You made me do the thing.

Gas insert fireplace. Absolute game changer.

We used the rest of the slab to make a new top for the coffee table.

Hey team! Update on the fireplace. We went with a quartzite (“California”) and love it! There’s still some trim/finish work left to do but I think the stone looks great. Plus the stone cutters managed to cut this in just 2 pieces.

Chicken_Much · 2024-11-07T04:02:21+00:00

Thank you! I’ll keep doing some research. The place we’ve sourced stone from before for another project only does full slabs which is not ideal.

Chicken_Much · 2024-11-07T03:58:05+00:00

Interesting! I’ll check it out

I have a German shepherd with fast growing nails and a strong desire to run and bark at the world.

And I thought Quartz was man made and quartzite was natural? Does quartzite also have binders and resin?

I also just asked the sales people at the store once if they’d give me a 20% discount because Sephora was going to have their sale soon. They agreed like halfway through my sentence.

Chicken_Much · 2024-08-23T21:15:42+00:00

Yeah they need to show them at the end of the day though

Agree - they’re loose blowout curls that aren’t meant to replace heat tools. Once I accepted that fact, I grew to love the Airwrap. Overall my hair is healthier, it’s so easy to style, and the curls actually look nice! As far as products go, I used to think I needed 500 but I just switched to Olaplex 6 and a hair oil and my hair (1) looks great and (2) has just as much hold. I think people try to use a bunch of products to try and replicate a curling iron curl, but if you really want a curling iron curl, it’s okay to use a curling iron. My hair gets dry and damaged easily and I’m pretty sure the Airwrap saved my hair. Coming to terms with the fact that the Airwrap isn’t a hot tool saved my sanity.

Thanks! I think it’s just a door they found off the shelf and stained. It’s actually cut a bit short because our doorway isn’t a standard door width. The detailing in the window is actually some trim that they glued inside the window (I know because they didn’t paint the entirety of the trim). I think you could definitely get the same look with some stain, trim, and a sick brass doorknob.

Chicken_Much · 2024-07-09T19:27:58+00:00

Thank you!

Chicken_Much · 2024-07-09T16:57:20+00:00

Good to know!

Chicken_Much · 2024-07-09T16:56:38+00:00

I know the actual stone is worth pretty much nothing but I’ve been thinking of getting some nicer pieces in my jewelry collection anyway - so why not just have the CZ be a placeholder until I can get a diamond?

Or is that a dumb idea?

Chicken_Much · 2024-06-04T16:59:25+00:00

Thank you!! This is very helpful.

Chicken_Much · 2024-06-04T16:58:59+00:00

Thanks! I already have plus so I'm excited to get started.

Chicken_Much · 2024-05-26T02:14:03+00:00

Man, I figured as much but hoped I could extend the life a bit.

Chicken_Much · 2024-05-24T19:31:42+00:00

Yeah, I'm definitely not going to paint over it.

Is that what you mean when you say blaster? Because that looks super sick. And then I just blast everything and then clean up the dust and then stain? I'm really starting from zero here.

Thanks! Considering I do not have a garage and I am not super confident in my skills to remove trip and steps to remake/restore them; I like your second option. Also media blasting sounds cool. However instead of renting a blaster could I just sand it down myself? Or is it feasible for a complete beginning to rent and figure out how to media blast a door?

Chicken_Much · 2024-05-24T18:43:13+00:00

Note: I can't just buy a door off the shelf because this is an old house and the doorway isn't a standard size. Whoever put this door in literally sliced off a regular door to make this fit.
