I’ve been wanting to get this done since last December; not sure what I was waiting for. Anyway, this will be the first time I’ve cased a window, installed a windowsill, etc. I think it went pretty well.…
Well, almost. I still need to make a shade or blind for the window, but that will have to wait a bit. No, this finishing touch is artwork. I framed up some of my small watercolors, and…
Oh, yay! I finally get to use my storage/workroom for something besides storage and packing. I've always planned for this to be where I do my picture framing, but I haven't had a need to frame anything in a long while.
I keep lots of large cardboard boxes and styrofoam on hand for when I need to ship my paintings. I decided I needed a simple shelf for containing the large cardboard.

I am finally priming and painting the laundry room after 12 years! It took about a week to prime and paint the walls and 3 doors and 5 sets of door casing. Also in that time,…
My hubby built a little patio for me this weekend! A little span where I can put my potting bench, pots, and a garden bench. I’m really glad he took this project over. It took me several…
Wow, our storage room’s outside sure got super dirty in the past 3 years. I tried scrubbing it clean, but that wasn’t working. I suppose we ought to invest in a little pressure washer. But, we don’t…
