Recent Projects

Joanna wanted to try and make a bed out of pallet wood. She found a plan online, so Joshua, Joanna and I decided to give it try.

We have a nice big room in the end of our garage and Joshua has turned it into his wood working shop.



Joshua brought some pallets in from the barn and sawed them apart.
After measuring, sawing, and planning it was ready to be nailed together.
Got the head board done! :)
Joanna was really happy with the way it was turning out! :)
After we got the foot board done we brought it inside to screw it together.

And here is the finished project!! We had a lot of fun putting it together and turned out really nice. 
In all it only cost about $30 for the extra lumber and screws.


--------------------------------------------
Joanna and I also took some time to paint stripes on her one wall. 
After measuring and taping we painted them.
We never tried anything like this before, so it was exciting when it turned out ok. 
I really like the affect it gave to her room.
-------------------------------

I really enjoy building stuff and the stack of pallets out back gives me so many ideas! The other day I decided to build a little house that I could feed the cats in so the dogs couldn't get to it. It took me about 45 minutes and it's far from perfect, but it works great! 
------------------------------

Joshua has been making some cool things for the house. 

He made this little box to sit on Mom's table.
He made a really cool little band saw box.


He also made a gun rack for the boys room.

These pictures were taken off the ipod, so they aren't real clear.
Kaitlyn requested Joshua to make this for her. It turned out really cute!! Joshua has an amazing talent when it comes to wood. He loves making things!! 

 ------------------------------------

I finally got the curtains done for the living room. 

I thought about doing drapes, but I didn't want to take away from our view. I just made valances and I am really happy with the way they turned out.

Joanna and I have also repainted our bathroom and the hallway. Yesterday, I repainted the guest room. Slowly but surely everything is getting done. :)
