Trash to Treasure

I Am A Big Fan Of Turning Trash Into Treasure!

 
 
Here is a pile of trash someone
left in front of my garage/workshop
 
 
 
 I guess they know me well.....I was very happy to have it!
 
Someone had used the chairs for sawhorses...the seats were all cut up and the table was just a mess....but I loved the detail on the chairs and the table legs.
 
Sooo....I mentioned to Walter that it would be a good idea to put a new top on it.....
Well, he got started so fast that I didn't even have time to take a photo
of the table with the original top. 
 
Here it is with the top already off
 
And the wood chosen for the new top
 

 and the new top on....

Walter is AMAZING sometimes!
 
So now we sanded the chair seats and painted them all
and  I am currently trying to decide if I should sand them in spots
to make that delicious original green color show through!
 
PS...this is a different table I came across this weekend. 
 It is great because of the size of the metal top.  Usually these tables are much smaller
 
 
I have to do some reorganizing before
I can fit the set in the barn but
I love it..... it came out so sweet
The set is available for sale in the barn $195
 
On another note....here are my fabulous finds this weekend

 
     .....and here is my current project....
    repainting the legs of this table
 

 


Saturdays have been such a success at the barn that we have decided to open on Sundays too.
See you this weekend....Sherron

Buffy, My Paddle Board Loving Dog

My Dog, Buffy, is fairly new to the family. 
We only have him about a year,
but he has taken to the water like nobody's business!
(we adopted him from a shelter about a year ago)
Right from the beginning he was
quite comfortable in the water


His balance was great, and even if he falls off
he can get right back on by himself
 
As soon as we get to the waters edge he is eager to jump in
and I have trouble staying ahead of him
All in all, I had a very relaxing vacation....
which I really needed. 
 
On another note.....this is my find of the week
I just love this step ladder.
