Putting the finishing stain on the Walnut!

The stairs are almost built, then just the finishing touches. We are in the homestretch!

The alternating stairs in progress.

Josh used and Eco Treatment to seal and stain the Port Orford Cedar Siding. 

After many hours of hard work Josh has finished the siding new siding! 

We needed more storage in the kitchen so we added a few shelves using black brackets and wood planks.

Josh took a jackhammer to the concrete that was the foundation for the stairs we removed.

Apologies for the radio silence here. We brought home Luella and have been busy, busy, busy! We have managed to do a few things on the house but it is definitely harder to find the time. One of our recent projects was the walnut window sill in the bedroom. We bought a gorgeous piece of Black Walnut and Josh cut it to size, sanded and oiled it. We love how it turned out.

Bringing our little Luella home for the first time on August 2, 2011.
