add jazz

Santa, pfft, please.

I got some elves helping me at home.

This second hand, country-honey coloured table top got a walnut-flavoured update:



morning sunlight on new finish, my mom did most of the hard work



Our drawers handles were going to be reclaimed wood but turns out they were too fat. Last minute options using copper that was laying about:


took us about 30 minutes to make a few style


settled on the hefty looking "crunched pipe" option

opened this package of silicon rubber

taped off the drawer fronts, let the sugru set

We've been using the sugru-handles for our pots & pan drawers for a week now.



And although I didn't take any pictures of our progress, we got the casings from two more windows stripped over the weekend. We did it while listening to the whole Hobbit audiobook, currently available on youtube and well worth the re-read (movie we saw on Saturday, hee).
