<br />
It was cold, and we ate out alot, and we are so very, very lucky considering.<br />
<br />
I will have an update soon on just a few things... but the more important work of gathering donations to send down to LI/Staten Island with my neighbor who is a NYC firefighter is priority #1.<br />
<br />
Be thankful, stay warm, and donate if you can.<br />
<br />
And thank you to those who checked in on me/us and were wishing us well... I'm sorry I could not let you know that we were ok. Could it be time to get one of those newfangled phones that have internet AND who's batteries hold a charge? Could be, could be.<br />

I generally know where I will distress an item, and my way of adding colors under the topcoat is to simply paint a few, thin, very feathered edged bits of color where I will distress so that the color will show through once I sand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've had some people roll their eyes and suggest this gives a lumpy appearance from layers under layers of paint. I have no idea what they are talking about, if you feather the edges and sand, you get no lumpy-ess. *shrug* It works for me.</div>

These are some of my favorites, and they have pretty covers....<br />

The man who sold us the floor, hearing how frustrated I was with the stain samples I had played with, suggested beating the floor to get some distressing, staining it dark all over, then sanding that dark stain off so that the dark stays just in the dents/dings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then stain the entire floor the lighter, golden color I want. </div>

<br />
My mom's husband [I'm 45, do I <i>really</i> call him my step dad??] had this little chest that needed some love, but I felt would be perfect in my sewing room for all my bibs and bobs, so it came home with me.<br />
Thank you benevolent step-dad/moms husband! :D<br />

Initially, I was planning a multi-colored, washed out/distressed theme of blues and greens over madetolooklikebarnwood grey, each drawer being a different color. But then as I sanded I realized that I had some mahogany stain from another table I did and this could be done lickety-split if I just stained it... and 'done' is something I have found so elusive lately that I had to go for its.<br />

I was actually able to get a coat of the antique white I will use over it on parts of it yesterday as well!</div>

It was like we were on fire around here, we got so much done!</div>

Anyway, so this will have the whole week to sit in the garage curing until I can get back and finish painting and distress them. Worked out perfectly really, 'cause if I was not going away I would be itching to dig in, and really a couple days to sit and cure is better.</div>

So we are off to a short vacation with my mom, her new husband and my sister.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is the first time in 8 years D, A and I have been able to get away with the boat on a lake, something my husband as a bachelor did every summer with his group of [now disbanded] friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think he's just a leeeeeeetle excited.</div>

My son is thrilled to spend more time with Sis and her chihuahua... I'm sure the feeling is a little less than mutual on the part of the Chi, but what'cha gonna' do? That's life as a small, cute dog.</div>

<br />
... but now I'm home and this weekend we happened to pass and then U turn to stop at an estate sale.<br />
There was some seriously great stuff, and it was late on the 2nd day of the sale by the time I hit it!<br />

I picked up this pair of cute tables, $20 for the pair:<br />

I'm wondering if the smaller one is the right size to become a bench in my mudroom....</div>

And finally, this trunk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My friend lost all her horses, and all her tack in a barn fire this spring. It still breaks my heart to think about. I had told her I wanted to find and customize a trunk for her, and have been looking ever since. The problem is that the trunks I find are either too nice to paint, or too pricey... or both.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I picked this one up for $10, and although I don't think I want to paint it, it will probably fit the bill.</div>

The place having the sale was a former general store and home of the store keepers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The details in that place were fantastic! The store had the most incredible built in shelves, and display cases. And an entire, still in great shape tin ceiling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The house part of the place had the built-ins that one expects from a place of this age. A lovely pantry cabinet in the kitchen. A porcelein'd double sink- one side deeper than the other with a drainboard that goes over the shallower sink. And you know me... I was ooh'ing and aaahing over the wallpaper in several of the rooms. I thought I was about to hit the jackpot when the Estate salesperson said she had several rolls of the paper she would sell me... alas she could not find them. I just wish I had had my camera on me to take a few pics of it on the wall.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, now I have several more projects on the production line... and another final summer vacation trip coming up in a week... so while I'll be faithfully working away, I can't promise when I'll update you all... just hang in there with me, will ya'?</div>

Setting up was fun, and my son enjoyed planning how he would display his Little People that he was selling.<br />
<br />
It was SO hot... and humid! My little Entrepreneur filled the cooler with frozen juice pouches and water bottles and made a few bucks selling those, and snacks he lugged around in a bin.<br />
He also attacked every person, welcomed them to the sale and handed them my business card.<br />
I love that kid!<br />
<br />
We got rid of alot of stuff, though not all the stuff as I had hoped to. That's how it goes though.<br />

This dresser is my work station in the garage. I do small projects on it, and store alot of junk, tools etc on it while I am working. Last week as I slapped chalk paint on the kiddie table/chairs set [SOLD!], I decided to also chalkboard the back of this so I could write on it. It worked out great, especially after we hoisted it up on the 2 small dollys so that we could roll it around. I'll be adding real, attached wheels to her, and trick out the top with fold down sides to give me a bigger work surface, and generally spiff her up 'cause it worked a charm!</div>

You can see on the counter of the hutch that I had a display of the rescues brochures, and many took those and also donated directly via the donation can I had out. I also sold one bottle of fly spray, and between those and the 10% I give the rescue, we raised $55 for Equine Rescue Resource over the whole weekend. Not as much as I had hoped for, but more than I could come up with out of my own pocket, so I'll take it!</div>

Whew! But alas, for almost what I have into it between purchasing it, paint, time [sanding the top was forever] and then the caned Heat Register metal in the upper doors and new screws all around because many stripped upon removal and were garbage. Is it worth it to get rid of it, gain space and also make a neighbor happy? I think so.</div>

The real win of this weekend was the shot in the arm of people gushing over my stuff... asking me how I did this or that, telling me I should teach a class on how-to, and just appreciating the creative side of this venture. To me these creations are 'easy', what to do to them just comes to me. I am learning that not everyone has that creative vision... and that this ability has value.</div>

I had a couple people stop by who do home staging, and hopefully they will get in touch if they have a space they could use a piece of my furniture in. I also met a very nice couple who has a nearby Antiques and Collectibles store, and they said they would like a small item for their shop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wouldn't that be great?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also had several neighbors stop by, and out here in the woods it's rare to see your neighbors. It was great to meet people, to swap stories and get a sense of community with a person instead of a bear/coyote/snake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I still have several items to list on Craigslist, to clear space in the garage... but we also have more space upstairs now, and it feels good not only to get rid of things, but to sell/give items to people who appreciate them.</div>

I had told myself I would be slashing prices on the Late Bloomers stock, and would NOT, therefore, be doing any touch ups.<br />
Guess how that's working out?<br />

<br />
Pricing is hard!<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
My son has this huge collection of Little People toys he adored as a toddler. Those have to go, and thankfully he is seeing dollar signs dancing before his eyes, and has agreed to sell them.<br />
<br />
The one pirate ship retails for $59! So what price do I put on it? It's complete... gently used.<br />
I've been pricing things at 1/3 retail price, and of course am totally in the mindset of 'I want this gone, make me an offer!'. <br />
I just hope I am not pricing things too high that people will walk without discussing!<br />
<br />
I have a train table and one of those giant ZipLock storage bags [and I mean the REALLY big one!] full of Thomas train track and cars... and I threw in all the other Thomas stuff he had as well like books and activity books and whatnot. <br />
Thomas train cars cost about $10 each, and he has at least 3 sets of track, those go for over $50 each. <br />
I priced the entire bag at $50 and the train table at $50 also. <br />
Ya' think that's too high? <br />
<br />
Again, I am thinking the real thrill of going to a garage sale is finding a bargain and then haggling the person down some more.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">Am I mistaken that others also go into a sale like this figuring they can whittle the price down a bit? Am I mistaken that $50 for a train table that retails for $130, is a decent price?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><br /></span></span><br />
<br />
I am so excited to have this place cleaned out, stuff we no longer use gone and into homes where they will get used... and some cash would be nice too!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>I am sad to say, I am also cleaning out the Late Bloomers stock. </i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had such high hopes.</div>
<i><br /></i><br />
<br />
I've sold one item in the last 12 months, the black China Cabinet, and made a whopping $400. <br />
I dunno' what it is that is slowing down interest in used or upcycled furniture. You would think with this economy, it would be thriving! But I think it's time to admit the venture has died and needs to be buried. I had such hopes for this to help me donate some to the Horse Rescue, as well as make me some spending money.<br />

... I had hoped that Late Bloomers income would make these kinds of 'extra' costs hurt less.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This started out priced at $450. I slashed it back to $350 and then $250 on Craigslist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's the price I have on it for the Garage sale, fully understanding I will have to go lower to get it gone. </div>

These beds are all solid wood, painted and distressed, and upholstered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They are appropriate size for American Girl Dolls, and we all know how much the AG furniture, that isn't even wood, goes for. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #38761d;">So all that being said, is $50 too much for each? $100 for the set of 3?</span> </div>

I tried to get the dog beds into a few local 'Natural' Pet stores, thinking recycled and locally upcycled was a nice fit. No one was the least bit interested in having them in their stores. Most of them never even responded to my inquiries.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
The one retail location I wanted to get my 'human' furniture into, a resale decor shop, closed. <br />
So sad. They had great stuff besides being a retail option for me. <br />
<br />
Plus the lady who ran it was very nice and creative... it just seemed like she was always running, which is the nature of having your own business. But I wonder how that played into the demise of her place? I do know the flood didn't help, she lost alot of stock because the creek behind her first location overflowed into her shop! Yuck!<br />
<br />
I look to the demise of her shop, and consider that if she couldn't make it with that prime location, then the fact that I am selling nothing out of my garage isn't really as much 'failure' as just what it is.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, wish me luck for this garage sale, keep your fingers crossed that I sell out, and that D doesn't lose his mind over people parking on the grass [HORRORS!].<br />

<br />
I have played with what to do with my kitchen back splash forever.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While it has a 4 inch granite backsplash, the rest of that wall just looked blah.<br />
I had started out painting it the golden yellow of the rest of the kitchen, but it just looked off.<br />
<i>Aside, that's what I love about paint.. you can try it, live with it a while and then just paint over it.</i><br />

I would love to do a herringbone marble tile, but the budget at present won't allow, so I toyed with doing a faux [painted] tile in the meantime... but kept putting it off because pin-striping tape is hard to find in my area and I knew that would be a major undertaking.<br />

I thought about tin ceiling, which we did at the old house. It was lovely, easy to clean and the classic look I wanted. But I'd already done that, so I kept leaning away from that too.<br />
<br />

Then there's my hankering for toile. I have been looking for a toile wallpaper in a scale appropriate to finish the hutch in the kitchen. I finally came across this one, and while considering it for the hutch, also debated using it above the 4" of granite back splash.</div>

Wallpapering is a new skill for me, and I am self taught for the most part, though I must have learned alot watching my grandmother Mary papering our various houses. Let me tell you, I was calling on her for help on this one, tight spaces are hard to wallpaper!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It took about an hour per length. The paper, while being vinyl, ripped easily when wet and there are more 'jogs' in that area than it even looks like! Getting it in place cut almost to the shape needed, and then trimming it in place... OY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Then I committed cardinal sin #1, not deciding where I would end the job before starting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Eventually I want to build a faux top to these cabinets, taking them to the ceiling and adding crown molding all the way around the room. So if I did go around the window, it would look really unfinished until that project got underway.... I already have so many projects that are half done, I really loathe the idea of adding another one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I stopped where I stopped in order to sleep on it and figure out where to stop.</div>

In the pic above of the sink and window, do you see where the bottom of the bottom shelf on either side of the sink is? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I <i>think</i> that's where I am going to carry the wallpaper to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll paper all around the bottom of the window, up to the point where the shelves start. I'll then finish off the paper edge with some trim the same width as the thickness of those shelves. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At least that's what I decided when I woke up this morning, but the day has just begun and I am only halfway through my first cuppa'... so who knows!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So what do you think? Would you wallpaper a back splash? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Would you wallpaper any rooms in your house?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know people groan at the thought of removing wallpaper in a house they are considering buying, but D convinced me that this is <i>my</i> house and I should do what I want, and if it doesn't work, I can always redo it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Honestly, there are so many beautiful wallpapers out there, Toiles, Florals, Geometrics.... I want a bigger house with more rooms so I can use them all!</div>

Well, actually... these two men I live with <i>are</i> 'different' and they <i>have </i>kept me quite busy the last few weeks!<br />
<br />
This always happens around the end of school.. it seems so far away and so 'not a big deal' and then WHAM... there are a bajillion things to do, and no time to do them in.<br />
<br />
We started my sons summer vacation with a trip to the beach and a toasty sunburn for both of us, and then started hubbys with a couple days on the boat with better sun block, with a few days at home in between each picking away at these never ending projects.<br />
<br />
Yes, progress has been made on the pine floors.<br />
<br />
Yes, the yard is looking better.<br />
<br />
And yes, I finally received the wallpaper I was waiting for!!!<br />
<br />
So, today I dove right in to work on the dresser while the boys were at the barbers getting shorn.<br />
<br />
Here's what it looked like when I got it:<br />

I tried to sell it with no luck, and then a few months ago I decided to redo it again for my sons room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The plan was to add map wallpaper, but the paper I really,<i> really</i> wanted was on back order. I looked and looked and finally found a Ralph Lauren wallpaper I liked as much, and while it was also on backorder, the website stated it would ship in just a week. So, I ordered and crossed my fingers... and it finally came in the mail 2 days ago, just as they had promised!</div>

I painted this dresser last year, and haven't sold it, so I started redoing it AGAIN so that I can use is in my sons room. The plan is to paint the whole thing blue/black [to go in his blue room] and then wallpaper the framed out sections of the drawers with map wallpaper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've gotten most of the black painted, but wouldn't ya' know it, the wallpaper I had my eye on is out of stock! My job tonight will be to research an alternate wallpaper to use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also am making some art to go above it, the theme of this room redo is 'Oh the places you'll go'. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He's almost 9. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
NINE! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can not believe it! And he's gotten so big,and what he'll do in the future and what he'll become ... well the options are endless, and I am just so proud of him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For such an interesting, vibrant boy, his room is so... blah! And he's kind of 'over' the construction trucks/Disney items we used in the past. So it's time for a 'bigger boy' room, I guess.</div>

My attempt at a Mackenzie-Childs-esque birdhouse.<br />
I bought some dollhouse shingles to roof it, and got this far when I encountered the problem of how to cut them and how to glue them. Still working that out.<br />

We are about 1/4th of the way there, thanks to Husbands friend who got us started and did the hard parts:</div>

At the entry at the top of the back stairs. The option was leave the 2 pieces of hardwood there, or remove them and butt the pine up to it. I am glad we went with the latter.</div>

This pine is 8" wide, and therefore it required a small sliver of a piece to finish filling the doorway. There is no way I woulda' thought of doing this, nor would I have been able to execute so perfectly!</div>

So this is the area between the North and South facing dormers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right in front of you, at the bottom of those windows, will be the Vermont Casting gas stove.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, between those dormers, I want to create faux beams out of this pine that run up the angled part of the dormer, across the ceiling, and then down the angle part of the opposite dormer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We think we want to do a plank ceiling, painted white, so the 'beams' will really look great against that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let me just tell you though, sanding that small portion of floor with my hand sander? Well it's a lovely result, and it sure beats the time I spent on my hands and knees de-waxing the Mother in Laws rental houses' no wax kitchen floor [we really know how to enjoy our Easter Break, let me tell you!].... but both wreak havoc on the back! And I can not even get to my clawfoot tub for a soak!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At least this effort was for something I want to do, not something I am doing out of necessity. Did I say how nice it looks and feels though? And I intend to slow us down further by sanding each cut end as we install too, cause some of those ends look jagged and though you can't see it when you're standing in there... when you are on your hands and knees sanding it? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, they bother ya'. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Trust me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So they will get a quick 'ZIP!' with the sander before install. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Yup, a bit more crap to remove [that was the hardest part, to be honest], and all the rest of that flooring to install. And yes some of the flooring had to go into my master bath 'cause there was no room to work, hence my inability to use my bathroom or show you my jewelry box as it sits there or use my tub to soak away these aches. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I guess that's a good thing, a sign of progress, so no complaints for now.</div>

This way you will walk up the walk, step up onto the pad, and then the steps will be easier to navigate [builder set them too high off the ground] to step up onto the porch.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So it's been a fairly productive week. I also made it to audit some lessons with a BNT [Big Name Trainer] of Dressage... and it was a mix of sad [Yo and I could do that!] and energizing. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yo had his Spring shots yesterday and only got a slight tummy ache afterwards and I did not have to sleep at the barn holding his hoof. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
<br />
Things are pretty much the same-same here... general chaos, dealing with shizzle that is not mine, but I have to deal with it anyway [a long personal story I will not bore you with]..... and FINALLY I have back my handy sander!!!<br />
<br />
I am so excited at the projects we have waiting to do, or just completed, check 'em out:<br />
<br />
<br />
We have what they call a 'Bonus Space' over our garage and mud/laundry room. Why is it called a Bonus Space? We planned it as part of the house design, and we paid for it. There is no BONUS to this, really. *shrug*<br />
<br />
This space is in transition to be a 2nd family room/guest suite.<br />
<br />
Here it is now:<br />

It's about 550 sq ft of <s>empty</s> wasted space. Since it is the last room to 'do' in the house I insisted I wanted to wait until I could do it 'right', meaning with my wide plank pine floors I wanted throughout the house. Well, I got it, sorta'... and my only other comment on this floor is 'be careful what you wish for'.<br />

<br />
After this project was done and I ventured to my sisters new house to help there and had Thanksgiving with my family, my mother became ill. Hence began my Blog Hiatus. Those of you who have followed my blog know all about the last 2 years my sister, brother and I spent caring for my father in his last years. My mother getting ill was scary on so many more levels... but she is on the mend now, and her situation is not as dire as Dads was, so we are all very thankful.<br />
<br />
I had a request in my comments to post this to a Link Party, and since I never checked my comments while I was on my hiatus I missed it. I am thankful for the request, Thanks Kammys Korner!, since it gives me a chance to update everyone and link up without having to create a whole new post....not alot of work has gotten done around here, and since I left my sander in Rochester [4 hours away], not much will get done for a while. *sigh* I'll be doing alot of sewing until I get Sandy back I guess.<br />
