Projects

Well, we're new to this whole blogging thing. So, this will be our first attempt at a blogsite. Here goes!

Lately, we have just been working and working on little projects. Our first project was the under-the-bed dresser. When Dad gave it to us, it wasn't in that great of shape. But, we sanded it down and stained it a different color.

Here is the after picture of our couch that we reupholstered. It was in really rough shape, but was a really good price so we just picked out some fabric and stapled it everywhere to make it stay!

Our next project was a table. We rummaged through the scrap pile at work and found some extra wood flooring lying around that we thought would make a nice table. So, we brought it home and got to it.

Here is the underside of the table. We have limited tools, but we just had to make do. I had to buy a saw and sander though. The screw gun was a gift from our wedding.

Oh yeah, if you notice.....we made this pretty much all in our apartment. Here is a picture of the table before we took it out to stain it.

Finally! The finished project. All in all the time to make this table wasn't bad. It took about two days. With the limited tools and space we have I don't think it turned out too bad. Just to be funny, we decided to put it on craigslist.com for sale to see if we got any responses. We aren't planning on selling it. We're just curious.


Well, that's all for now!!!

Yay, so glad you have a blog now! See, those are the kinds of things you blog about. Now we wanna see some pictures from work.

I'm not kidding, I LOVE that table! If I lived closer, I'd make you guys build me one...only dark, long, and shorter so we could sit at it with computer type comfy chairs, lol :)
