Toilet Seats for Christmas??

Lina has always wanted a seashell resin toilet ever since she saw one in an estate sale house. I’ve always forgot about it, but she reminded me at the right time this year. I found a vintage one on ebay and Lina had a lot of questions about the package when it was delivered. I […]

Christmas 2023

Christmas 2023 started rough when the tree came crashing down and destroyed most of the ornaments and jewels; along with one of the rings. I’d been meaning to add some kind of winch system for years, but I was finally motivated to get one installed. Then the Modern Christmas Tree (https://www.modernchristmastrees.com/) people restrung the tree

PNG Shield

I found this PNG in a random auction here is Colorado and Lina won it. I built a stand out of some teak that’s been sitting in my shop for a long while. I also aged the hardware. I think it looks great! Now it needs to find it’s forever spot in the house.

Palapa 2.0

Adolphe Sylvain, Tahiti – 1946 Picture Frames

I happened across an auction for some 1946 pictures in Tahiti by Adolphe Sylvain. We won a couple of the prints and needed a frame for them. I also needed to get back into woodworking mode, so I figured this would be good practice. The plan was to use some discount teak I purchased years

Tiki Space 2022

Here’s the final post of everything we’ve done up to 2022 with some Christmas flair: This is an old project where Lina took bamboo serving trays and turned them into picture frames: As everyone already knows, the tiki work is never done. However, this is the last update for the quest! We’re looking forward to

Christmas 2022

We were home for Christmas this year and Lina decorated the house. We put up the Modern Christmas Tree. Lina decorates it from the first floor. Then I hoist it up to the second floor on a pulley. There’s a rotating disco ball and an up-light placed on the ridge over the front door. I
