The Awesomist Antique Armoire

 The other day as Mark was scraping, he came across this piece on the side of the road.  It was in such brutal condition, he almost didn't pick it up.  I had some serious doubts about it as well.  That night, I had had a dream, and in the dream, I saw this lovely green armoire.  Probably because I was on Pinterest right before falling asleep.

Retro Refinished Dresser

 This dresser has been awaiting its' re-do for a few months now.  Mark found it behind an apartment building, and while I wasn't quite sold on refinishing it at first, I'm quite happy I did.

A Week at Joy

Last week we were away at Joy Bible Camp for Boys' Camp.  It was a beautiful week.  Mark counselled, so I got to come along with the girls for a little vacation.  Here are some pictures to share from our week away.


Master Bedroom Barnboard Sign

I had this idea to start creating custom reclaimed wood signs.  I started with perfect a sign for our own master bedroom.  Here is the final result.


The Green Antique Hutch

 Awhile ago I did a buffet in this same colour, a deep green with a dark wax finish.  I thought it would be fun to do the same finish on a hutch, and I had this lovely piece to work on this week.
