Took a very tired and weathered fence and restored it.

I took the time to chemical rinse the lumber before power washing to try and get mold and algae stains out. While it did a terrific job, there were just some areas that were so weathered and stained that no amount of washing could remove the stain entirely.

Some areas got so clean they turned a very light color. I was actually able to get down to bare wood for the most part.

Once the fence dried I began staining with a semi transparent cedar color. There were some inconsistencies with the color of the stain due to the state of the lumber but it is a night and day difference ✨

369 linear feet of fence is no joke to rinse, wash, and stain by yourself in 90 degree weather. To say the least, my hands feel like jelly 😂

Halloweenie photoshoot on film 🌭🐾👻🎃 We tried the ghost sheet trend but with 3 weens running around, it was very difficult to get the sheets to stay on without securing them with their collars 😅

These are just a few of my favorite shots but there are so many other gems 🧡🖤

Refurbish Project

A hand-me-down couch, chair, and ottoman set that has been in my client’s family for several generations.

They were about to dump it but instead asked me to spruce it up!

Sanding the old finish off and removing blemishes took 6 hours and 125 sheets of 60-80 grit sandpaper😳 getting between the little rails and around fine details was tedious, but the set looks better than ever - and way more modern for the current times!

Stain: Kona
Laquer: semi gloss finish

Dining room table and stools set

Made from recycled pallets and 2x4’s.

Table Dimensions: 48x21x30 inches (LXWXH)

Stool Dimensions: each varies within 1 inch in width but the general dimensions are 22x20x18 inches (LXWXH)

Stain: True Black

Laquer: satin finish

These stools took ALOT OF TIME TO BUILD. I actually surprised myself 😅 but they came out so cute and this set is going to look so cute in a small space. Can’t wait to see it in action!

Commissioned low blocks build

Dimensions: 36x20x6 inches (LXWXH)

These are lower than most low blocks, at 6 inches in height. I guess you could consider these a pair of risers. Generally used for weightlifting exercises.

Built with 2x4’s, 2x6’s, and a 3/4 inch horse stall mat.

Another mural in the workshop 🧵 🪡

I wanted a faux brick wall for those hipster city vibezzz 🧱 is getting me a custom neon sign which I think will look f**king awesome against this!

I thoroughly thought out this mural as I wanted something that looked as real as possible. I decided to use the actual dimensions of standard bricks and the standard measurement for grout lines. I taped off the wall and sponged on the paint in varied colors to give it a weathered look.

This was tedious and time consuming to say the least (8 hours to be exact) 😅 but I love it 💕
