Holidays and big events always seem to get here sooner than you think they will,
or at least they do for me.
I had so many ideas for projects for July 4th.
These barnwood and beadboard flags are finished up just in time.
This project was my favorite part of the construction of the cabin.
Building the kitchen cabinets from salvaged barnwood!
A quick story on the barnwood.
The wood was milled right up the road from us by a neighbors dad.
It was used to build one of his barns in the mid 1900s.
His dad passed away a couple of years ago, well into his 90s.
The barn was starting to collapse and our sweet neighbor asked us if we wanted the wood.
Are you kidding me? Of course we wanted it!
There was only one catch, we had to take the barn apart piece by piece and denail the wood.
What a wonderful blessing for us and it keeps his dads barn living on.
