My father-in-law had the idea to make a counter by the stovetop. I decided to add some architectural details to the piece. I hadn’t been able to get anywhere to shop for old spindles so new had to do. I did my best to make them distressed. My husband was less than impressed.
“I’m going to give you a nice shiny new kitchen and you are going to beat up these spindles.”
Hey man, you knew what you were getting when you married me.
I stained them with Antique Walnut, painted them the white of my trim, then sanded them to my liking. He rigged up the peg system himself to install and it works pretty dang well.
I’ll leave you today with a picture of butcher block. Because I love it.
Catch ya later. Next up is photos of mud, mud, and more mud. Because we love our plaster walls and are treating them with the respect they deserve. Even though it’s probably the worst job of the whole deal.
My husband is the best.
Blessings!
