Restoring a Classic Federal Style Dinning Table

An old table gets a new lease on life is made brand new again.


   This is out of the archives of work that I've done for customers. But seeing how I've been doing so many restorations I figured, why not?
  You get an old table that has been soaked by a flood. Dookied on by bats. Heated and dried by extreme summer temperatures. Cooled and dampened by winter dreary and gloom. Then, and only then is it a perfect candidate for restoration.

Chicago Town

  
Taking some time to travel and see what the middle part (ish) of the country is doing and thinking; Chicago was a welcome change of scene.
    Seeing the difference in buildings and attitude pulls one out of the everyday and gets you to see and interact with the destination. Maybe it was just the stupid grin on my face as I wandered between the hotel, art museum and the Miracle Mile but I never get Hey's, Hi's, or Hello there's in other cities, just C-town. Impressive. What was also impressive was the city: there are so many other pictures; so please, click though to see them with details and comments.

Studio Workspace Renovation

FilliQuist is MOVING!!!
Thanks to a stroke of luck, a building on the farm where we currently reside has become available. Filliquist Studio has struck while the iron is hot and decided to move in. Below are some pictures of the space before renovation. I hope there are hardwood floors under that carpet!!

It's a bit messy in its raw state

Plenty of natural light!!

Yea! My favorite source of heat!!
And a VIEW!!


Harvest Season

The time has come to gather fruit here at Pine Knoll. The hay has been cut. The firewood has been stacked. The berrys have been picked. The pears have been plucked. Now all that is left are the apples. If we can keep Jake (the German Shepherd) from eating them.....

Just the begining.....

The Pine Knoll Office Desk


  Taxes, bills, reports, research, paperwork- no matter what you call it chances are you don't really want to be doing it. Either way,  it has to be dealt with.  Preferably in an office. Usually in that office is some semblance of a desk. Whether it was made from an old door and some cinder blocks in college or a cheap pressed chip board with printed wood graphics from some office supply store or Costco chances are you didn't like sitting at your desk in your office. This desk solves that problem and gives a little more...after the jump.....
