http://www.thediyvillage.com/2013/01/diy-dog-bowl-chairs.html

DIY Dog Bowl Chairs {Elevated Feeding Station}. January 7, 2013. Being DIY/crafters we often run into situations where people have old furniture that they just. We could do something with. More often that not this turns into a garage FULL of pieces I have NO. Clue what to do with! So when life gives you lemons (aka furniture you have no clue what to do with) you make lemonade (aka Dog Bowl Chairs). Right after we were given 4 old school chairs we quickly primed two of them. I used the dog bowl (aka mixin...

North Island Cottage: The adventures continue.

http://northislandcottage.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-adventures-continue.html

House . garden . thread . pastry. Monday, January 26, 2015. If it's not one thing it's another! Enough archaic expressions for ya'? Oh wait, Alack and Alas! Because I've had yet another misadventure. Remember when I said someone was coming to clean the deck, porch and ramps? Well, they did and it all looks great. Except we forgot that the spigot was open in the green house . . . for several hours . . . while he was running the water for the pressure washer. I wish I'd remembered it this year. Spent plant...

North Island Cottage: May 2014

http://northislandcottage.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

House . garden . thread . pastry. Friday, May 23, 2014. A few favorites. . . Anyway, recently I snapped a few photos of some of my favorites in the garden blooming now. This deciduous azalea fills the yard with fragrance. That lovely scent stopped me in my tracks at the nursery a few years ago and I had to have it. "Soir de Paris". Mine isn't in bloom now but is a nice healthy plant still in it's container. Here's some photos of my mother's plant. This is one of my favorite tiny plants with sweet tiny bl...

North Island Cottage: Dining room lighting

http://northislandcottage.blogspot.com/2015/03/dining-room-lighting.html

House . garden . thread . pastry. Wednesday, March 4, 2015. I have mentioned in the past that when we built this house in 1988, I was "into" Victorian style. If I could have, I would have had authentic Victorian furniture and all the ruffle and bows, dark oak furniture and curlicues available. Now it sounds rather cloying, oy! What remains of that era in our house are the shiny brass light fixtures. I loved this chandelier way back when. Entrance light - there's a matching one in the hallway. They defini...

North Island Cottage: July 2014

http://northislandcottage.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

House . garden . thread . pastry. Friday, July 18, 2014. We were making some progress on the stair project a bit ago. We decided to wait to paint the final coats on the risers until after hubby installs the treads. And then we got happily interrupted by the most wonderful event. The birth of our grandson. It sure slowed us down with things around here. We are in love! Typical conversation this week:. Hubby: when do you want to go see the baby again? No photos, either, since I can't get close enough, heheh.

North Island Cottage: June 2014

http://northislandcottage.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

House . garden . thread . pastry. Tuesday, June 24, 2014. One of our goals this year has been to finally finished the remodeling. But here it is almost July already! My focus tends to always be on the garden. But I am weary of plywood floors, clutter, uncomfortable spaces. So I am pulling myself up by the bootstraps and doing all I can do in prep for demolition, painting, flooring. Yikes! I get overwhelmed easily. This room is my #1 priority. The carpet needs to go and the walls need painting. So, wish u...
