Proper Maintenance for Outdoor Wood Furniture

Wooden furniture can last for centuries as long as it is properly maintained. Pieces that are neglected, however, tend to wear out and decay with time. The forces of nature can speed such processes along, making regular maintenance and care all the more important. This is especially true when placing wooden furniture outside. The outdoors provides plenty of dangers to furniture, from moisture,…

Crafting Amish Woodworking: Crafting a Bookshelf That Lasts Generations

In the world of fine woodworking, where tradition meets timeless craftsmanship, the Amish artisans stand as revered masters of their craft. Their dedication to creating pieces that not only bear witness to the passage of time but also endure for generations is nothing short of remarkable. One such testament to their unparalleled skill is the Amish furniture bookcase. These bookshelves are more than just functional pieces of furniture; they are meticulously crafted works of art designed to grace homes with their beauty and serve as repositories of knowledge for years to come.

So we have had Pippin, Sir Peregrin Montgomery Scott Took the Third, for, iirc 7 weeks. He was rescued from an Amish farm, and had never been allowed inside (or shown love) until his foster. Even after six weeks with them, he had not figured out dog beds or furniture. This was him a few days after we brought him home. Still no understanding.

And this? This is him now, having graduated from beds all the way up to chilling out in his now favorite place: a recliner. He has recognized that the soft places are for him, too. It makes me so happy.

TBD?

8/14/24 WIP Wednesday (Closed) | TBD AU (6/15)

The rest of the night is spent eating pizza, looking for a good painter on Google, and contemplating furniture for his dining room. He has no interest in having a large dining room table since it seemed like a waste of the space. Andrew didn’t have enough people in his life to fill a dining table.

“We’ll get one that you can expand or shrink.” Katelyn insists, pointing out a dining table with various leaves included, “Look, you can even store the leaves in the table, isn’t that nice? The Amish always make the best stuff.” 

Andrew eats another slice.

If the Shire was plopped into the modern era hobbit holes and all, what do you think they'd do when they saw and experienced all the modern art and furniture of our era? How would hobbits adapt to furniture from styles like Bauhaus and mid century modern to the Scandinavian modernism designs of Ikea? Cause all of it was made without traditional woodworking attached, granted, but the main motive for a lot of the interior design and furniture in modern styles is the 'optimal' or most efficient levels of convenience and comfort- and hobbits *are* big fans of both soo... it's not like it's a rigged game here. and let's be real, the food court mid-Ikea might warm them up to their aesthetic after all~~ 👀😇

💐 ASK ME about my headcanons about hobbits and the Shire! 💐

Wow, I love how your brain works, anon! (Some of the asks I've been getting are seriously so creative, I can't even...)

As for me, I am of two minds about this issue. Comfort, you see, is not just physical comfort, but also that which is familiar, that which is "home." In the case of hobbits, they likely value both, and are generally averse to all things new and unfamiliar.

As such, I believe that at first they would be quite put off by the sharp angles and the straight lines of midcentury modern and other similar styles, and if they had a choice, they would gravitate towards traditional Amish-made furniture and anything that you might find in an antique store.

However, the key word is at first. Once you trick them or bribe them into sitting in an Eames chair, for instance, they'll realize that it feels like curling up in the palm of a hand designed specifically to cradle you, and they'll be one hundred percent sold. And let's not forget the hygge aesthetic, which is all about warm light, soft palettes, and lots of warm, huggable pillows. Hygge and hobbit, I think, are concepts that go hand in hand!

Winds of Change

I think I've had about all I can take from the ol' Denton library. I have poured myself into this job and, quite frankly, it's sucking the life right out of me. Without going into detail, I'm just going to say that I gave it six months and 100% of my effort only to understand why they have such a high turnover rate. C'est la vie. I'll let you know when my departure is final, you'll probably notice an increase in nonsense on this blog. With that out of the way, let me tell you about my latest treasure. I've mentioned the auction house just up the street from us, and that every Monday night there's an auction. It's usually estate sales, and can be either loads of junk or some really lovely finds. Last week it was about fifty-fifty. BUT, there was an item there that I really wanted and because I am cheap frugal I decided to set my maximum bid at $15. I know, I know, Diamond Jim, right? The whole point of an auction (for me) is to get something for practically nothing. On Monday night I was watching my piece like a hawk, hoping no one else displayed interest. I ended up bidding against just one other person and winning THIS for just $7.75!!

Isn't she gorgeous?? I'll put her in my craft room because I can always use more storage and those shelves are perfect for my art books. I felt like I hit lotto when I won for less than ten bucks! Of course, we all know that I'm about to spend thirty bucks on paint and foo-foo stuff to turn her into a show girl. Right now I'm thinking Irish Garden (left) and Peony (right) because I'm a girly-girl and proud of it.

Maybe a shade or two deeper than the Irish Garden, but I haven't made up my mind yet. I have to take into consideration the wall color (might be a bit too close to Irish Garden) and the furniture and décor already there. Any way you slice it, I'm going to have fun with this. I mean, look at these drawer pulls. Just take my money already!

In other delightful news, my Zepherine Drouhin climbing rose is climbing and blooming!

She's a beauty! I'm so excited. When she arrived she was just a stick with a couple of scraggly roots. Look at her go! That pic was snapped while I was spraying neem oil to keep the hungry bugs away. Why do bugs love roses so much? I'm happy to share bits and pieces of my gardens with insects, but they go after roses like piranhas. Everything else is chugging along just fine - zinnias and sunflowers are going to make the east side of the house glorious in a couple of weeks. Some of the zinnias are already blooming, it'll take the sunflowers quite a bit longer. The German Pink tomato plant that I picked up in Pennsylvania at an Amish market is thriving. It's got lots of blooms and each one promises a juicy fruit. Crossing my fingers. The kitchen herbs are all in good shape. As usual, the basil is practically a shrub. The dill is full, the rosemary is coming right along now that I moved her, and there's parsley in a pot out front. All of the various blooms and ferns are happy and healthy. It looks and feels like summer. We're going to have the full Strawberry Moon (it'll be hanging low in the sky) and the summer solstice at the same time. That's reason for my witchy heart to celebrate. Time to play my favorite song!

I loved that song in the 70's when King Harvest released it (I think I was 10), and loved it even more in the 2009 when Toploader cut their version. Know what's sad? I heard it the playing a couple of days ago in a commercial for retina medicine. I'm old. Time for me to head upstairs and soak in the tub. Tomorrow is a work day and I swear if anyone looks at me cross-eyed I'm outta' there. There's one coworker, someone I have to work closely with a lot, who is always in some sort of emotional turmoil and can't work. Normally I'd be very compassionate for anyone going through a tough time- but hers are self-inflicted and/or manufactured. It's exhausting. She's also a gossip and I don't like being put in the uncomfortable position of receiving another's private info that she shouldn't be telling me. Even worse, she's management so I can't complain to management. Not that I would, I'm an advocate of putting on my happy face and just getting the job done. It does make for long days, though. There are some truly lovely people who work there, but I do understand why so many have left. Ugh. Taking it a day at a time. That's why I'm going upstairs to soak in the tub and relax, to brace myself for whatever is coming my way tomorrow. It's always something - an OD, a coworker having a meltdown, something disgusting in the book drop, or just spicy patrons. A half hour in some hot water with a bath bomb recharges my batteries. I probably need these earrings too.

Anywho, I'll be reading in bed, covered up in cats, by the time the mister comes up. I think my reading material makes him nervous. This week's selections...

He probably sleeps with one eye open. Good night, my darlings. I hope that your days are happy and your nights restful. I hope that if things are topsy-turvy or stressful that they settle soon. And trust me, they will. Something that I tell myself about my less than satisfying life right now is that this is just a chapter, not my whole story. It ends, and something new begins. Always. Sending out lots of love tonight. Take what you need. Stay safe, stay well. XOXO, Nancy
