Me Musing . . . August 25, 2009

We sort of lost our momentum after I was gone the 14th, 15th, 16th for a Surface Design Class in Klamath Falls. Mornings now start about 10:00, then break for lunch and back to Cheeseville about 5:00ish so it seems like not much headway is being made!

Eb picked up the Ponderosa Pine (from his trees across the road)

which had been cut about 3 years ago, milled
and just waiting for a purpose!!!

Then he had to cut them to a more manageable size,

plane and straighten them before he could start laying the floor.

Floor Before (linoleum)

The work begins . . .
(first coat on bottom cabinets also)

Floor with boards layed-in but not nailed
(we just wanted to see what it would look like!)

Drawer painting
(they look lighter blue,
but are the same as kitchen bottom cabinets)

I walked up to get the mail today and stopped at the 'Etcetera' (used stuff) store to have a look around. I was thinking it would be nice to have a little chair for the kitchen to put below the little telephone nook. Didn't see anything in the front room, but when I walked into the next room I saw this chair that was 'home' to a bunch of dolls.

So I moved them and had a seat and fell in love with the feel of the chair. $22 and I was carrying it home!

Tonight we removed the seat as I had just the fabric for recovering it. After a liberal dose of orange oil on the wood and new colours, it's a WOW!

I love the bent wood and style.
Wires underneath hold it together
and the feel of the wood is wondrous!

When a person rubs a piece of furniture,
she puts a little fragrant wax on it
with a cotton cloth . . .
and as she does
she registers the object
'officially'
as a member of the household.

That's all for now . . .

Until soon,

Che'usa
