Hey y’all!I hope everyone has stayed safe during the pandemic. It appears as though LeAnn and I had it back in March. (which is cool because I had FOMO on this historic event) My doctor at the VA monitored our symptoms by phone, but it was only a few days of fever, body aches, loss… Continue reading All Cooped Up
Hey y'all! Thanks for stopping by! You may recall that our daughter Rachel, her husband Jose' and baby Mariana (our Granddaughter, YAY!) moved in with us last year. We had an extra room with an adjoining bathroom that would work out pretty good for them. While the bedroom didn't need a ton of work, the… Continue reading New Kids on the POT
(In our last post on installing our new flooring, you may remember the corner cabinet that I told you to forget about until I posted how I made it. Well, this is it). We've always loved the built-in corner cabinets we see in older houses, and we knew one would be perfect in the corner… Continue reading Gotcha Cornered ~or~ Papered Plates
Hey Y'all, Last time, I left you hanging about our new floors, but first I'll fill you in on a couple of other projects that went on before we put them down. Mom had somewhere between 3,500 and 4,500 books in the house and most of them were in the hall by the dining room.… Continue reading Getting Down On All Floors
Hey y'all! Things have been kinda crazy lately, right? Sometimes I swear, if I hear, "We're all in this together" one more time, I'm gonna scream! Seriously though, I hope you and yours are well. LeAnn and I have had a bout of something, but we're better and LeAnn is starting to smell and taste… Continue reading Our Kitchen and Dining Remodel
This past July we decided to take a little road trip, when it was over, we had driven over 2,800 miles worth of adventures across Texas and New Mexico!!!! Our first destination was Big Bend National Park in Southwest Texas, but we took a little detour through Waco to have breakfast at the Silos Baking… Continue reading From Fixer Upper to Dr Pepper: Road Trip!!!
Rarely are our projects completed without a hitch, but our deliveries have always gone smoothly. Well, up until this time, when our client's Christmas was left hanging in the balance... This Summer we picked up an old gun cabinet from one of our favorite clients. It had belonged to her husband's Grandfather. It had been… Continue reading You’re Gettin’ Nothin’ For Christmas
(Please note: We haven't been paid, reimbursed, gifted products, or otherwise influenced in this review. Our opinions are our own. Thank you!!!) We'd been making furniture, way back when, and at some point, LeAnn wanted to try painting some furniture we'd found. Having quit my regular job due to my illness, we were on a… Continue reading Our First Time Using Annie Sloan
A new client sent us some photos of a very old church wine cabinet with the interest of having it restored. We absolutely loved the piece and immediately agreed to take it on. I knew it needed some repair before it could be refinished and was looking forward to getting into the shop. Arriving in… Continue reading Reinventing The Abbott
This Summer we wanted to adventure somewhere new to us, and we decided on Memphis, Tennessee. LeAnn had been there when she was a kid, but I'd never been to Tennessee. (I've been trying to add more states to my visited list) It was only a 5 1/2 hour drive away, so it would be… Continue reading Walking in Memphis
