Hi Barb, Well I am definitely going to try your painting technique on this new piece I am completing. I'll post a picture of it so you can see my results. I have designed most of my pieces myself or copied a picture and figured out what dimensions I wanted and gone from there. It really is not that hard. On most pieces you basically start with a box believe it or not. I put dado's in for my shelves and do rabbits on the back to finish off the back but you don't have to do that just nail and glue it together. I also try to work with wood that is furniture grade, which means it is specially dried to make furniture out of. And my wood is rough cut, I square it and plane it myself so there is alot of work involved. If I am making a small piece I just go and get rough pine at the lumber company it is really cheap and works well for small pieces but you have to work within a couple of days or it tends to warp because it isn't dried enough. I don't know if you have a Lowes Hardware in your city, but their clean cut pine isn't badly priced at all. That where I got the wood to build the two shelves I just finished. I was in a hurry to get them done!!! I'd be happy to help you in anyway I can, just ask me and if I don't know I will find out!!

Hi Barb, Thanks for your painting technique. By the way it's nice to meet you. One question, what kind of candle do you do? just a plain old taper. I suppose that must help the paint to pop off to give it that worn look. In answer to your question, no I didn't make all of my furniture only the pieces I mentioned. I purchased some of it and as you know it's quite expensive, at least it is where I live. I just kept looking at those pieces and said I know I can do this so I enrolled in some woodworking classes and learned how to use tools and voila I can make furniture now. I still have a lot to learn, but I come from a family of woodworkers so it comes very easy to me. (must be in the genes hee hee!!!) The only part I have is trying to get a nice old look finish. I usually start out with a coat of black or darkstain then I paint my top color sand it and then antique it or use this brown briewax like paste wax. That stuff I end up really gooping it on. I don't do very good at all. I don't like painting to begin with. But oh how I love to build pieces. I am in the process of completing a dish rack for my kitchen wall. Got the idea from one of the other gals on site and had to have one!! She has a couple of other pieces I liked and so I am going to do a little modification and add those to my home, I have projects to keep me busy all winter. What state do you live in? I'm in Maine.

Hi Barb, just wanted to introduce myself and let you know that I have gotten so many ideas from all your great ideas. I saw the prairie cakes you have in your pantry and was so inspired that I had to make some of my own. I used the recipe that you gave to Linda. I love the fact that you take things you find and turn them into something wonderful. Have a great day! ~pam
