Adding Color When the Flowers Fade
Cool weather comes early in Minnesota. Most of my garden is gone already. the only things that remain in bloom are the marigolds and the seedum.
It won't be long before the only color here will be the painted spindles on my wheelchair ramp.
The last time I painted this the birds were bluebirds and the flowers were daisies.
This time my goal was to make it as brightly colored as possible so I'll have a nicer view out the window when the snow flies.

Creative Design and Re-purposing Solutions for the Dining Room
As you can see the little stand that I've got this toaster oven on is not an ideal solution so I grabbed a pencil and a yardstick determined to find a solution.
I've had my eye on the small vented door in this old kit built cabinet and decided to include it in my design because it's the perfect size for a breadbox.
Here's the design that I came up with to make better use of that space under the toaster oven. You'll have to admit that having the breadbox under the toaster is bound to come in handy.
This old kit build is starting to get wobbly, the cams are popping out and the shelf is sagging so we've decided to salvage the solid pieces, doors and drawers and incorporate them into a built in wall to increase our storage space and improve the look of the room.
