Custom order #215 due Jan. 31st

How hard is it to make over some chairs? I've done it a hundred times! I have spent the last two days in a Edward scissor hand funk! I made two tables into one..a large task but easy..made 2 of the 4 chairs required, quickly..and finally in dismay I grabbed a chair from my dinning room and started painting it red!! The last chair is a simple sweet little old farm house chair and I don't know how much beautiful wood I've wasted because the outcome was never right in my eyes!! Seriously, a farm chair is kicking my ass! Goal: I- egg song blue round table

4 mixmatched custom repourposed chairs

All different colors!! It's going to come together...if I can just Creatively get it together!

This is one of the huge barns on site..it's so very sad to me to think, after I'm done with what I can save from this place it will all be torn done, ran over, burnt all up..these past barns were built to last..they probably still have hundreds of years left in them.
Picture
To think cattle used to run these ally's..this barn floor gave up lots of history to me..dig after dig I scored..brass cow tags, glass penicillin bottles, vintage jars, brass syringes, paper cow ear tags, and tons of old tools, and farm related goodies.

This beautiful tack room door will become a beautiful farmhouse table or harvest table.

Each board nailed in place with dagger like nails..I never tire imagining up who these men were, what they looked like, and wonder how strong and mighty they must have looked like..and I'm sure not one of them thought what they achieved in finishing this barn was anything but ordinary.
 

Went on site to new barn location..in Royce City..it was so cold today that even tho I had gloves on, each hit I made to that old barn wood with my hammer, felt like my fingers were going to break off. Not the kind of cold you can shake off or blow warm air into your hands and make better..I had to stop every thirty minutes or so and turn the heater on in my truck and fight back hurling explicits out the window if only to the old barn walls and not quit. These nails are just as long as all the other rusty ones I pull off old barns, but with it being so cold it took twice as long and I felt one board took an hour to pry off...

Hauld in a large truck bed full of pickins from one of my Caddo Houses, this afternoon. A very large ornate 3 mirror doored medicine cabinet! 3 excellent shape London Fog vintage trench coats,a nice football letterman CM jacket, vintage flannel, and little odds and ins. Going back tomorrow for a leather love seat...

I finally finished the vintage wooden baby crib I turned into a bench for a client.

Long day but lots of productiveness.
