And some of my projects

Yes hanging pictures on the wall is a project for me. This wall is new cause we took out the closet that was there to make our master shower bigger. This is what I decided to put there. 

Saw this on Pinterest and wanted to make it.


And hanging, again..

I just love how this turned out. I've had this table in the basement for a couple of years. When I first finished it, I didn't like how light the top was so when I had a lot of leftover stain from our bathroom cabinets I knew I wanted to use it on this table. Thought of the checkerboard idea when I started on it. It works perfect cause our game board is now broken and in the trash.

I got some old doors from my parents. They were on the original house that my parents had when they first moved to Hansen. I love them and wanted to do a full length mirror on one of them for our master closet. I had so much fun with this project. Mixing paints, glazing, waxing.....everything I ever wanted to try on a piece of furniture. I love how it came out and saved a ton by buying a mirror at restore. The color turned out so beautiful! 

This door bought at restore. Jerek didn't want anything TOO creative, or at all. Solid piece of alder that matches our cabinets in the bathroom and our bedroom furniture. Used the same stain as the cabinets also. I love how it came out. This will be used as the door to the bathroom. Just waiting on some barn door hardware.

And this is my catch all bench. Same color as my full-length door/mirror. Really had fun glazing this with all the lines on the legs.

Phew! I think that was it for May and June! Already starting my list of projects for the fall!
