#ad We did our best to buy the highest value & best in class appliances for our kitchen vs. a package deal with a single manufacturer. It’s paying off big time with our ASKO dishwasher, this thing is NICE! #kitchenremodel #dishwasher #theforgehouse #ApplianceReview #ouroldhouse #kitchendesign #kitchenhack #kitchendesign #kitchengadgets #asko #stonehouse #oldhouse #interiordesign #capcut
Hinge Soup: Tide Pod in a Crock Pot for 6 hours, then scrub. 8 hr in coffee etch. Doesnt matter the brand. Feel defeated. Question decisions. Take a break. Heat in toaster oven 400 degrees. Rub with wax 2 more hours at 400 degrees to burn on wax. Reinstall with new screws. After you tell me what screws you buy because I need them. #theforgehouse #theforge #ouroldhouse #moneypit #hardware #oldhouse #restoration #renovation #pa #pennsylvania #lancaster #beforeandafter #reducereuserecycle

This is our first sneak peek of our finished closet, more to come! You don’t realize how many hangers you actually use, we needed something like 300 total. Buying anything from AliExpress is cheaper than most other retailers, this won’t be our last order! We have a link in our bio to the cedar hangers if interested! #theforgehouse #ouroldhouse #closet #closettour #closetmakeover #aliexpressfinds #allonaliexpress #oldhouse #budget #renovation #aliexpresspartner #remodel #DIY #CapCut @AliExpress@AliExpress US
I think the boys love the new addition to the playroom so far! What other shapes should we try? #Hometour #goveeropelights #DIY #renovation #beforeandafter #playroom #CapCut
Key takeaways: not buying something and then getting it redesigned isnt stealing. (Even if you say it is as loud as you can possibly type) and every custom closet company we got a quote from sent free designs- they make money when they sell cabinets, not by selling designs. Wed have happily bought from them if it had been a good value, product, or it encompassed all the things we wanted in the room. Anyways- how bout these countertops #theforgehouse #ouroldhouse #oldhouse #cabinets #customcloset #closettour #closetdesign #rtacabinets #rta #pa #DIY #renovation #beforeandafter #remodel
It's a bad idea to have natural stone walls in a shower/bathroom. They cant be sealed without degrading the mortar, and its a recipe for mildew if they arent sealed. So...intro Wetwall! Yes, we shared in our bio link. #wetwall #wilsonart #theforgehouse #bathroommakeover #bathroomremodel #bathroomdecor #DIY #remodel #renovation #oldhouse
Key takeaway: spend money on stuff you cant do yourself. Its impossible (for me) to actually DIY an entire project like this, but saving money here and there is what goves room to splurge on the things I cant make. Like appliances. #theforgehouse #ouroldhouse #tippingrail #hardware #oldhouse #kitchen #kitchenmakeover #KitchenHacks #pantry #DIY #renovation #remodel #beforeandafter #pa

This was really the only choice in paint color. All we need now is a painting of a sailing ship lost at sea, a jar of pickled eyeballs, and a globe which is also a mini bar.

Story time on the bolt locks: Lauren wanted copper ones go match the knobs. No one makes them bc thats silly. So I emailed the owner of Charleston Hardware and he was like “ok” and then took brass bolts, had them copper plated, and then aged them so that theyll match the knobs. Gotta love good service. #theforgehouse #ouroldhouse #theforge #closetmakeover #hardwar le #doorknob #antique #antiquehardware #restoration #renovation #agedbrass #pa #DIY #homedecor
So our "out the door" quotes from CLOSETS CLOSETS CLOSETS CLOSETS was $18k or so, we were in the ballpark of $12k total. I think we also ended up with wayyy nicer finishes, and have the added benefit of sming every time we look at a custom piece in the room. This was a big renovation expense, but is something weve been saving budget for since we started. It's not cheap, but is it a good value? #theforgehouse #remodel #renovation #closet #customcloset #copperhardware #charlestonhardware #copper #cabinethardware #rta #closetmakeover #closettour #pa #oldhouse #stonehouse
You heard it here first. Closet doors that arent cut in half are out, cremone bolts are IN. I think theyre normally on french doors in fancy houses, but why not medicine cabinets? The hardware is one of my favorite parts of our renovation. This old house is coming back to life, one closet at a time. #powderroom #bathroommakeover #theforgehouse #ouroldhouse #remodel #renovation #restoration #cremonebolts #antiquehardware #oldhousenewhome #stonehouserevival #pennsylvania #DIY
