One of the many little things that were bugging me was that the cords from the bedside table lamps were just hanging out there, flapping in the wind for everyone to see.. That outlet is really really in the middle of the wall, right in plain sight.

For now, at least!We always have big plans/dreams for the future, but some of these smaller projects that we do really help us to enjoy our home so much even when we don’t have the time or the budget to do the bigger renovations right away..

This particular project is kind of weirdly specific, but it came about because of the fact that we decided to re-do the trim at the tops of our cabinets to give the whole room a more open and updated feel.So that left this area over the range hood, that had previously been covered up, exposed.We looked at our options and we discovered that the maker of our range hood does sell just the plain stainless steel tube to cover the vent pipe if yours is exposed, but that tube is really kind of expensive for something so plain and unexciting.

And it would still probably end up being a lot of work because we’d still probably need to to cut it down to fit our weird wonky space exactly.So we thought we could DIY something better!

So here’s the area that we’re working with here:.

So as you can see, we have a vent pipe and it needed covering.It’s the size of our whole garage!

Chris decided he would just get the biggest one just because “Why not?” and that way if we decided to demo the bathroom too that week, we’d have more than enough room.. There’s no way a family of 3.5 could fill that thing in a week even if they demo’d 7 bathrooms right?.My friends, we filled it.

To the gills.. I’m hugely embarrassed, don’t you worry..But also, so so relieved..
