    A Seven Foot Buffet Table for the Far from Perfect Patio

    A Seven Foot Buffet Table for the Far from Perfect Patio

    We bought a stainless steel tool bench table top that was dented because it was dropped in shipping for $45.00 a year ago. The top is a stainless steel sheet covering workbench hardboard and weighs 83 lbs. I didn’t know exactly what we were going to do with the tool bench top but I convinced […]

    Hairpin Leg Cedar Desk and Shelves

    Hairpin Leg Cedar Desk and Shelves

    Have you ever held onto something for a long time time just waiting for the right time to use it? I do, probably too often, but this time I am so glad that I waited. In 2014 my dad gave us a load of cut cedar. I thought at the time I would never use […]

    Next Steps on the Deck

    Next Steps on the Deck

    Now that the deck and the porch are connected, I consider them one thing. Not so with Mr. Math. He still considers them separate so I will give you the deck only run down on what we still need to do to get it finished. The porch is on the horizon. First we need to […]

    1940’s Chest of Drawers

    1940’s Chest of Drawers

    Waaay back on December 30th Mr. Math and I headed off to collect a chest of drawers, vanity, and mirror. Somehow along the way I also picked up a lime green claw foot tub but that is a story for another day. The furniture belonged to my friend’s grandparents and had been in a garage […]

    We have a small laundry room right off the mudroom and kitchen that has no door to close it off. There are two openings to the laundry room, two windows, a full sized sink and cabinets under and over the cabinets, a full sized top load washer and dryer, and upright freezer in the teeny […]

    Finds From Our Week in the Woods

    We just spent a week at the Redneck Retreat. The weather was beautiful and we spent the week getting some projects done and spring cleaning. It is the perfect place to walk and enjoy nature. There are trails, creeks, a pond, flowers, and animals a plenty. While on one of my walks I discovered an […]
