A Salon Makeover :)

When we moved to Pittsburgh I had 2 requirements when looking for a home....off street parking and a decent basement!! Coming from Utah I would have thought that would be no big deal but Pittsburgh is not Utah :) It is very common to walk into a nice house and the basement is gross! They typically don't finish basements because of the humidity here! When we found our house I was really excited because the basement was actually decent..Brett had all these plans on how to make my salon nice with tile and paint ect. but I thought it was fine and figured I'd only be doing hair every once in a while. Well since I do hair pretty much every day I decided that it would be good to do something to spruce it up a bit! I'm so lucky to be married to a handy man, this job would have cost a fortune if we paid someone to do it


The original set up

A little wall color and TILE :)

Hard at work


TADA!!!

That looks great! I could totally get my hair done there aside from the travel time, of course. :)

How cool to have right in your home like that! I love being married to a handy man too. Props to Brett for finding the time even with his hectic school schedule. Thanks for the email it was nice to hear from you. We are doing great and plugging along here in Utah trying to figure our this thing called life. :-)

It looks nice. So where did Brett learn to tile? I told Adam the goal is to have a salon room once we're going to be in a house for a while.

It looks so great! I love the tile especially, that'll be such a selling point too!

Love your header :) I've been keeping up with your blog on google reader, so I haven't actually seen your blog for a long time!

So cute! When can I come get my hair colored and cut?

P.S. Sometimes Phil and Brett have the same smile. That pic of Brett had a strange resemblance.
