About Me:

A female carpenter with a knack for vintage, and re-purposing found objects. Love to take something for nothing and create a wonderful functioning piece. Gardening is a passion as well, making my outdoor an extension of my indoor living.

Favorite area of home improvement:

Kitchen is the top, and living room, bedroom follow close after.

I Painted my Back Door Mat

I saw this idea on Pinterest where someone used a new rubber mat and painted color blocks on it to mimic a more expensive designer mat and I thought "hey, my outdoor mats look terrible ...»
and need replacing so why not try this concept on my rugs. It's worth a shot because I only paid $.57 ea for the colors I chose and I had the other supplies so let's start with what I used.

  • This table was made for my grand daughter's in range from 4-10 years old. The regular child's picnic table was to small for the older girls, and the adult size was to big for the younger. My version of the in between size. They love it
  • Found this old John Deere gears at a friends pasture, to give it the decorative edge I like.
  • With the benches pushed in this table is perfect for adult gatherings for and extra table at bar-b-ques.

Child's pallet and recycled cedar fencing picnic table

I made this pallet child's picnic table from 2 pallets and recycled old cedar fencing. My daughter has 5 girls ranging from 4 to 10. With them in mind I designed them a table that would ...»
fit all the girls needs. Plus add an extra table for adults when the girls are not here. My daughter tore down her old fencing, I asked for her to bring it to me to recycle. So far I have been able to recycle a lot of it. I stained the pallet 2x4" with some deck stain that was in our garage we acquired for free. I sealed the cedar with 4 coats of clear deck sealer which was also free. The only expense was the deck screws to assemble. I made this in one afternoon, and finished the sealant in 2 days.

Mailbox From Ugly to Pretty

Our mailbox, at our summer home, in Pinetop, AZ was so ugly. My husband insisted, once the snow plow took our our regular mailbox, that we install one that could be swung to the side when ...»
we left for the winter. I tried to get Ivy to grow up the post to no avail. This summer, a couple of weeks ago, after finishing a couple of my first mosaic projects I got the idea to mosaic the ugly mailbox. It took me a week to complete it but it was so worth it! :) No longer ugly and we have met several people ,as passerbys admire it, while we are sitting on our deck. I am having so much fun with this new found craft.

A curiosity.

My brother lives in an old house in Boston and sent these pics. Anyone have any idea what they are?
