Hello from windy windy Nevada!

We've been home the last few days just working around here and on the bunkhouse.  I had the vanity to work on.  When we were remodeling the bathroom we took the oak vanity out and almost had it ready for the dump.  Then we got to thinking and thought we could paint it and put a tin top on it and it would work perfect in the bunkhouse for the tv and the kids xbox and stuff.  So yesterday was the day to get started on it.  What a disaster that thing was.  Trying to shabby it up, it looked like a kindergartner painted it and it was just plain ugly!  So bad I didn't even take a picture of it!

Shabby..on purpose..ha

So today was another day, and the end result is much better.  Not really what we had in mind (not even sure what that was at this point)..but it'll work!  

Ken got the rest of the wood up where the loft meets the wall and then he talked me into setting up the bed frame so we know what size plywood we need to plan for.  Looks really good I have to say.

Next project for me is to paint the inside of our hoosier cabinet we bought last year, just to freshen it up..was cute when I opened the top drawer there was a gun...must have been the last time the grandkids were here..  :)  I think I know a few boys that will be happy the bunkhouse is done when some are here Thanksgiving week.  

We did finally get a few of our old things up on the back porch today.  It was so windy that we had to lay the rocking chairs down so they don't go flying off the porch.
