There is a great organization in Baltimore called Second Chance. Second Chance is a huge warehouse filled with salvaged goods from homes, businesses and other outfits. They also sell furniture and just about anything you can imagine. They employ people who are desperately in need of a second chance. They help them turn their lives around.
On Friday 3 men from Second Chance came to take our old bedroom set, our living room chairs and some office furniture. I was so impressed by the three men that came to take the furniture. They were pleasant, polite and the hardest workers I have ever seen. A true testament to this organization. Give them a try!
We now have two front porches .
This is the East porch.
And...this is the West porch.
Come, sit a spell!
The lot is now graded and seeded.
The plumbers have been plumbing and the HVAC guys have been out and will start putting in
ducts and other important things next week. As you know I am a big fan of Reality TV....so, last week I was watching Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis and got a big idea. Jeff created a decorative wall using reclaimed wood. We have a little area that is too small to be called an actual room, so I have decided to make it my
rustic focal point interior foyer. Ever heard of one of these? Doubt it! Anyway I asked my new friend Josh at Freestate Timbers for some ideas and boy oh boy did he have plenty! Josh introduced me to reclaimed skins. Now don't go thinking these skins have anything to do with animals, they are taken from old beams, barns or even pickle barrels. Cool huh? The "skins" are 5/8" pieces of distressed lumber. I hope to hang them horizontally in my new RFPIF (rustic focal point interior foyer). Can't you just see it? Maybe two small chandelier sconces and a mirror over a console table. Oh please stop me I am drooling.
The RFPIF area. Don't forget those beams on the ceiling. I want them wrapped in wood, too.
When you are not busy reading this blog head over to Houzz and search for rustic wall ideas, you'll see.
Help me! My head is spinning - if you guys have any ideas please share!
Thanks for stopping by.
