Projects

Since moving in, we have been busying doing several different projects. I love how each has turned out so far and look forward to finishing some more.


This one is my favorite!!! B got this old radio from his mother. It used to be hers, while growing up they used to sit around it and listen to it. ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?!! I wish I had a before picture so you could see how much work B did to it. It was sitting out in a bunk house for the last I don't know how many years. He was able to get rid of all the water damage and well...just LOOK AT IT!!! It is so pretty.
I redid the front flower bed. It was a circle of weeds. I didn't do anything big, but I like it.
B sanded and re-stained the front post. Before it was completely faded and looked horribly old. Now it brings out more of the color in the stone.
This table used to be in our kitchen. I had my dad chop off it's legs. I still need to redo it. I want it to be darker, but that can wait. The kids love having a table just their size. I love not worrying about them drawing on my nice kitchen table upstairs.
This chair used to be painted maroon and I don't remember what. B stripped it and stained it a few years ago. We didn't put a polyurethane coating on it and while redoing our home in Boise some stuff got on it and it needed to be redone. When we moved in I wanted to do it, so B helped me sand it again and then I stained it and put the coating on it. I LOVE IT!!!!! I love walnut stain. It may just be one of my favs.
