Happy Anniversary to My Handy Hubby

I’m not the only creative one around here. In honor of our 11th anniversary I thought I would highlight some of the wonderful projects my handy husband Robbie has completed around our home.

We always have a beautifully landscaped yard.

He built this shed from scratch… with no blueprint and only a little help from friends! It even has a deck and electricity. No doubt it’s built better than our own house!

The list of DIY house projects are endless. He made this beautiful arbor to go over our garage.

He installed a Jacuzzi tub for my Valentine’s Day present a few years ago. It required rerouting the water line…no problem for Robbie. He also did all the tiling on the floor and around the tub.

Every single piece of molding that was in this house when we moved in has been ripped out and replaced!

He’s added crown molding and window frames, and upgraded the baseboards and door frames throughout our home.

Including adding crown molding to our kitchen cabinets.

Here is our beautiful kitchen tile backsplash that he installed on a Saturday afternoon.

He installed these stainless steel hanging pendant lights over the bar in our kitchen, where no lights existed before.

And added this decorative molding under the bar:

He refinished the oak banister on our stairs to white and added wrought iron spindles.

And also put up wainscoting on both sides of the stair well.

He’s artistic too! When we were dating, he painted this brick with a picture of my high school that had been recently torn down.

He’s the King of Christmas decorations. Here’s a sampling of his holiday decor:

Our neighborhood used to give away a Best Dressed Holiday Home award which Robbie won 4 years in a row. They eventually stopped doing it; I suspect because no one can compete with him!

And speaking of decorating, take a look at what he does at Halloween. The fence, columns and gravestones are all handmade!

Did I mention that he can also fix anything and is an amazing cook?!?!?!

His next project is refinishing this antique china cabinet that he inherited from his grandparents. Of course with our baby due any day now, I don’t know how soon this project will be competed…. UPDATE: See the finished cabinet HERE.
