A Gutted Kitchen

We have removed, disassembled and discarded fifty yr. old cabinets before starting repair work in this kitchen. Some sheetrock and subflooring has been replaced and the wiring will need updating along with lighting. Kitchens are challenging and water damage is unfortunate. White oak flooring goes in this week and new cabinets come before Christmas.

A Square Grand Piano

 The square grand piano inherited with Leif's house was moved yesterday, although we kept the Brazilian Rosewood top and gorgeous carved legs for a coffee table. Below is a kitchen island made from the same piano by Victoria Elizabeth Barnes, photos via Pinterest.


Our square grand piano was beyond restoration and the floors beneath it could not be refinished under it's weight. Moved by "Omara Meehan Piano Movers" which is all they do.

Outdoor Chairs

The back porch of this house has needed a couple of chairs on it's corner of dappled sun, as we clear a yard for Leif on his 3 1/2 acres.  Finding ones that can withstand any weather with a modern vibe means they can go anywhere for us. Powder coated steel, stackable, & 2/3 off sale.

A Screened Porch

 


I have refinished the Brazilian Rosewood table left here, after Leif found a missing piece of veneer for it. It was sanded with 120 & 220 grits and given three coats of Danish Teak Oil. The thick jute rug came free (like new) from a neighbor's move and is very natural here. A second story screened porch off the dining room with a view is special.
