Yesterday was quite eventful in my little world. My husband and I went on an “Operation Checklist” outing, beginning at 7:30 am. We went to Home Depot for valuable sprinkler parts, Wal-Mart for precious crafting supplies, the UPS store to mail a package, and finally, our favorite breakfast burrito take-out establishment. By the time we got home and ate, it was nearly 10 am. I still had to read the paper and do the puzzles!
Once things were completed, I set about finishing the project I began at the beginning of the quarantine. Here is the documentation that I really did accomplish one thing over the past two months!
My “free to me” dresser is pictured after we had chopped it down to this size and rebuilt the bottom. I took out a few drawers, reworked shelves, and chipped the buckled laminate top off. We used the chop saw, hacksaw, miter saw, and table saw. Scrap lumber only. Cost so far – $0.00.
Next, I had to paint this lovely gem. Once again, house paint I already had. I applied the paint, and then of course, took some of it off giving is a “professionally distressed look.”
Finally, what I did yesterday was put the finishing touches on the new piece of porch furniture. Instead of a painted wood backing, (too heavy and I didn’t have a scrap piece of lumber that fit) I caved in and purchased lemon tablecloth fabric to staple on it. My total investment in this “lemonade” craft, $4.50. Very satisfying. On to the conservatory!
Lovely!! Only missing a camel!!
This is quintessential Rene` if I ever did say!!!
