  • I fell in love with this craft room island by Sandra, http://www.sawdustandpaperscraps.com/ and was delighted to see the blog post titled: "Inexpensive, Easy, Home-made Countertop." It doesn't get better than that! Here's what Sandra said  when I emailed her about this project:
"You don't have to have a lot of experience with building or woodworking to create a similar space.  Stock cabinets from a home improvement store - or thrift store finds could be grouped together to create an island.  I built my island countertop out of MD edged with inexpensive pine.  No power tools necessary for that project."   You can see the full project here:

I finished painting my kitchen countertops this weekend.

Total project was about $60.00. ($17.00 for the Primer, $20.00 for the Countertop Coating and $20.00 for the Polycrylic). I already owned the paint, but that was about $15.00 worth. I know they sell kits for this kindof thing (made by Gianni or Rustoleum), but I wanted to go with a different paint scheme. I got the original idea from a blog (creative Kristi's) Total process took about 3 days

Remodeling: Does anyone like IKEA kitchens?

We helped our homeowner remodel his kitchen with IKEA cabinets in order to give them a mid century modern feel to their mid century ranch home. They loved it. What do you think?

  • I had just repainted my bathroom and a friend suggested I look at this site to revamp my large bathroom mirror. This is my before picture.
  • This is my completed picture, without stain. $163.00 in all and so far about 6 hours with myself and my brother, both novices in carpentry. 3

  • A secret garden, design borrowed from nature; a fern frond. 2
  • Entering the secret garden as the fern frond becomes visible. 3

A secret garden that we designed and installed for a client.

The guest enters the secrete garden along the stem, and the fern frond is the focal point of the small space. A mixture of evergreen and deciduous ferns were planted around the garden.
