Our Latest Quick Project/s

At the Fowler apartment, we have run out of room for furniture. Naturally because Casey is a carpenter, there is always a new project when he isnt working, and sometimes even when he is. Well, now that we have absolutely no room for anything else, he decided that he doesnt like the furniture he has built and wants to completely redo everything. When I say redo, he really just wants to change the color of the stain or paint it. Its nice because we have never had to buy furniture, but stressful to think he wants to change the color of our furniture already after having it for only a total of 6 months. But, its his hobby so I support him.

When we were first married, Casey went to habitat for humanity and got a record player cabinet. Its deceiving because the doors look like they open but they are just for decoration, so we had no storage area for DVDs or anything. But we got it for free so we made do with it temporarily. We didnt keep it the 70s oak finish, we painted it and made our own upgrades.

But anyway, finally bringing me to our project, was that he built a new one! And it looks soooo much better! Before... After..

What a Vast improvement. Great job casey!

Now for my project!! Im not much of a woodworker, so to speak, so this project makes me feel cool! I work at Target and any extra signing that they are about to throw away, is sometimes up for grabs. Most of the time their signing isnt something I would take because it has a model in the picture or will say something along the lines of 'expect more pay less'. Not really something I want in my home.. It just so happened that we were resetting the candles because many more were coming in, and they were getting rid of a candle sign. This one I had to keep! The moment I got off of work Casey and I headed up to my parents to work on building a frame for it in the shop. He told me what to do, but I almost did it completely by myself! Whoohoo, First project down many more to go!
