Delivery Day!!

My buddy from Chicago came today to deliver tin, mantles, sconces and more!  It is a family affair with my Dad helping keep track of the tin and my Mom keeping me on budget!  We have some neat patterns this time.

What do I do with the tin?  Some goes on the front of our counters and cabinets, we make framed tin for the wall and lately, mirrors.

Terri is always wondering why I never make her anything.  What do you think, should I make her something?

A creative mind….

Two new creations this week. 

Table with 4 leaves $385

A twist on our usual tables.  Normally we have old legs and put on a new top.  I had taken the legs off of this table to make a harvest table, so we put new legs with the old top.  Has 4 leaves.

Table with old stairwell parts.  $290

We took parts from a stairwell and made the legs and front trim for this table.  I love seeing what I can make out of old things!

Tin fronted black cabinet—make a statement!

Chicago Cabinet with blind doors $1995

Another gorgeous example of the pieces found in old homes.  This cabinet has blind doors instead of glass on the top.

Black Harvest Table $595

Big and chunky would describe this table best!
