About Me:

I'm just a girl from Kansas, living with a man's name, and transplanted to Sweden over a decade ago. I once shook hands with Margaret Thatcher, lunged toward Sam Harris after a show before composing myself enough to get his autograph, and had an entire conversation in German with an elderly gentleman on a train through Switzerland. I don't speak German.

Favorite area of home improvement:

Everything recycled, repurposed, upcycled, and reloved! DIY design, arts and crafts.

  • Bottle 'sun' in my gazebo in the center of my veggie garden.  Zone 4, no breakage...has been buried for a couple of years.  Old grind stone in the center.

My bottle 'sun' or 'star', depending on what time of day it is...zone 4 garden, no breakage problems, buried in sand.

Recycled wine, beer, and liquor bottles:)

  • Before I came up with the simple solution - I was one of those people chipping away and cussing out loud! This way takes forever! you get slivers, its a MESS!
  • Laying the towel down.it Was a very thick towel and dripping wet when I put it on the pieces
  • one or two test runs in the morning reveals - very little muscle power at all and it was peeling right off!
  • Slicing through that crud like a hot knife through butter!

How to Strip Veneer - no fumes, no power tools, EASY!

So simple, so easy! I have been trying to tackle the messy job of chipping veneer off pieces to re finish them and what a pain in the hiney! I thought of an idea, and while I was testing ...»
the theory, I asked our lovely facebook followers their favorite method. Well, pretty much everyone said either using a wet towel and an iron ( which wrecks both the iron and towel) OR use a heat gun - (which would then have the fumes from the adhesive floating up in your face - or house and then requires use of masks and such) SO Here you go. Very easy - SOAK a towel so it is dripping wet in a mixture of half water and half vinegar. Place it on the veneer. Have a girls night out and let it soak over night. Make sure it is SOAKING wet. I even went back later and used a water bottle and just poured it right onto the towel to make sure it was soaked! Come back in the morning and use a putty knife or chisel and it will peel up like butter! #StrippingVeneer
