For my sister :)

I've been working on a few pieces for clients. Something I love doing. But I needed a bit of a break. Just when I thought I wasn't going to get one, my sister stopped by and dropped off something she wanted me to do for her. 

She picked this up from a house that was being redone. The owner was going to a nursing home. 

She thought it would make a great hall table and thought maybe I should paint it red. 

In reality it is an old organ bench. The tag from the store that originally sold it is still inside. 

I needed a break, and this was perfect. 

But I wasn't thrilled with her idea. (Sorry sis) So I suggested that maybe it might be nicer to just refinish it. 

I told her I would refinish it and if she didn't like it, I could always paint it for her. 

Soooooooo

I refinished it and sent her pics (she lives 2 hours away)

She LOVED it. 

But so did my hubby.

hmmmmm may just have to hold this one for ransom. 

After all...what are sisters for? ;)

New Laundry Basket!

I know Laundry baskets are not the most exciting thing in the world. But they are something we all have and we all need. 

I hate that they are all the same size..basically. 

And I hate that they never fit in the spaces I have. 

Sooooo

I made my own! 

A bit of trial and error, some left over wood, a screen and here it is. 

I'm loving it!! 

I hope you do too :)

 This one is custom made for the bathroom at the cottage.

 I raided the kitchen to make it look like it was in use. In reality I couldn't wait to take pictures, it now sits in my bathroom and it's half full.

I'm loving it!!

Wedding day

Good Sunday Morning! 

Normally I don't post a lot about my family. Maybe a few snippits here and there. But I have to share with you some exciting news! 

Our son was married yesterday. :) 

He married a wonderful girl who is just perfect for him. One of my other boys asked me if I thought I was "old" now that I have a daughter in law. I quickly explained my version of old. 

Old is when your grandchildren get married! 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Period :) 

Here are just a couple of pictures of our son's special day.
