There are so many advantages of living in a small town.  There are a few disadvantages, too, but we don’t focus on those.  When you live in a small town, everyone knows your business.  That can work as an advantage.  Did you see the huge pieces of concrete that we grabbed a few days back.  […]

We are a sucker for old concrete.  I have no idea why.  Maybe because it has a history.  And, old pieces of concrete look like they match our style more than NEW concrete.  Maybe it’s just us who think this.  Do you remember the VERY FIRST project we shared with old pieces of concrete?  It […]

Do you remember when Deb and I made a flying trip to Illinois a few weekends ago to pick up a 12′ antique store counter. (You can see the before pictures in that post.)   We want to use it as our kitchen island.  Well… I wanted to strip it down to the original pine wood […]
