The only issue with creating an app like this is that you'd have to link it into a book publisher and then get very specific publishing guidelines from them to make it work. As well, you'd have to get the app to do all the cropping and photo editing too. And you'd also have to design the app with a number of different book layouts to suit everyone's different tastes. I don't think an app exists like this because, well, there's no need or demand for it. It's a very specific and most likely very small market for this. Besides, just as everyone is stating, Instagram and other photo apps takes great pics and you can then upload them to another source to be printed or published. Blurb will do up the book for you once your photos are selected. It's not a bad idea to document your children, it's just that an app or even service to do this wouldn't make very much money from it (if any at all) because of the low demand, sorry.

Nice job on this. You've clearly made a nice piece out of something that was on it's last legs. Most people would've scrapped it but, obviously, you saw the potential and value in it.

Nice and clean in terms of the style, looks much bigger than 400 sq, probably because of the pure white walls and high ceiling. I love the look though, simple is best, nice job!

Love it, great job Erin & Danny, you've really inspired me for my place :)

I recently moved into my place (building is circa 1926) and had original subway tiles for the bathroom and the shower had regular ones. Different shades of white for all the tiles, it needed to be redone for sure. I used Klenks epoxy for the tiles, two coats for the tiles, looks absolutely brilliant! Very easy to use, cheap ($35 Canadian) and it was done in a day (4 hours between coats). Just make sure the tile is cleaned first with TSP and all excess caulking removed (grout is fine to be painted over, caulking will fisheye though), scuff the tile a bit with sandpaper and paint away! It's durable, nice and glossy and absolutely transformed my bathroom from blah to wah! The only thing I can suggest is to use a ventilator, a huge fan and open the windows, Klenks is smelly and strong lol.

Another really cool thing you can do is to clean them up (if they have chipped paint or rust on them) with a high speed drill and a wire brush attachment, it really strips down the paint on them. Then, use Rustoleum Stainless Steel paint and, viola, you now have a very modern yet industrial looking rad. The Stainless Steel paint isn't cheap though ($50 Cdn.) but it does look really incredible and it goes with anything.

If you google it, you'll see the theories on it but, of course, it's only if you believe in the supernatural though. Sound hokey, I know, but I refuse to have mirrors face one another in my place and I love mirrors too. I have them all over my place, just not across from one another.

sorry, should read "worth it in the end". Anyone who's knocking the cost of this too needs to know that flagstone is expensive but you can get different grades and cuts as well for it. You don't have to spend tons of money on this project either. If you get man-made paving stones, you can do it for cheaper. Another alternative is getting pressed concrete to look like flagstone. They can make it the same slate colour and even put in lines to make it look like flagstone has been laid. Depending on the company, this may be cheaper than actual flagstone but, if not, it can be done for a reasonable price.

I'm in the process of doing my dining room a deep red (almost a blood red) and I have to say just from my own place, you need an awful lot of light to pull off this color. My place gets lots of light and as a huge window letting in light from the North and also light comes in from the adjoining living room which faces South. That being said, red is a very strong color and requires natural light to make it pop. If not, then it will create a cave effect because it will be too dark for the true color to come out. Just my two cents though, sorry.
