never posted and here it is, my desk and the view from my desk and what i do when i leave my desk for a break. weird!

Process: The Bathroom

Click To Play

when jay and i moved into the eco-village apartment, we painted the entire thing. my favorite room is the bathroom. i feel like the bathroom can be a little more experimental when it comes to color than any other room. it's small, it has a bunch of fixtures, you can get bold and not ruin a whole room. it also has a lot of light, so the dark walls don't make it feel like a cave. i had fun with this one. been meaning to post this for 6 months now!

Process: The Kitchen

fresh direct .mp4

some of you know that i now live in a place that is accepting of power tools and working spaces, the san mateo eco-village. i have a little space out on our landing that i can do all this work. it's great! so this is our kitchen that i'm almost done refinishing. stripped the paint off all the cabinet faces and hardware, painted the molding. it's looking pretty darn fresh. i love that i finally have an outlet that i can make things and get my hands dirty again.

i started a blog just to document all my refinishing projects: RyanneRefinishes.blogpsot.com
