” valentines are.
Chris found these behind the garage when he was landscaping back there.He just stacked them up neatly until we decide what to do with them.. We think they must have dumped them back there when they were tearing out the wall between the original house and the master bedroom addition.. Any great ideas out there for what to do with it?So, blog-worthy things happen around here pretty much ten times a day, but time to actually document and share them… not so much.
Anyway, here’s one thing!.That’s original hardwood there.. Isn’t that kinda the dream?You buy the big old country house in need of love, pull back some of the ugly and find tons of original beauty waiting for you to unleash it!.
But how to get rid of all that glue from the peel ‘n stick tile?.The varnish has yellowed like crazy, so I don’t mind that some of the cleaners I’ve been trying have been taking off some of the top coat.
We’ll be sanding and staining again anyway.. And then we started ripping out walls.. Our master bedroom is an addition so behind the entrance wall is the original brick exterior wall.
Well, how cool would that be to expose it and get to see that everyday?.I’ve actually tried different versions of this idea a few times, but they’ve never worked.
Not this time though, this one actually works!.We started out with a basic air-dry clay recipe.
I used a cornstarch based one and it worked like a charm!.1/2 cup cornstarch.
