Projects!
Over the years, we had had soooo many projects. This is just a couple. More to come, including pics of tile floors, hardwood floor, refinished and restored furniture, etc etc.
Homemaker Geeks Cover page, shows a couple of Projects including the painting on the Wall, the Floor, Wainscoting on the wall and the Converted Dresser into their Dining Rom Side Buffet, (Hand Painted and re-topped in Marble with new trims) all at our dear Friends home. We also did the square Tile Rustic entry Floor, laid on the Diamond. Our Friend went out to his property and Cut the Log and We brought it down to their house with My Tractor that they bought from us when we moved, where he stripped it and I can’t remember if he or I or He and I sealed it up with the Polyurethane that we did the rest of their Project with.
To this home, We added two additions left and right. My Husband and our Sons replaced the deck and balcony, new roof, asphalt driveway, French drain around the house, ran out all the way across the pasture to the slough. To the left. New kitchen cabinets, fireplace refaced, new floors throughout. Ripped up Stone entry, gosh, I built new barn doors, added a concrete pad out side stall entrances. Brought in 13 truckloads of sand and built a 75’ arena. ..hmmmm, is that it?I can tell that the current owners let the arena go.. a snow and windstorm took out some of the double flowering plumb trees that use to line the driveway.New build out. Ken framed the Pony wall and we did wainscot with decorative flutes and Rosettes and with Rope trim, and Limestone trim, Marble top, reinforced with angle iron under it to hold the span. The wall was a rail where you could see through to the fam room and from there you could see the dining Em table legs??♀️ I also refurbished the garage sale “beach wood” wine rack on the right, to match the marble top and pulled out. the Marble Matches the Marble that I refaced the LR Fire place with.New View from the Den, we also ripped up the carpet and put the Pergo floor in the Den. I also designed the kitchen remodel…new custom made cabinets.. when we sold, they covered up our Pergo floor in the Den.I designed this room extension. Took the design from paper to an Architect to have it drawn up. And we acted as our own General contractor on this one. Had a good friend General that kept the project on schedule to the best of our ability. We bought the Chandelier, and I bought and painted the medallion above the chandelier. It is a facade.. just hung up around the lighting fixture in the ceiling. It was glued to the ceiling. (Not elmers?)

With a Cedar Paneling above with a Pellet stove insert. I resurfaced the Fireplace with Marble and limestone trim and Rope trim on the Mantle. I used Light Mortar to put it up, and grout between.. next time… no grout.
