The Accent Piece
It’s been awhile since I have re-finished a piece of furniture and it feels oh so good to get back into it. I got this piece a looong time ago. And by long time ago I mean its-been-a-year-because-I-couldn’t-decide-what-to-do-with-it-and-its-been-staring-at-me-ever-since. Consider ‘Project: Clean Out the Garage’ in full swing.

The other day, Jon spotted an old cedar-planked dog house that someone was throwing away. So he loaded it up and came home with it. Consider my husband officially on the I-aint-ashamed-of-picking-up-other-people’s-trash train. Welcome, love…and stay awhile!

A couple weeks ago I decided to tackle the problem of our bedside tables in our bedroom. They didn’t match the rest of the room, they weren’t functional, they didn’t have drawers…just no good all around. So I set out to find some functional and affordable bedside tables for our bedroom. Oh, and they had to look great on top of all that. Sure, …
We’re at it again. This time to work on a Christmas present for Annabanana’s folks. Hey, better late than never, right? She wanted to make them a doormat that I posted about here. Plus one for herself. We made a few little changes like changing the width to 32″ and used 11 boards (instead of 23″ …
