Last Monday, we were home in Illinois and had a different kind of work day than normal. My brother works for a family in our home church. They build primitive furniture and take it to craft shows and also sell wholesale. They have quite the production! I must say it is nice to start the work day at 10:30! ... Aaaannnndddd...take a swim break halfway through! Although some people (who shall remain unnamed) enjoy terrorizing dunking people more than they enjoy swimming!
The Chapman's house-so pretty! |
Their garage, where it all happens. Brad Chapman designs and builds the furniture, then others paint, sand and stain it til it looks like something that has been around for a hundred years! |
This is the piece I painted. you roughly brush on dark paint. That will show through a little after it is sanded later on |
This is it after being painted. It will be sanded after this and then stained with wood stain. |
Rebekah and Angie |
Brother dear |
Ruth did some sewing...her specialty |
I painted...my specialty |
Addy and I. She had the "football" stripes under her eyes too, but I think her grandma was worried the toxins from the paint would leak into her skin! :) |
Cute little sheep Luann Chapman makes. I may steal some of her ideas! :) |
