Frankie and Apple

Frankie and his new friend Apple.

Old stove table

I bought this to use as a base for our kitchen table.  I changed my mind and decided to paint it red, have a piece of glass cut as an insert in the top, and use it for an end table.

I love that it is originally from Baltimore.

Wash tub file cabinet

I bought this at the Crumpton Auction.  My friend suggested it's use as a file cabinet.  

It is even on wheels!

Home is where the Army sends you.

Now that we are staying in Ellicott City, we have a directional sign to remind us of all the places we have lived.

Flat Screen TV above the fireplace mantel idea/solution

Modeled after the old fireplace mantels.  

We have our family room flat screen TV above the fireplace  instead of a mirror .  

We drilled a hole on top of the lower mantel and ran the wires down the side and out the bottom to the plug.  We also thought ahead and ran a household extention plug from the top of the new mantel all the way down to the bottom so we have an electric source at the top for Christmas decorating.  I am still thinking of painting the whole thing a nice warm color, but that will wait for another day.
