Repainting an Old Dresser
06-30-2012
We’re knocking out some projects around the home in order to prepare for the arrival of Joseph “Tucker”. One of the things I’ve been excited about for a while now is to paint his dresser a really fun/bright color. We we’re going back and forth from yellow to orange but when Ellie picked up the fabric below for the crib…

I gave you a sneak peek at a massive table that I built for some friends of ours and now I’d like to show-off the finished product set-up in the room. This is definitely a “Thanksgiving meal” type of table because there is a ton of room in the middle of the table to lay out an entire spread of…

So….this is potentially a lame post but I thought I’d put it out there in case it helps other’s in a similar situation.

I gave you a sneak peek at a table with 4 matching benches that I was working on with a friend of mine….and today I’m showing off the finished product.

T is for Tucker
06-16-2012
Joseph “Tucker” is on his way and we’re starting to piece together his nursery….slowly but surely. One of the things that Ellie wanted was a 3 dimensional metal letter to hang on the wall.

One of my good friends immediately took me up on the offer and found someone who wanted a 4′x4′ table with 4 benches to go…
