When tearing down drywall we discovered that the wall between the kitchen and dining room was load bearing. Never something you want to learn after demolishing the rooms. So we had a two choices. First choice was to hire a structural engineer to design and hang a beam from wall to wall. Big bucks and a lot more time. Second option was to install a post. Against the pleading of family we decided to put a post. I think they did not like to post because they thought we'd walk right into it not noticing a huge post in our way. We knew we had find a creative way to incorporate the post into the kitchen. So we installed a second post thinking to install a table making it a permanent fixture in the kitchen.

I like the decorating and shopping, not particularly the hard labor. Steven had the great idea about a year ago to make a table out of a door. The problem with that is most doors have holes for the door knob already cut out or they have the door knob installed. Luckily on an afternoon drive we came across Passport Imports. They had dining room and coffee tables already constructed out of doors. So we purchased one, sawed off the legs and with the help of my parents (the table weighs as much as a baby elephant) hung the table between two beams. </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"> </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The hanging table is colorful and unexpected.

I am not the white elephant exchange type of girl. I do not like surprises! Ask Steven or my mother. The contently tell me I ruin surprises. In this case, it is the fear of giving an unwanted gift. I like to give gifts that make people smile (like most people). The white elephant exchange makes me fear the coworker cringe. You know, that look of unhappiness when they open your gift and it was not one of the 'prize' gifts. So I had no intention of participating. Plus I had no tim</span><span style="font-family:arial;">e to purchase a cool gift for under $20.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />The day before the potluck I broke down. I was going to participate. There were a few road blocks. First, I had no car to leave the house to buy a gift. Second, it was my late night of work. Third, Less than 24 hours to make pizzelles and get a gift. So I had to be creative and see what we already had in the house. After completing the book table we had a few left over hardcovers. I then remembered we had a few sheets of cork. All I needed were picture hangers. When Steven came home from work I made him rush me to Lowe's for the picture hangers in between evening appointments.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtgYf8KT9UBQxy7K0q5CIk0XpshQFp08nYm5yC_RwkrWFbfSigRTXGrkdsz68aKxGNaEutbDEOP1dEl1eMUqYdIUG143VJXKvpSFw0_VKda9FebCyr8ZzP3Ypw8BofBiN68nEQ4McrEfy/s1600/House+and+Volunteering+Decmeber+003.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbtgYf8KT9UBQxy7K0q5CIk0XpshQFp08nYm5yC_RwkrWFbfSigRTXGrkdsz68aKxGNaEutbDEOP1dEl1eMUqYdIUG143VJXKvpSFw0_VKda9FebCyr8ZzP3Ypw8BofBiN68nEQ4McrEfy/s320/House+and+Volunteering+Decmeber+003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578079641876563682" border="0" /></a></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">During the NASCAR drive and 5k race to and from Lowe's I asked Steven for a bit of help. Less than an hour later I had these cool cork book boards. They did not make me cringe and I had a hard time wrapping my gift because I am going to keep them. But it did not matter what I thought, it was all about the cringe face.

We recently bought a new couch and needed a new coffee table to accompany the couch. We had an idea to create a coffee table where the base would be constructed out of stack of books. We thought this would look really interesting but we needed to find something to make the table top out of. We visited a couple of antique stores and came up with a brilliant idea. Why not use a picture frame as the table top. Not only would it be interesting visually but it would provide functionality as the lip of the frame would prevent roll offs and the glass would be easy to clean. We had a picture frame we were unsure what to do with so we knew we could use it. We painted the frame blue and started collecting books and looking for a picture for the frame. <div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">We originally estimated we needed about 50 books. The books needed to be hard covered and we wanted them to be of various size. Well we started buying cheap used books we found and solicited others from family. Our goal was to use only books that we would never want to read, as we could not stomach destroying a book that we wanted to read. After getting 50 books and beginning to stack them we quickly realized that we needed many more books. Our estimated total number needed jumped to about 150. Now out to hunt for 100 more books. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">On a trip to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore we saw they had a sale of used books for 50 cents each. I bargained with the store manager and was able to get 100 hard cover books for 25 dollars. We now had our collection of books needed to start our project. We bought a ¼ inch piece of plywood and cut it down to the size of the frame, this would be used as the base of the table. We stacked the books and nailed them into place. Some of the books with interesting titles we turned the cover out, and the others we showed only the pages. The stacking of the books proved to be a little more difficult then we anticipated. Having many different sizes creates a good look but it makes it difficult to create a level surface. Good thing Liz and I are good at puzzles. </div><div class="MsoNormal">We decided we wanted the coffee table to be able to roll. Liz had the amazing idea to put huge industrial castors on the bottom. This would fit with the look and bring the table to a more appropriate height. The castors also had to be heavy duty because the table made of 150 books ended up weighing a couple hundred pounds. We bought six castors, which was the most expensive part of this project, and mounted them to base of the table. We chose to have six castors as we didn’t want the table to sag in the middle over the extreme weight.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">To finish off the frame we needed a picture in the frame. We live in and love Tempe, Arizona so we wanted a Tempe themed picture. We chose to try and get something that would remind everyone of historical Tempe. At the Tempe Historical Museum they sell a replica of a real estate map made in the early 20<sup>th</sup> century of Tempe. This was the piece we had been looking for and it looks great in the frame. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">We love this table. It rolls great, looks great, and is a great addition to our house and our wonderful lives.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173106619218870986.post-27255426255199924452011-01-20T18:06:00.000-08:002011-01-20T18:34:49.605-08:00Sunset Desk<span style=";font-family:arial;;" >Our apologies for being out of commission for the last week.<span style=""> </span>We’ve been working on our first resolution (removal of the river rock).<span style=""> </span>And we are almost there!<span style=""> </span>Our backyard is looking amazingly bare and the receivers of the rock have projects of their own to begin.<span style=""> </span>We’ll keep you updated.</span> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family:arial;"><span style=""><span style="font-family:arial;">Today I want to go back to a blog a few weeks ago about paint.</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><span style="font-family:arial;">That is where we will begin.</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Who thought purple, bubblegum pink and lime green paint would turn into a fun reminder of an Arizona sunset while being a functional and amusing craft desk.</span><span style=""> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="">We embarked on this project last fall when Steven’s sister, Lori, mentioned she was in the market for the perfect ‘L’ shaped desk.<span style=""> </span>She lives in a small apartment where she spends most of her day crafting remarkable paper crafts.<span style=""> </span>It is even more miraculous since she is clinically blind.<span style=""> </span>Lori has some vision and what comes out of it is amazing.<span style=""> </span>But back to the task at hand.<span style=""> </span>Steven and I decided we had enough time to find and put the life back into an old desk just in time for Lori’s birthday and Christmas.<span style=""> </span>We were looking for a desk that was functional and had a lot </span><span style="">of surface area to spread out.<span style=""> </span>At the same time it had to be small enough to fit into her apartment.</span></p><span style=";font-family:arial;;" >On one of our regular runs to Arizona State University Surplus we found what we were looking for.<span style=""> </span>ASU Surplus is where the local university sells their old, outdated furniture and odds and ends.<span style=""> </span>We end up buying the crazy the stuff.<span style=""> </span>ASU Surplus has inspired many projects that we will speak of on a later date.<span style=""> </span>That day we found a retro, metal desk and a typing table with retractable sides that slid perfectly under the desk.</span> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-family:arial;">To paint we took the entire desk apart hoping to be able to reassemble.</span><span style=""><span style=""> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="font-family:arial;"><span style=""><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPWrE9q-joNTMzKFgClsLME09ZcDZBeOSEj-vaZTfyEIdMGRfkgu7j8Kdf-V98GsIDoqVKkdAHSQAZUKfdBtgiO25b8UK3FwHydIZNSdjqyOst7NC68efKBpHlUHM9dQ0KVvHu-7edZQBV/s1600/Everything+House+002.JPG"><img style="display: block;

While at the bike junkyard in Rye, Az, where we were buying the rusted frame for the mailbox, we noticed the man had a green bike route sign for sale. Being cycling enthusiasts we decided we couldn’t pass up the sign for 20 dollars and took it home. At that point we had no idea what to do with the sign but that is how good ideas sometime start. We held up the bike sign next to the door and quickly realized that we were in the market for enough street signs to completely face the enclosure.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">We immediately started planning and constructing the wall, and definitely not in that order. From a construction standpoint I was excited that we would be facing the wall because that left me more options to frame it, as the framing would not be visible in the finished design. I used metal studs to frame the archways as they would bend nicely and create a perfect arch. In between the metal studs I framed with wood studs to give the wall the necessary strength to hang the door.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">With the framing completed we went shopping for interesting used street signs. We found a yellow street flooded sign and a Mill Avenue sign at a local antique shop and our collection was now up to three items. A search on craigslist.org put us in touch with a local man looking to sell a stop sign, a 45 mph speed limit sign, and a handicap parking sign. Through some negotiation we landed these at a very good price. The final sign was a golf cart crossing sign we found at a different local antique shop.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The hardest part of the entire process was cutting the first sign. We decided to trim the sign to size using a jig saw with metal cutting blades. Since the wall was going to also act as a door jam we needed to have safe and smooth edges to the signs to avoid having a death trap as the door to the office. We purchased a multi-pack of the most teeth per inch (TPI) metal cutting jigsaw blades available and went home to cut the signs. Cutting one sign we went through the entire pack of blades. The sign looked great and the cut was smooth but at this rate the fabrication of the wall was going to break the bank. Returning to the hardware store we bought two different multi-packs of blades, one the same TPI as the first round and one with slightly less TPI. The idea was to try to cut the next sign using the rougher blade; we would see the quality of the cut and the durability of the blade and make a decision from there on how to proceed. We cut the next sign in about a tenth of the time and the cut was smoother as the blade stayed sharp and true throughout the cut. In fact, we used the one blade through all the rest of the cuts with no challenges. It is amazing the results you can get when you use the proper tools. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The final product was an amazingly interesting looking addition to our house and the Mill Ave sign added that Tempe touch that we love. We hung the door and used a ball catch assembly rather than a traditional latching assembly to keep our options open for potential door knobs. We now had privacy in the office which was a key when the wife works from home. I live by the motto “A happy wife means a happy life!” Finishing this project will make a huge step towards my happy life.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

was a bit blah and more than anything, cheap.<span style=""> </span>So the frame sat until one day when we ended up meeting an old man at a swap meet in Apache Junction.<span style=""> </span>He sold us some license plates.<span style=""> </span>We collected a few more plates that my dad had saved from old cars and then screwed them to the frame.</span></p> <p style="margin:

style="margin: 0in;font-family:arial;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Now we had a 6 by 4 foot frame with a 5 by 3 hole.<span style=""> </span>We purchased the glass, added the flag, finished the backing of the frame and what we ended up with was a 150 lbs framed flag.<span style=""> </span>We had no idea how we were going to lift if up above the fireplace or hang the frame on the wall.<span style=""> </span>With the help of cleat hangers (once you go cleat hanger you will never go back) and four people lifting we were left with a lovely, eye catching piece in our living room. </span></p> <p style="margin: 0in;font-family:arial;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0in;font-family:arial;font-size:11pt;"><span

Aisle<p style="margin: 0in;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Our paint of choice, well that is spray paint.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">It is smooth and shiny.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Also, we do not have to buy brushes, meaning no brush marks.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Only issue is fewer color choices.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">That is not to say we do not use other types of paint.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Every trip to the home improvement store we seek out the 'messed up' paint shelf.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">This shelf has gallons and quarts of paints that were incorrectly mixed, not necessarily ugly paint, the color just does not work for the original requester.</span></p> <p face="Calibri" size="11pt" style="margin: 0in;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0in;font-family:arial;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0in;font-family:arial;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Okay, back to the spray paint aisle.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Usually near the end of a project we find out that we are just a few inches short of paint, so we race to the spray paint aisle.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">On a regular basis the color we need is sold out.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Could be that we purchased all the paint in the hue the last time we visited the store.</span></p> <p face="arial" size="11pt" style="margin: 0in; font-family: arial;"> </p> <p style="margin: 0in;font-family:arial;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0in;font-family:arial;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Now we enter the paint aisle predicament.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Drive to all the stores that sell that brand of paint.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Be patient and go back in a few days (this one is totally not going to happen).</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">OR find a way to incorporate an additional color.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Fast forward to the last option.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Steven and I usually agree on a second or third paint color but that is not before 'the look.'</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">He looks at me like I am insane.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Like why not just pick white or black?</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Why pick a totally random color?</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">How does purple, bubble gum pink, and lime green go together?</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">You just gave me that same look!</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Didn't you?!</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">I promise it works.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">He agrees to purchase the paint.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">We go home and spray away.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Then we notice at the end of the project, just before the sun goes down that the view we have is of a stately green Saguaro framed by the most beautiful Arizona sunset.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><span style="font-size:100%;">Some how our project matches our scenic view.</span></p>Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14280720952821375571noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173106619218870986.post-85727903315057593292010-12-15T14:08:00.000-08:002010-12-15T16:28:26.114-08:00Bicycle

Most people would give their right leg to work from home but after a week I had cabin fever. My field trips were to the gym and grocery store and they became redundant. Then at about week three of Steven coming home to a crying wife he surprised me with an art class. I was going to weld!<br /><br />Now I am not allowed in the kitchen but I was about to be given fire, electricity and gas in combination. What a potential recipe for disaster. Well let me just mention up front that only the expected small welding fires were created and I have all my limbs. What came out of the class was a beautiful chandelier. Steven found a rusted tractor wheel on Craigslist.org. We had it professionally cleaned and I was off to class with my wheel and steel tubing and rods. I first created the pockets that hold the lighting fixtures. Then I followed by creating the nest that hangs below. Steven wired the chandelier and we were done! Well we thought we were.<br /><br />Let me tell you hanging a tractor wheel from a vaulted ceiling is heavy and hard. Not that I would know too much about it as I watched from below. What I can tell you is that it is hilarious! Especially watching your husband and brother in law swinging from the ceiling!Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14280720952821375571noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173106619218870986.post-6368194671371406912010-12-13T18:37:00.000-08:002010-12-15T16:26:51.079-08:00The BeginningWhen I married my sweetheart we decided that<br />we were going to fore go a hone<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Ai6PDwMrJRDsNfO4tQ27KgjopI56ul4gP87J6kAXs0itueEZbfYOgi4rpHF-tePDLGkDBrByHjIImQRvPC_7fEzepFshhmDk1PBv9XfTJVF9ZTiLeIS7GBaocL6lHRJRag5_mYPZtAK8/s1600/370.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Ai6PDwMrJRDsNfO4tQ27KgjopI56ul4gP87J6kAXs0itueEZbfYOgi4rpHF-tePDLGkDBrByHjIImQRvPC_7fEzepFshhmDk1PBv9XfTJVF9ZTiLeIS7GBaocL6lHRJRag5_mYPZtAK8/s320/370.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550584711377362898" border="0" /></a>ymoon and instead buy our dream house. It was the right timing as the house was a family members who had recently passed. I said it was our dream house but it was far from perfect. It was a great base and we knew with a lot of work we could make it special and most importantly a reflection of who we are. I agreed to buy the fixer upper and made my wife promise she would not push renovations, and we would take our time fixing up our fixer upper. Well it has been eighteen months and over 20,000 dollars and we are not going slow but I am starting to love the house. We still have a long way to go but we want to show off our space. We will continually update this with posts of what we have done and what we are doing.<br /><br />We should have taken pictures of the before but we didn't think eighteen months ago that we would ever be writing a blog. So I will try and paint you a picture with words. There is that old saying that a picture is worth a 1,000 words, but I promise to keep it short. The house is a 1,950 square foot brick house that is sitting on a 10,000 square foot lot. Our house sits on the corner of a street which gives us a large wrap around backyard. It has a large pool and a beautiful concrete paver patio and walkway.The problem was the rest of the yard. When we moved in the house the yard had seventeen trees, a whole side of the house covered in 4 foot thick fig vines, weeds higher than I stand, and most horribly around sixty tons of medium to large river rock. At this point we are down seven trees, no vines, no weeds, and only about fifty tons of river rock. Did I mention we hate the river rock. The back yard is a continual work in progress. Unfortunately we need to get rid of the river rock before we can redo the back yard and no one wants river rock so we take a ton a time to the city dump.<br /><br />The inside of the house was not much better. The previous owner, and yes she was a beloved family member, had three untrained dogs that had created quite the unbearable odor inside all over the white carpeting. The part of the house that was not white carpeting covered in unbearable odor was covered in mismatching and unlevel pink saltillo tile. Between the stench and the unattractiveness we decided to invest quickly in beautiful Australian Cypress hard wood floors. This made a huge difference in our house and our dog loved us for getting rid of the smells. This should give everyone a little taste of what we started with and you will see more in the many pictures we will post. If you like our stuff or have any ideas please feel free to let us know. We are always looking for creative ideas to try out or adapt to make our own. Oh I should mention our style is far from ordinary, but so far people seem to love it. We really enjoy taking items that would end up in a landfill or on the curb and make them beautiful and interesting. I hope you all enjoy!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
