I found some really fun fabric and took up the challenge of making lined curtains. Thank goodness for Google! After a little research online, I figured out my own method and created these for our kitchen door.
I love the woodsy theme. They fit right in around here.
Our friend Jeanie, who visited us last summer, sent us some really cute "thank you" gifts, one of which is a moose bell. I had been wanting to hang a bell outside to call Bruce in from wherever he's working on the property. How did she know?
We hung it right across from the front door, just to see if anyone uses it for a doorbell. It's really LOUD.
Our friend Gary made some more furniture for us using the Port Orford cedar from our Oregon property.
We now have a nice table for our loveseat glider...
and two rockers with a table.
This is our new favorite place to rest, wake up, chill out, or just "be".
Something we both really wanted from the time we moved in was a bench for the back door. The older we get, the more interesting it is to put shoes or boots on while balancing on one foot or bending waaaayyyy over.
Bruce built this bench completely out of "scrap" wood we had left over from other projects.
He added wood siding onto the wall behind the bench to create a cozy nook. What is he saying?
"I built this!"
Something else that has been on Bruce's "honey do" list is adding much-needed shelves in both bathrooms. Pedestal sinks are pretty but there's no place to put anything.
Just in time for our new Waterpik Flosser! By the way, if you don't already have one, buy one now. Seriously.
For our future visitors, you now have a shelf in the guest bathroom. No more balancing blowdryers on the towel bar.
As spring unfolds, we turn our attention from indoor improvements to outdoor projects. Stay tuned for "The Garden of Weedin' Phase II"!
