Old or new?

You tell me.

I dug this up in the yard--seems like milk glass and it has a thread around the top rim for a lid. It looks like a cold-cream container or something...the only identifying mark is a very faint 5 in the bottom--but if anyone just bought one of these at CVS please let me know.

I should have taken a "before" picture...

because I guess it doesn't look like much...but we spent about 7 hours on the yard yesterday.

We took out 4 carloads full of wood, garbage, and weeds. The stack of materials still there will go to the back corner into the "shack-imprint"...and then the rest can be gotten ready to plant, plant, plant!

See your face in that shine!

Yes! The stairs are done!

Am I satisfied? Never!

But anyway, I can live with them.

The obsession needs to stop.
Shiny, shiny, shiny.
And the linen cabinet has been given new (old) hinges, a new backing, doors are adjusted...and it's been painted.

Done. Now if only the weird antique store bad-air-freshener-stink would go away.

The latest rescue.

Ahhh! New hallway linen cabinet all the way from Marlboro NY.

Todd already put a new wainscot back on it to replace the rotting fiber board that was there.

Now it just needs new hinges, a door adjustment, and a bit of paint.

One day I will buy something that doesn't actually need work, but when that will be I can't say...

Finally, a place to put extra sheets and towels.

What's next...?

I really wish the hole was for another tree...But they've come to turn off all water supply to the house next door after shutting off the electric earlier this week. We're all that much closer to it being demo-ed.

And so it begins....

There's nothing like something blooming in the house to make you feel like spring might actually be coming....someday.Thank you Paul.

Now we just need to keep the cats from eating it.

It's becoming a habit.

Uhhh...dinner?Ok, just checking.
