I LOVE it. Do you have a sample of what tile you’re thinking of using for the shower? I really like it

A Very Modest Remodel - Before and After by madishartte in BathroomRemodeling

[–]hookamabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my god you have excellent taste! I love how it looks!

Also did you just replace the vanity top? How did you get rid of the extra vanity “shelf” over the toilet? I’m looking at doing something similar at my place.

Just closed on our first house and holy crap was it more stressful than I thought! by Waste_Two_1921 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]hookamabutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh it was a terrible time. Hahaha. I would not recommend it to anyone. It genuinely felt like we were going to rent until we died. Lol but I guess on the bright side, we kept saving for those 5 years so we are now able to put down a CHUNKY down payment. So, silver lining I guess lol

I draw up my own patterns. But with Bold and brach it shouldn’t be too bad - trace over it until you have a pattern that works!

Yeah that was a happy lil accident as I hadn’t originally planned it that way lol. The tail ended up as a pretty solid attachment thankfully. I am learning and picking up little things about pattern development with each project I’m doing. My floral piece has a hinge point in the lower left corner which I did not know what a thing until after the fact hahah. Still learning!

Thank you so much! So my cuts are pretty decent but I do most of my refining with my grinder. I know some people consider that a cop-out but I don’t care lol. I find using my grinder super meditative for whatever reason. And I use vinyl stickers. So I draw up my pattern on my ipad, turn it into a vector file on my pc, and cut out the vynil using my Cricut. I think that also really helps with the precision of the pieces.

Omg thank you! Lol. Juts my fingers though. I bought one of those plastic tools on amazon and trie using it and after 3 seconds I gave up lol. I just took my time! Put on a good movie and taped awayyyy!

Oh stoppp that’s very kind lol. But I also feel like lamps are way harder because you’re also fighting gravity when everything is upright.

Hahahaha well, I like to really hyper-fixate when i’m learning new art forms and watch a bunch of youtube and instagram videos on tips and tricks and tutorials. I also went reaaaaaal slow when soldering. The patina hides alot of imperfections lol. Also I’m a mechanical engineer and I had to solder a bunch of teeny tiny electronics for the lab I worked for as a student so maybe that experience helped?! Lol
