A little bit of this, a little bit of that

Hello friends! I apologize for not posting for a while. We have not done a ton of work on the house lately. We are mostly just taking care of small things here and there.

We did finish up the deck and have had some really fun BBQs with friends and family. Let me know if you want to come and check it out, we take beer as payment!

I love the design of our deck. It is perfect for a small urban backyard. We built in the benches to provide plenty of seating space while maintaining as much of the deck surface space as possible. I also bought this handmade table off of Craigslist and it is HUGE! We can comfortably fit about 6-8 people around the table at a time.

I fancied up the table by cleaning scrubbing it with a brush and the following cleaner.

From there, I was able to stain and seal it at the same time by using this other awesome BEHR product.

The final look is a fun green color and it will allow the table to stay nice looking for a long time to come. 

Anther project that we tackled was putting up bead board in the kitchen. Here is the finished product.

We decided to use real wood bead board and not anything that was particle or composite board. The real wood is definitely more expensive and needs to be primed and painted, but it is also much better quality and durability. We are very happy with the way that it turned out, it adds a ton of personality to the room.

We have a lot of projects to tackle this spring and summer so stay tuned for more updates. Thanks all and happy spring!

Cheers,
