nearly done! this was the first big project of our new house: fixing up our future bedroom. entire ceiling and walls were knockdown / popcorn texture that we plastered over and smoothed out (weeks of work), nasty carpet pulled up to reveal beaten floor which my wife sanded down (learning on the go). years and years of gross buildup scraped away, bit by bit. it's starting to look like a proper room now...

Types of Flooring as People
Laminate- cleanliness is next to godliness, always wearing some crisp new accessory, the spellcheck friend, keeps their toenails nice and short so they don't click together, will have handwipes and tissues in their bag, not a germaphobe but likes to be helpful and tidy, would never sneak out of the house without leaving a detailed itinerary for their parents, has a secret penchant for eating pencil erasers, and will say they are always there for you and yet put their phone on silent the minute they are sleepy.
Hardwood- always up for adventure, rough and tumble, rare to find in just any house, holds many secrets and never shares yours, loves to find a good pair of boots, would die to meet Indiana Jones IRL and does not acknowledge the reality that characters are fictional, finds the best in the simplest things, always resourceful, will hound you if they sense something is wrong, and very superstitious. (knock on wood!)
Tile- cold when you first meet them, brisk attitude, likes people with gray eyes, can usually be found reading in the bathroom at any given social gathering, is calculating your every move, will shatter you if you drop too much on them, hard to put down and even harder to replace once you've lost them, some people may say it's hard to be their friend but it's only because they expect the same loyalty and energy they would give someone who they truly love and admire, wears wire rimmed glasses or loves a good rainy day- maybe both.
Vinyl- crazy about records (obviously), loves vintage cameras and little pocketwatches, a little eccentric around the edges but really down to earth at heart, would drop it all to go thrifting, always has a devious shopping related sparkle in their eye, jumps to help someone in case they may be gifted with an iced coffee, has never been to a trampoline park bc they think that would be weird, very much hopes people think they are at least a little cool, wants to be THAT mysterious stranger you can never forget about, and hates when people underestimate the value of a good public library because oh boy, they are infatuated with the world.
Carpet- cozy, sleepy, unattainably cute, high maintenance, cries at the drop of a hat- will cry over spilled milk!- listens to a lot of lo-fi playlists and Alec Benjamin/Cavetown-eque music, has a lot of buddies but few who understand how much they truly are happier in a comfortable bed or sofa by the gentle sunlight where they can stretch out like a cat and sleep for eons, will be the first to fall in love with a stranger because they can't help but imagine a future with them, and has a signature sweater that they wear so they will be comfy always.
Concrete- works hard, impossible to crumble, will always have your back, versatile personality, easy to make up with after a fight, has some of the strongest family ties you'll ever see, always returns to their roots, if you make an impact on their lives they will leave one on you in a bigger way, probably always rocking out to a song they've created in their heads, dyed and heavy hair, stomps like a madman but is overall just a solid person, once they build their walls against you, good luck ever hurting them again.
Cork- sometimes an afterthought to their friends, super reliable though, always up for the worst of challenges, not afraid to face the truth, adaptable, a go getter, full of cheer and appetite for what others may not truly appreciate, very gets along very well with Concrete, is afraid of missing the moment and growing up too fast, dreams of a space of their own, naturally attracts interesting stories, has a unique and cheeky catchphrase, and never fails to leave the door open in silent hopes they will catch a big and cool bug.
Tag yourself!!

At noon yesterday I got tired of sitting on the couch (probably that was like the oven timer in my brain telling me "oop! you're done being sick now!") so I decided to remodel my closet a little bit.
I was done with not being able to reach any of the clothes on the back of the bar, or access the floor space and top shelf in the recess. Solution: reorient the bar so it only occupies the recess.
I pulled everything out, removed the bar and shelf (really just some unpainted boards-- I kind of love finishing other people's slapdash DIY) and painted the closet a nice clean white that was leftover from my kitchen. The satin finish should reflect a little extra light in there. Then while the paint was drying, I sorted my clothes, removed what I don't wear, and took a quick (not) trip to the city. Dropped off the clothes at the thrift store, couldn't help shopping a bit and got 5 new cookbooks and some pillowcases and curtains, and went to the ReStore to get some hardware for the closet.
Back home, I cut a new wooden hanger bar, installed the new brass brackets for it, put the shelf back in and put my clothes away. I changed the ancient yellowy lightbulb to a bright LED (finally a use for that glaring white light!) and also installed some brass hooks (salvaged from a local building before it was torn down) for my ties and belts. And found a place for my guitar where I might actually play it sometimes!
I did lose about half the hanging space from this change, but I knew that going in. I consider it a good trade for making the closet feel bigger and much more accessible, and it'll force me to be choosier about the clothing I buy.

I have these ugly fluorescent relics in the bathroom that I need to replace, but the placement is so weird and the ceiling is sloped.
What should I replace these with?
[disclaimer: ignore the plastic I was doing stuff, also yes I'm definitely going to replace the over sink fixture but that one is easier]

1. Cage Edison fixtures? might be kind of weird to just have 3 in a row like that?
2. Boob lights! I'm kidding I'm not doing that.
3. Recessed lighting? This would be best but takes a lot of work (have to make a bigger hole in the ceiling and I don't know wtf is up there this place is...an adventure)
4. Really some sort of flush led thing would be the most practical but. just no.
5. Got any bright (hehe) ideas?

No, falling in love with you was never a choice for me, but staying in love with you even when I knew you didn't was my choice, a choice that I could never avoid.

Figure I should post this here as well. Had a house fire last year and had to get my den/Transformers collection room completely remodeled. Decided to make it look like a room on the Autobot Ark from G1. It even has a sliding door!!! (That is still being worked on so its still kinda ugly rn)
The walls still need some panel greebling, but I think its come along really well!!! I hope you like it!!!

Hello, I'm M.
At the time i set up this blog, I'm a 26 year old Engineer for a manufacturing company based in the UK.
Back in 2021, after a particularly shitty week, I managed to win a house deposits worth of tax free cash in a random draw. Without it, i wouldnt have Sanctuary, the nickname i gave my new home when i eventually found it, and for that I am eternally grateful and also acutely aware of my luck.
However, the time period I won the money in turned out to be the start of a Cost Of Living Crisis in the UK, which effectively priced me out the range of houses i was interested in within a week of winning the deposit.
After 2 additional years of saving, effectively doubling what i had, i stumbled upon Sanctuary. In a fortunate twist of events, the house belonged to a member of staff at my workplace, except they worked in a completely different department. He was looking to retire ASAP, and after some discussion he agreed to sell me Sanctuary at asking price and include any/all furniture I needed (acutely aware of my luck here too). On August 18 2023, after 2.5 years of searching and saving, i got the keys to Sanctuary, almost fully furnished and ready for me to exist in. Now, almost 7 months in, I'm starting the blog to document upgrades and renovations I've had to carry out.
Pictures will follow when I can make sure they're all OK.
Thanks for reading!
