<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A while back I bought a chicken waterer on sale for half price.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every thing looked ok so I just thought it was a good deal.</div>

Well it wasn't. The water flow wouldn't work properly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I put it aside for months.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well the other day I decided to repurpose it in a different way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here it is in its intended form.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took it apart and used the bottom as a planter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I filled it full of dirt and planted oregano.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also put extra holes in the tray so I wouldn't</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have standing water. </div>

I think it looks pretty good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I sat it by the coop door and can just pinch off some</div>

For the next project I used the top and punched</div>

When I posted a while back about the new top I put over the Gecko</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that was made out of old pallet boards, you can read that<a href="https://repurposed4life.blogspot.com/2016/11/a-new-top-for-gecko.html"> here</a>, I hinted that I was thinking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of repainting the Gecko.</div>

I started off by sanding the finish on the green paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just to make it a little rougher to catch the paint.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted it with two top coats of ultra white. Then I put a blue glaze over that,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I mixed up to the shade I wanted. I put two coats of the glaze</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
over the white. With each coat I wiped it down after applying to get the</div>

What do I get my sweet furry friends for Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They don't need new toys. They already have new beds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The one thing that they both love are TREATS.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided to make them some homemade treats with no preservatives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at these sweet faces below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cocoa says MERRY CHRISTMAS!</div>

But the angel said to them, "Don't be afraid, for<br />
look, I proclaim to you good news of great joy<br />
that will be for all the people: today a Savior,<br />
who is Messiah the Lord, was born for you in<br />
the city of David. This will be the sign for you:<br />
you will find a baby wrapped snugly in cloth and<br />
lying in a feeding trough. Suddenly there was a<br />
multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying:<br />
Glory to God in the highest heaven,<br />
and peace on earth to people He favors!<br />
Luke 2:10-14<br />

Well, it seems like forever since I've posted anything. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I finally finished a project that I've had on my mind for some time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've had some old pallets laying around for quite a while. So I</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
decided on a project for them. I'd do a new table top for the gecko.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept the original top and just constructed something to sit on top of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can see the results below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's go over the process of this project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are some of the pallets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They're pretty nasty looking aren't they.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found it extremely hard to remove the boards.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess because the nails had rusted into the wood.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to use a tool to saw them from the edges then</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
work them back and forth to loosen up the center nails.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I finally ended up with enough boards to do my project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkP6Y2vvlSubqGzOCXJ0kTvlu7_Vn_puzkkwzRP7j1ENHKRbi1LrReTiUUs9w0Ubwzu0pAT_bBFHePzOCoVjFv4-gll-whTLdO0VmcPEcTNoflbBFcGPgo3FQO_Ua8NXlcfgoMc5C4Tg/s1600/IMG_6606.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkP6Y2vvlSubqGzOCXJ0kTvlu7_Vn_puzkkwzRP7j1ENHKRbi1LrReTiUUs9w0Ubwzu0pAT_bBFHePzOCoVjFv4-gll-whTLdO0VmcPEcTNoflbBFcGPgo3FQO_Ua8NXlcfgoMc5C4Tg/s640/IMG_6606.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I had the boards free from the pallets </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to remove the nails from the center.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That was pretty labor intensive also but finally I had them all removed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I hand sanded over the boards to remove excess dirt.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finally have a wheelbarrow full.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Time to go down to the shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I had to run them on the jointer to get an even edge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Didn't the wood turn out pretty.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a nail gun to secure the planks to a piece of plywood</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cut to the dimensions that I wanted for the table top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can notice I decided to make it a little bigger then the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
original top.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then laid out the boards to try to get an idea of how I wanted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the boards to look. I then took everything down to the shop and attached</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
them with a nail gun. Fitting them together was quite a project. I had to run </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some on the jointer to have them fit together properly and all of them were cut with the chop saw</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to desired length. Then it was sanded with a belt sander to smooth everything out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's not perfect but I think it turned out pretty good.</div>

Well, once again the fall season has almost arrived. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fall is my favorite season but at the same time I'm sad summer is going.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seems to be much more freedom in summer. But moving on, that means</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's time to REDECORATE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even though I put out quite a lot of decorations for fall I just wanted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to show you a few of my favorites. Hope you enjoy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first is my big ole oak leaf. I love the brilliant color</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the old wood for the frame.</div>

This next one is one of my favorites. It's really big and I got it at a </div>

thrift store for $3.00. There's a lot of stuff in there for three dollars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm sure some will call it tacky, but I call it beautiful:)</div>

Next up is my collection of orange pumpkins that I bought from Hobby Lobby</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
many years ago. The pheasants that are on my mantel were made by my dad</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
back in the 1960's. It's amazing they haven't been broken in all these years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are a treasure. My dads now 93.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well after I moved this comfortable couch onto my open porch in the back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I wanted to paint it white. But with the busy summer I've had and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the extremely hot, hot temperatures we've had it took me a while to get it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
marked off my list. But finally I got her done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what she looked like before. Wood color was ok but I'd lived </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the wood tone for over 35 years and wanted a change.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello everyone. Well I decided on another project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a while so I was itching to get started.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to re-do my back entry with some more shiplap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once again I didn't use real shiplap, I used wood planks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I got at Home Depot for $5.00 an 8ft. board. Great deal!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a look at the finished room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Coming up a few before, during and after shots.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lets get started.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Many, many years ago I painted the back entry with an outdoor feel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted a faux stone wall, painted lattice and ivy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
around the mirror and along the ceiling.</div>

The wood panel you see hides the old water lines for a washing machine hook up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we moved in the washer and dryer were in the back entry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It could get really crowded in there. So after a few years we moved them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
down to the basement. Now after thirty years we have moved them back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
upstairs into my old dressing room area. It's so nice not having to lug</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
laundry up and down stairs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now this area as you can see is used for hanging coats. </div>

I decided not to cover around the mirror.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One reason it would involve very tedious cuts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the other reason I kinda like having a little outdoor feel around the mirror.</div>

Over thirty years ago my husband and I bought our first couch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the time it was covered in brown and peach plaid.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What were we thinking!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then when we moved into our next house we had it covered</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in this blue fabric. It's been that way for thirty years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's lived in many different places. First was our great room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then in our basement for many years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then it was moved onto our glassed in back porch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next it was moved into the log cabin I redid for my dad last year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ever since we had our open porch built I have wanted a couch out there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Outdoor couches are expensive. So I started thinking about other alternatives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It finally occurred to me that I had the very thing up at the cabin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I became an indian giver and moved it back down to my house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The move itself would have been a funny video.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This thing is solid oak and very very heavy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So an old man, (my dad), an old lady(me) and my daughter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
tackled this thing with an old thirty something truck.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well we got it moved and I couldn't be happier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a look see at it in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I do have plans to change up the couch a little.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I plan on painting the frame white at some point. (this summer)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And maybe in a few years recovering the cushions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love the color blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I love blue wine bottles. And the wine:)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't want to throw these beautiful bottles in the recycle,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I decided to use them in different ways.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First up (and my favorite)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is to make some yard art.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put in different size stakes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
made out of copper piping or rebar.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then just insert the bottle on the pipe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can make this collection as big as you like if you have the room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Behold the Egg Holder :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least that's what I'm calling it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure it had a proper name back at the beginning of the 19th century.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first saw this on another blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Polished Pebble.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She did a post on old kitchens such as the one on Downton Abbey.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved that show, anyway, in one of the pictures I could</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
see an egg holder on one of those big beautiful farm tables.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was such a great kitchen on that show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I thought I'd make myself one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I only have 2 hens laying at the moment, so I don't really</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
get enough eggs to use a big egg basket like I did before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't refrigerate my eggs so I thought this was a great alternative.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marked out the spots for my holes,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then went down to my dads' shop and used his drill press.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That is a great piece of machinery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Makes drilling holes so much easier than a hand drill.</div>

For the legs I wanted to use some old wooden spools.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The biggest problem with that was finding them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've had them so long it was a real search to locate them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I haven't seen thread on wooden spools in ages.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They only use plastic now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's my Peaceful Peacock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's made of pine cones and a few other decorative items.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made him for my center piece for a fund raiser that my</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
church was doing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's called Festival of Tables.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You're in charge of deciding on a theme and decorating a table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You provide a little take home gift for each person that has</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
purchased a ticket to sit at your table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They in turn receive a delicious meal and some form of entertainment is provided</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for the group. It's quite a fun evening for everyone.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I added a light green overlay that I made out</div>

of a tree limb. It ties in with the logs the peacock is sitting on.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well a while back, we installed what I think</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
will be my last barn door.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, here it is in all its beauty!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took off the original door facing and added a wider</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and flat trim to accommodate the barn door hardware.</div>

Here the door has been mounted on the hardware.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It flows smoothly on the track.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought a door for this project. I wanted a french</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
door for many reasons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first being that I wanted the light from the window to be able to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
still come through in the bedroom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also have french doors leading into the bedroom and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
also going into the master bathroom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And one of her balls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm watching you Mr. Ball.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here she is in her crate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was in need of larger living quarters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I investigated buying the next size up for her which would</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have worked for her size perfectly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the size was a few inches too big for where her crate is located.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikVrAV3sny78kOlhukF0sM7C5vSGSJeBPyeqEBBkTKCYEg2gz-T9aRSJjUUFkEpXTffFA_Fy77GXRZsF2z2jm0geTl8LSv9BqTcONHX79vIMosOqJG6a3uFgyK06gMEYritW3v1hsY-Q/s1600/IMG_4987.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikVrAV3sny78kOlhukF0sM7C5vSGSJeBPyeqEBBkTKCYEg2gz-T9aRSJjUUFkEpXTffFA_Fy77GXRZsF2z2jm0geTl8LSv9BqTcONHX79vIMosOqJG6a3uFgyK06gMEYritW3v1hsY-Q/s640/IMG_4987.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So the only other option was to custom build her a crate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that is what I did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to rebuild it a couple of times actually.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll explain later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So lets get started. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought porch pickets for the frame because they would be sturdy enough</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
without being as big as a 2x4.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGXbJz14JPkwRtKdStAffw064KreIOv_kNbnXYtLyuSeqCBIpxgCuxTlP6UVeijECZlGB1FatbS8CInavnx_AlqCgSoYN8Ti49nEaSD1aKgEqZi3P5jKqJQg-eeNrOF6wTt7T1h-gN5Q/s1600/IMG_4983.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGXbJz14JPkwRtKdStAffw064KreIOv_kNbnXYtLyuSeqCBIpxgCuxTlP6UVeijECZlGB1FatbS8CInavnx_AlqCgSoYN8Ti49nEaSD1aKgEqZi3P5jKqJQg-eeNrOF6wTt7T1h-gN5Q/s640/IMG_4983.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I measured many times for the exact width and length </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that would fit in her space.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to make sure I could slide the barn door</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
open and close without a problem.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here's the framework of the crate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recycled the turquoise doors that I had used</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for Cocoa and Tilly's condo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After Tilly died, Cocoa always slept on the bed with us</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I didn't need the corner condo anymore.</div>
<br />

was sick in bed.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the flooring of her crate I decided to use</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some left over wood flooring we had used on</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
another house project.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I turned it upside down and attached it to the bottom of the frame.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's a look inside of the crate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know of many dogs that have hardwood flooring in their crates.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember when I said I built it a couple of times, well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when I got ready to move it into place</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the flooring protruded just enough that I couldn't get it through the door way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Words were said people)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
But she's worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She's such a pretty girl!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also used the flooring on the top.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't make it solid because I wanted her to see some light</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and have ventilation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also didn't add the top until everything fit properly in the space.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I forgot to mention that I wrapped the frame in hardware cloth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I forgot to take pictures of that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's kinda hard to see her but she's sitting up in there.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You might notice that the frame is not symmetrical anymore.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It started out that way but when I moved it into place (again)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the barn door wouldn't slide open and close properly. I had not allowed for</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the wire and screws that protruded (just a little) but enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So once again I took one side apart and cut it off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Leaving just one side lite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This fireplace has had many, many looks over the years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the latest and I hope the last makeover.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I had some left over wood planks from the bedroom wall makeover</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to re-do</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the fireplace one more time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here it is.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPZWUsDthC9ieVOOMpZb7ZNMU9jHmn2oEBEBkq4hqlxRYrHFIaGtQqIuWSRwSLwqt48UtoiipInC5yllL8XDiCe-xeDqqOwAJ7sY0JWetmLkCWUC0g1KzUOHbZJI9sRF8kMioFHhQNqw/s1600/IMG_5070.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPZWUsDthC9ieVOOMpZb7ZNMU9jHmn2oEBEBkq4hqlxRYrHFIaGtQqIuWSRwSLwqt48UtoiipInC5yllL8XDiCe-xeDqqOwAJ7sY0JWetmLkCWUC0g1KzUOHbZJI9sRF8kMioFHhQNqw/s640/IMG_5070.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Back in the 80's this was the style.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of brick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I grew tired of all that brick. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUX5uni02-gHv4jLRU72w6EcHrFBKdhMKW5JnNOWOIWc1fRBdRL1uPNVqMpfuitUQPekxhoQ2Ud1S1aryGtqBkiTcA_PRml8lMZlrhYv7PV26rHKAujacIFAusQQqM0gwhKN9aiz8htQ/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="403" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUX5uni02-gHv4jLRU72w6EcHrFBKdhMKW5JnNOWOIWc1fRBdRL1uPNVqMpfuitUQPekxhoQ2Ud1S1aryGtqBkiTcA_PRml8lMZlrhYv7PV26rHKAujacIFAusQQqM0gwhKN9aiz8htQ/s640/FullSizeRender.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I decided of a way to cover it up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We added furring strips to the brick and attached plywood.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO33lBogUHaS4rZf6C835H74FChqDZTLqOD41x_ugLRsD8pPDfwQH7Y6BPtFGyU80ZU0Jq-u22Ob6XzYQKnKgaz-8qMbmF208fsBoYynTyZMigg9fvW9rCWOcqNxuCV4l0g29RNiUVLg/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="444" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO33lBogUHaS4rZf6C835H74FChqDZTLqOD41x_ugLRsD8pPDfwQH7Y6BPtFGyU80ZU0Jq-u22Ob6XzYQKnKgaz-8qMbmF208fsBoYynTyZMigg9fvW9rCWOcqNxuCV4l0g29RNiUVLg/s640/FullSizeRender.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then painted it so it blended more into the wall.<br />
Not so brickey!<br />
To start with it was a peach color. I can't believe I painted the walls peach.<br />
But everybody did that in the 80's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then through the years it changed again.<br />
A mint green.</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is what you can make when:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have a talent for working with wood</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and you have access to a lot of wood</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and when you can't seem to throw any scrapes of wood away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These were made by my 92 year old dad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a little story of how they are made.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He takes different types of wood and glues them together</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with waterproof glue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After everything is glued together he cuts them to length</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and width. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are called blanks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
He then puts them on a lathe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for turning and shaping.<br />

He uses a chisel to cut down the wood to the size and desired shape he wants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For rolling pins that would be a french design</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or a regular one with handles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's my sweet dad in the process of making a regular rolling pin.</div>

I decided to oil the rolling pins</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with coconut oil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a food safe oil that won't go rancid.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well it seems that everyone is crazy about wood plank walls these days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I am no different. I've always liked the look. Left unpainted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they remind me of a cabin, but painted they remind me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of a farmhouse and that's the look I love. So I decided to go for it and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
plank a wall in my bedroom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the after shot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But lets look at the before story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So to get started let me tell you what I did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had been looking on pinterest at other sites that had planked a wall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some used plywood cut in strips. (more work than I wanted)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some used actually ship lap boards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then there was plain pine boards. Which I thought about using but I thought</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was too expensive and more money than I wanted to put into one wall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I came upon a blog called Stonegable that had used</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
tongue and grove beadboard planks. Only they had used the back side instead of the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
beadboard side. And the best thing was it was half the price of a standard pine board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They came from Home Depot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is the info about the wood.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course the first thing I had to do was find all the studs and mark them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I started installing. There were two boards to each run.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just staggered them long-short, then short-long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all went fairly quick considering it was a one woman job.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did have to wait until my husband could rip the top boards before I could finish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it took me a day to install. (Remember I was working alone.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With two people it would take no time at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The instructions said to nail into the tongue part of the board</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but they were so thick I decided to just nail directly into the boards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To me it seemed more stable.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next step was to spot prime the knot holes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I primed the whole wall and added two top coats of semi-gloss.</div>
<br />

This is what my stairs look like now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Read below the story of how this was accomplished.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One thing I've been getting rid of through the years</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is all the stained woodwork in my home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We built our home in the early 80's when</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
everything ( and I mean everything) was stained.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It makes everything soooo dark.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So all the windows, trim, doors and kitchen cabinets have been</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
painted over the years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Something I have never, ever regretted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I decided another thing to paint was the trim on my stairs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see below the risers, treads and side trim are all stained.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided not to paint the risers just in case someone in the future wanted them stained</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(obviously not me)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
plus since it had a runner not all the riser would be painted</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I custom cut some thin plywood to attached on each side of the runner.</div>

Hello everyone.<br />
I was recently introduced to Chairish,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you can go to their site here.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.chairish.com/collection/cocktail-and-coffee-tables">https://www.chairish.com/collection/cocktail-and-coffee-tables</a><br />
And since I love repurposed and vintage furniture,<br />
it was no surprise that I jumped at the invitation<br />
to take part in their "Coffee Table Style Challenge."</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, being the repurpose and recycle girl that I am, I just decided </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to go throughout my house and come up with some ideas using things</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I already had.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She ask me to pick a coffee table from their website to use.<br />
This is the table I chose.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrQJOn3urdu-yJ5sYYgV9ZOoiMGRnThmlsjsMiTXsYxg1nj_YwsTq2M5tPajKWMLlj111wCU5tgePoLubPeOE_NMlSYW9K7ojhc-LC9PQofXAI2-R0B-TahGgGp3ykFZ9_VruMENDfSw/s1600/f0fae3d2-ebd8-48fa-97db-af26c471e249.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrQJOn3urdu-yJ5sYYgV9ZOoiMGRnThmlsjsMiTXsYxg1nj_YwsTq2M5tPajKWMLlj111wCU5tgePoLubPeOE_NMlSYW9K7ojhc-LC9PQofXAI2-R0B-TahGgGp3ykFZ9_VruMENDfSw/s640/f0fae3d2-ebd8-48fa-97db-af26c471e249.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
I chose this table because it seems very organic and natural.<br />
I think any style of decor can blend with natural.<br />
I also liked the bottom shelf.<br />
"Storage" people!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you like the ideas that I came up with.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To start with I create a blue and white theme.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I collect a lot of blue and white items so this was easy for me.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to put things in trays or large plates.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This makes it easy to remove if necessary, such as for a food spread.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or wine! yum.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love birds,(really all animals)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and plants. So this is my little bird center piece.</div>

This is a centerpiece that I'm currently using on my own coffee table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's just a slab of wood, artificial greenery and a candle with a flicker flame</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I love that candle.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my little woodland theme.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The candle holder is just a piece of a log that I routed out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and put a battery votive in it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little fox came from a consignment store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course some greenery.<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And the last one that I have uses a big beautiful turquoise platter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got this from Crate and Barrel years ago. On sale of course.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thing that I collect is mercury glass items.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the sparkle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see on this platter I added a candleholder, a little vase with greenery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a mercury oil diffuser.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually when I style my coffee table I often times put my collection on one end</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the table. To me this makes room for magazines, books drinks and feet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's be real here, we all put our feet up on the coffee table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or is that just in my neck of the woods? :)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just imagine any of these examples on that beautiful table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I hope you liked my choices and explanations of styling a coffee table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Thanks Holly for the invitation.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And as always I'm ending my post with a scripture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope it will speak to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And one called to another:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of Hosts;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His glory fills the whole earth.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I wanted for Christmas was a barn door for my closet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a small closet and the door swings inside</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
making the area behind the door kind of useless.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I got my barn door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here it is.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was made from a recycled door that I had stored</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the basement for about 20 years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This door used to be upstairs leading down to the basement</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I had replaced it with a french door.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And you know I don't throw anything away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So my barn door was free.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here the hardware has been attached.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's pretty straight forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We ordered the hardware from Lowes.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I primed and painted the door </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we attached the hardware to it.</div>

For the hardware to open and close the door</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used something I had gotten a year ago from Hobby Lobby.</div>

I think it looks really old.</div>

I decorate our tree with ornaments as old as way back in my childhood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's plenty of ornaments that my kids made</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and now my grandchildren.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do buy one or two new ones each year.</div>

This is our moon tree. There are a few stars but</div>

the majority are moon ornaments. I buy any moon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ornaments I can find each year. And they are hard to find.</div>

My son-in-law always makes me a new moon ornament</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I "borrowed" some branches of magnolia from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a neighbor and cut some berries from my nandina bushes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then put them in my green mason jars.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's another view.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I replaced the big leather chairs I had before</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with some white ones I had in storage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can seat more around the table with these.</div>

I call it the Piano Pen.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ink pens from all different types of wood.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My dad took some of the wood from the piano</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and cut it into what they call blanks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then the pen man does his magic.</div>

This was a sweet surprise:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
But if we walk in the light,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as he is in the light,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we have fellowship</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with one another,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the blood of Jesus, his Son,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
purifies us from all sin.</div>
