Super Cute Step Stools

My husband's grandpa made these super sturdy solid oak step stools.  I made them even better by engraving this cute saying on them.  It's engraven into the wood so it won't rub off or wear out.  These are the only three I have left from a craft sale earlier this fall.  Let me know if you want to purchase one. 
$13 each.

One More Thing...

I am not very blog savy, and I don't want to email everyone every time I update my blog. But if you would like to get updates, please let me know and I will send them to you via email... unless there's a better way to do this and I am clueless? 

My New (To Me) Table

A year ago or so my husband and I were talking about putting a small bar in our kitchen where the laptop could sit and the kids could play computer games. There was some discussion about what we wanted it to look like and, long story short, we decided on metal. Tin, to be more precise. I wanted something really rustic with nail heads and scratches and dents showing and adding character. Well, we also needed a new table. The one we had we bought 12 years ago when we got married. At a garage sale. For 20 dollars. It was pretty sad. But I didn't want a big formal table. That just isn't me. So, we decided to take the same idea we had for the bar and do a table to match.

So, with a free table from Dave's grandma's house and some tin from a roofing supplier, Dave made me this amazing piece of art. I LOVE IT!!! He painted the legs and even picked out the paint himself. He did awesome. I love that he will just take my crazy ideas and bring them to life.
