1936 vanity mirror restoration done, complete with Before and After pics. I'm not about to let a little thing like getting run over by a truck be the end of a classic. Next stop: master bathroom above the sink #wiscolinahouse #vanitymirror #antique #restoredfurniture #repurposed #oldisnotadefect #phoenixfromtheashes #girlwithahammer (at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin)

The #gopherwar is neverending! The little bastards are brazen. Luckily I work across the street from a great place to source used #chickenwire on my lunch breaks, to line the bottom of our raised beds, for very little $. Also, why is that shit so expensive brand new?? #garden #gardening #gopherproof #building #diy #girlwithahammer #handy #raisedbeds

The antique vanity mirror's front decorative piece is now in ICU. Administering round the clock wood glue and clamps, followed by stainable filler and sanding if patient remains stable. #vanitymirror #restoredfurniture #wiscolinahouse #phoenixfromtheashes #girlwithahammer (at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin)

Last coat of stain on the hutch base. Offspring has been warned upon pain of death not to touch! Books already added to shelves and drawers because patience is not one of my virtues. #wiscolinahouse #oldisnotadefect #repurposedfurniture #hutchredo #bookcase #thriftstorefinds #girlwithahammer #homelibrary (at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin)

First coat of stain on the base cabinet. Left side shelves will be covered by a solid door but the paint on that piece is still curing. #girlwithahammer #wiscolinahouse #thriftstorefinds #trashtotreasure #diy #stainedwood #repurposedfurniture (at Fond du Lac, Wisconsin)
