Are these not the cutest slippers ever… I want them in every color.

My first home…

Jordy Blueprints — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:00:18 +0000

has now become a rental. I made it perfect, new paint, carpet, kitchen and new bathrooms. I spent the last four days there with my new tenants, my perfect home has had some issues come up. The dishwasher was leaking (they called me 4 days later), the basement is damp from all the rain, and I had been out of town for 2 weeks. So Monday got me off to a good start at the house and I wasn’t finished until Thursday. I also decided my cute little porch had to go, that’s the good news of the week. Minus all of my recent expenses the porch came down and I was faced with the best possible outcome… a perfect slab of cement. No building for me, just a power wash and some stain. Here are the demo photos, I’ll post some after photos in a couple of weeks after the new door, siding and roof are installed.

It’s Bold

Jordy Blueprints — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:30:34 +0000

It’s been my summer project, it’s pretty bold too. I reused an old set of dressers, found a use for our old front door and tested my limits with color.

5 Gallons later, a little Juneberry, Marigold and Verdant for good measure…

Our Master Bedroom Continues

Jordy Blueprints — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:20:23 +0000

I think I’m about done with our Master Bedroom for the time being, Brad about flipped when I rearranged it yet for the 5th time since we moved in and I’ve already painted it twice in less than a year and a half. Here’s the fresh pallet after wall paper tear down.

It’s small I know, that’s the hardest part about projects… I just want to “dig in” so I don’t always have a before picture.

Like the bench? That’s my latest Craiglists find, oh the treasures.

Before & Afters

Jordy Blueprints — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 23:25:06 +0000

Yes, I know I’ve been slacking in the posts department… what can I say?? It’s Summer! I’ve been pretty busy though so I have a handful of before and afters I will be posting over the next couple of weeks. First up was a simple fix for a patio set that had become pretty warn out from the weather.

Before

A trip to Home Depot for a couple cans of spray paint and some remnants from JoAnn Fabrics, viola I’ve got a new table and chairs.

After

Rental “Fun”

Jordy Blueprints — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 21:11:29 +0000

My sister and I own a couple of rental properties together, it’s always a joy. Wednesday night brought on the challenge of moving in/out a fridge through a tiny stairway with a sharp corner. We’ve got lots of maintenance with this one and more than one tenant…

Lot’s of thanks to our husbands and friends.

St. Paul Farmers Market

Jordy Blueprints — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 18:37:50 +0000

A relaxing Sunday morning… what’s that? We made our first trip to the St. Paul Farmers Market today and I’m sure it won’t be our last. Diesel woke me up before 6, our dear friend was out on the pond…

Soon we headed for a quick drive to be greeted with fresh fruits, veggies, flowers and even some Bison.

Brad’s new favorite recipe for potatoes: Crusted Red Papper … made right on the grill.

I’m off on Tuesday to Atlanta for Americas Mart, and will hopefully have some posts form there…

Hope you had a wonderful Independence Day!

What do “I Do”?

Jordy Blueprints — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 13:57:34 +0000

What do “I Do” with all my wedding photos you may ask, if you are like me you’ve got several but ordering a copy of your top 20-25 may not be in your budget. Maybe you order just one, but how do you capture the whole day in just one photo? It’s simple actually, send me your favorite photos and we can work together to create a custom piece.
