Pondering Garden Plots...

So some work has gone into our back garden plots.  With a 200ft. lot, we have some space.  My dad helped level out the edge of our property before the big drop to the park bellow.  We rejoiced with some coffee and deer spotting.  It's a work in progress, so I'll keep you posted.

A work in progress

I found this Ork poster and wanted to do something with it.  Maybe it's lame to have a Toronto poster when you live in Toronto but, well, whatever.

It's still missing something, but I'll get there....I'm sure

Alright, I think we got it....

Doing triple duty

While I can't take credit for the idea...(Steve), I did still execute, including a trip to get the wood cut and figuring out measurements.  This bench functions as a window seat/additional seating besides the couch, dining room seating, and extra storage.

The table's home is up against the wall, so that it can also function as a desk.  But when you have guest you can pull it up to the bench to seat four.  When I put the table together, I made sure to inset the legs knowing that it would be pulled up to a bench (unlike a chair that you can easily tuck under a table.) so it needed the extra lip.  I cut up a mattress pad to make the top extra cushy, and used a micro fiber drape as the upholstery to cut cost.

Oldies but goodies

So I was digging through some old computer files recently and found a few photos a felt like sharing they are miscellaneous and not really DYI but I'm sharing anyway...

Little wood blocks

So I did this project a while ago.  In search of a way to casually showcase some photos I'm fond of I came up with this concept.  I printed a mini collection of photos wallet sized a cut some blocks from scrap wood to fit the photos.  I drilled a hole in the back of the block so it can be hung from a nail on the wall.  I like the idea of grouping them together or scattering them, as a little reminder of a tiny special memory...

Happy Bird Day!
