At the last minute before your husbands fun loving family shows up for dinner

you run to your master bedroom trying to remember where the extra leaf for

the kitchen table was stored. Finally with victory you find it stashed in the back of the closet,

behind your husbands laundry bin. Thankfully he uses the floor for his laundry

and not the bin so getting the leaf out should be quick and easy. 

Once you slip through the hanging clothes and stubbing your toe on the sewing machine

also sitting on the floor on the closet, which reminds you that you should have

hemmed the dress you had planned to where this evening, you pull out the leaf with victory

still on your side and head straight for the dining table. Thank god the kids havent

come in from their busy day in the yard of hosing the dog down to set the dishes out yet.

Now its just a slight bit of acrobatic moves to get the table pulled apart by yourself

and get the leaf in place.

 Seriously!! ... now youre confronted with a big gaping hole pointed right at the door way

where your in-laws will be entering the room.

"I could turn the table and hope no one will see" ...

but that will block Beckys escape to her room when

aunt Patty starts complaining about her fancy $200 shoes that dont fit right

and cousin Jeremy staring inappropriatly (really he just has a lazy eye)

"The good table cloth will cover it up and solve all the problems!" ...

There is no time to start looking. The casserole timer is going off and the rug has not

been vacuumed for that would disrupt the game that Henry is watching.

Once you give in and start tearing open drawers and cupboards you find the good table cloth

still has mustard stains from Jacks birthday party that you had hoped might vanish if left alone.

If you are tired of this always happening to you,

simply follow these 7 steps. 

#1 Measure the height and length you need in a new apron board.

#2  You will need to get 2 boards cut to fit the measurements you have taken,

1 for each end.

#3 With some coarse sand paper smooth the edges on your new boards.

#4 Measure the distance in from the edge where they need to go.

#5 Screw the boards into place using corner brakets. 

#6 Double check how it looks by installing the leaf in your table.

#7 Once everything looks good paint the new apron piece to match your table.

A few unpractical alternatives might include:

Burn everything you cook then you wont be asked to cook dinner.

Dont clean your house then no one will want to come for dinner

Marriage comes with in-laws, think carefully before deciding.

HOW TO REUSE OLD WINDOWS lovely french shelf

 

 

Last month I realized I have never had a hand towel in the bathroom. Ive lived here for years and I

would hunt down a big bath towel hanging on the door to dry my hands. Last week I went out and

 found some nice pretty soft ones care of HomeSense. And I cant believe Ive converted so quickly

 that I am using them several times a day. Before I enjoy them too much I wanted to use them in a

photo shoot. 

 

 

 

I love to create, whether Im building something or taking a great picture of it. It focuses my mind

and keeps me moving, but I have to work at my own pace to rest my back as it needs.

 

This time I took a few days and custom designed a French shelf around two vintage windows.

Ive done something similar years ago but then it was a dresser I repurposed instead of windows.

 

 

These windows are like the ones I remember from elementary school. They have an interesting

 look with a wire mesh inside the glass and texture outside leaving them slightly frosted. 

 

Every piece of trim I used on this shelf was salvaged from other discarded furniture.

 

I hope this has inspired you to find different ways to repurpose vintage windows.

FIXING A HARP AND MIRROR old hinges

Senin, 01 Februari 2016

 

 

Here is a great use for one of those old hinges we all have in the junk drawer

or filling up a jar on the garage shelf.

  

REPLACED HINGE                               ORIGINAL MECHANISM

 

This mirrors left pivoting mechanism was twisted and broken off making the mirror unusable.

While the owner is looking for a replacement part an old hinge will keep the mirror in place.

The hinge can be used vertically or horizontally but the mirror will not be able to pivot.

 

HAPPY FIXING
