Our Home Update- The Majestic-again

Your wish is my command...;)

No more than a few hours ago I was wishing to see the flooring and here they are. 

As you can see the men are busy at work laying down the flooring.

This is the Foyer. OMG it looks great!

Ok, back to kitchen

This is the garage door. Hell even that looks good.

This is in the master bed room and I already have plans for this little corner.

Everything is coming along so well. 




Well sorta of I have not seen my screen door yet?

A Good Day

Today has been a good day. 

My kids have returned from the mid-west. They visit they're dad on summer breaks...and today is also the first time they have seen their new rooms with all the bells and whistles...It was great to hear Mykala scream...

 "I LOVE MY ROOM...THANKS MOM!!!" 

and My son yelled I got a new AIRSOFT Gun COOL!...LOL...

Anywho, today as I waited for them to fly in; 

I decided to paint this old bamboo table that I purchased at Goodwill 4 years ago, 

I think it turned out nice. 

Its in foyer, and I plan on doing a lot more editing to this room.

in the mean time let me tell you a little about the items

that Asian statue was once gold. EWW

So, I sprayed painted it red. 

The item in the middle is just another Asian motif they we inherited with our move,

and the two vases are paper mache vases that I made....

I know blah, blah...but all in do time.

No rush....

Thanks for stopping by!

HGTV 

Design on a Dime

Materials and Tools:

one box of bamboo flooring

construction adhesive and wood glue

2. Cut two pieces of the 1x4 pine to the length of bench. Attach them to the underside of the box for support. Cut smaller pieces to sandwich in between the boards and hold the legs in place.

3. To create the legs, cut down four strips MDF and nail them together into a square leg. Repeat to build five legs.

4. Attach the legs to the underside of the bench.

5. Cut the bamboo planks to fit across top. Use a miter saw to cut the edge pieces at 45 degree angles.

6. Spread adhesive over MDF and set bamboo pieces in place interlocking each piece tightly.
