New Bike

 

 

 

The story of this bike merits telling: the tires are from two different bikes (one from the thrift store and the other from a bike from the dump).  The training wheels also came from the thrift store.  Travis took the two bikes and made them into one funky little bike for this 3- almost 4-year old.  The smiles lasted only about 5 minutes as he quickly crashed and refused to ride it again.  Little "Tommy TV" will have another ride again, though, I'm sure.

What a Difference Some Paint Makes

 

 

...it feels good completing just one of the many little jobs on my house to-do list.

Happy Weekend!

Cabinet + Slipcover

After looking and looking for a suitable cabinet to put in the corner of my living room, I decided to make my own.  It's not professional by any means and looks homemade, but at least it houses my childrens books and holds the lamp.  I had scrap wood in the garage and found a wooden table on the street for free (for the top).  My mom gave me a box of wooden feet and so I used those for the feet.  I am really into gray these days, so that seemed like a nice, neutral color for the cabinet. 

The slipcover was purely aesthetic.  I was tired of the brown microfiber and it was too much brown in the living room for me.  It, again, doesn't look professional, but it does the job for now.
