A Splash of Color

A Splash of Color


July 4th weekend was chock full of projects at the Heidmann hacienda. First thing on the agenda was a long awaited renovation of our dining room table. It was badly in need of refinishing, and as I had just given my honey an electric sander for Father’s Day, he decided to try it out.

Once the sanding was done and he had painted the legs black, though, it became a family project. All the kids got to help decorate the top with some cans of spray paint. It was mad fun out in the driveway, and the end result was a unique addition to our home decor.

Later in the weekend, Paul built a raised planter to fit in the narrow space between our shed and covered patio, where he then planted a couple of rosemary bushes and a lime tree. He sure does work hard in his “time off”!
