Interesting....

So here you go. Ever wonder how far your pennies go when buying a keg? Apparently, a long freakin' way...

Arrrrrrrgh!

Here we have Darth Vader modeling an eyepatch I made for a friend of ours out in LA. She had surgery to repair a detached retna and needed to wear an eyepatch. As her surgery was around halloween, I figured I'd make her a fun eyepatch to brighten her day. Mike Wazowski! 

Peekaboo!

Just a pic of my adorable kitty, peekaboo. She supports all of my projects! Especially those with knitting involved... she loves to chase yarn!  

More of a lucky find than DIY...

We didn't actually modify this particular piece in any way, but it was a damn lucky find. We got an entire 50's-ish bedroom set for $35 at this particular thrif store, and this would be the large dresser tha the mirror was removed from. It's now serving as our buffet. (not to mention home for our fondue pot and his humidor.) 

I swear we're not drunkards....

Yet we like to make things that involve drinking...

Here we have a short bookcase painted a mint green with a piece of pressed wood on top and placed in a utility closet. Ta-da! Instant bar!

Add a few tap lights (not pictured) on the two side walls, and you have a swanky area to mix drinks. :) 

Three projects in one shot!

Here you go, three of our projects in one shot. To the far right is the portable bar. A match for the coffee table, found three months apart. I will get a shot of the inside soon. I'm actually thinking of getting rid of the portable bar idea (We have yet to take it anywhere.) If I dismantle it, it will be to turn it into an ottoman for our massive armchair.

The center is a mirror that was once on top of a large dresser we picked up at a thrift shop. (Pictured elsewhere) We removed it, painted it black, and it now hangs on the wall. The shelf at the bottom is a nice place for candles and one of the surround sound speakers.

Third you have my fiance's woodburning project. He's taking your average tv trays from Wal-Mart and woodburning tiki designs on them. 

Coffee Table

This is a 1950s suitcase turned coffee table that my fiance and I made. We found the suitcase at an antique mall here in St. Louis. The suitcase matches the one we purchased in a thrift store in IL a few months earlier for our portable bar.  

Here we go...

This is my first attempt at blogger, so welcome to my site! I'm going to use this site as a showcase for my ramblings as well as the artwork and DIY projects of my fiance and myself.

The first few posts on here are going to be purely test posts, so please ignore until the bugs get worked out.
