Sept 2012 wood work and other things

Okay, so I am starting in september to see if I can at least blog weekly since it has been two years since I posted last.... This summer I have decided I am going to refinish everything in sight!!! haha I first started in the bathroom, sanding the door, the door frame, the towel holders, they turned out gorgeous....Brad took about an inch off the bottom of the door due to damage. Bought new door knob and polyurethaned all the wood I sanded. Stain finish used was cherry finish. I also painted the vanity and Brad and I painted the bathroom a lovely shade of lavender. Next year we are hoping to finally replace the tub. Perhaps the surround and floor as well. Next project was the extensions for the dining table, they gave me a bit of grief once I got to the polyurethane but I won that battle. Now on to the chairs.......but first. I saw the small foldable wooden chair on the deck and it seemed like a small project, It sanded down fairly easy, I used a dark walnut stain and the spar urethane for finishing the wood, I took the fabric off of it and sprayed it with bleach and washed in the washer and hung it to dry, It came fairly clean and got it all back together in about a week time. I sanded down the cabinet I am using for my pots and potting materials, my plan is to stain and put an outdoor finish on it and tile the top. I had alot of sanding to do as it was pretty weather beaten. I used cherry finish on it and finished the grouting on the tile today!! Going to put one more coat of the spar urethane for outdoor items on the front doors. I finished this pretty much today!!!! yea for me. My newest project is the master bedroom door, It had never been finished so sanding it was real easy. I then used sanding sealer or pretreater for wood before staining. Brad also cut a bit off the bottom and fixed a small blemish toward the bottom corner. We bought new door knob for this door also and new hinges since the ones removed were a shiny gold finish. I stained the door last night and tomorrow I will put the polyurethane on it. I used cherry finish once more and should have this completed and hung by this weekend. We had to order a new heater for our waterbed before fall as it is getting chilly to sleep on it. It arrived yesterday and Brad had the bed 90percent drained when I got home from work. So I got to clean up all the framing and the mattress and liner, vacuum it out and then Brad installed the new heater. We filled the mattress back up and it is already heating well today. I am going to sand and stain the master bedroom doorway this weekend and then on to another door.......... MOST of the above woodwork was done from mid July through today. We went camping at Waldport area a couple of weekends ago and stayed at the KOA there. Nice time, just a bit of rain. Will write more next week. Anna
