More "treasures"

Since the farm is on idle waiting for the ground to dry out I have been working on a few of my "to do" list. First I made the bench from barnwood from here on the farm and some hickory post that I had left over from an arbor I made.(free-be) I finished this cabinet that I had started over the winter, made from and old window my friend the contractor gave me. (best friend to have someone who does demolition). These 2 pieces will be sold at the primithive shop at a big sale we have coming up. Hopefully we will be online by then.

Next is a fountain on my front porch. I took an old water cooler, filled it with rocks added a Bambo fountain(available at the the primitive shop if you would like more info leave comment).On the back porch I have an old chair(free-be)and a barn wood bench that I made initially to put in the house, but it just became someplace else for eveybody to pile things, so I moved it to the porch. If you notice, Pebbles (under the bench) has claimed it as her post. She is either sitting on it or laying under it. In the bottom left of the bench you can see a birdhouse my daughter made. I cut the wood, but she put it together. Looks like she maybe following me on my treasure hunts.

Now you know that you put the chair and table there for Pebbles right? Just ask her!! :)
You really have a gift! Love the bench ( first pic). Very rustic. And the water cooler, now that is very cool! :)
Looking forward to seeing more freebie treasures.

AJ-Oaks,Well since Pebbles is 19 she has earned her place. If I didn't give it too her she would just take it anyway. LOL I always have my eye open and love when someone pulls up and says, "Can you use this?"

I am amazed at your carpentry skills. I wouldn't be able to make a bench that would actually be useable. It would be a rocking bench.

Teresa, Each time I build something it is just from an idea in my head. I learn from trial and error. I just went out and bought a couple of different saws and some other tools and just started putting things together.
