Your walls are incredibly amazing. My husband and I are planning on building a house and would love to have paneling like yours with chair rail, high baseboards, etc. Would you care to let us in on how you installed the paneling?

I will give you a hint, nowadays it isn't paneling! In a lot of homes we build now you just choose the height you want the paneling, mask it off and paint the top half your color and the bottom half white. The rest of the "paneling" is just mitered mdf trimboard nailed and adhered onto the wall to form the shadowboxing and some more moulding for the chair rail. It looks great and is pretty easy to install.

Mantels are the same way. Block it out with MDF and add trimboard.

Yes, but some people actually still install rails, stiles, panels, etc. I would prefer to use actual panels rather than just stick some ogee moulding/mdf trim to the wall. It appears that threetee used actual panels, and this is the look my husband and I would like to achieve.

A quick and easy pizza peel. Peels aren't quite as easy to find in stores as stones are, so it's a handy and easy project.



Care to explain how you made this? I am looking to build my own outdoor pizza oven some day when the husband and I have a house of our own and I would love to make something like this. Pizza stones are nice and all, but a peel would be fantastic. I am in no way educated about carpentry. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Over the Christmas break I finally finished this hutch I started over the summer.


That is absolutely gorgeous. Do you sell the stuff you make? I would buy that in a heartbeat.

Helped my dad with a bathroom renovation. It took longer than we expected since the wall tiles took 5 weeks to come in, but it's about 95% finished. Here's a before and after:

Nice work! I really like the tile you chose for the shower - looks classy as hell.

Thanks!! I really had a hard time convincing my parents to go with them. They are actually floor tiles but when I saw them, I knew they would be perfect. Thankfully, my parents trust me and went with them. I think they look fantastic and yes, classy as hell.

So classy, in fact, that when I went to use the restroom at the Casino in Montreal, I saw the exact same tiles on the wall in THEIR bathroom (just a different colour). Score.
