Some of our projects

  Weather gets nice and the Henderson Hacienda gets busy!
  So far we've : 

   Converted an old garden rack into a bulk pantry shelf and converted an old half pallet into a rotating can good holder! Simply put a back on the half pallet, altered the bottom and attached to the rack. We will use this in the garage. Going to put air tight totes on the shelves to hold flour,sugar, potatoes etc. I freeze my flour and sugar before storage to decrease the chance of it developing bugs etc. In the can good section we will probably do just corn on one side and another veggie (probably can beans..not sure yet) on the other. Items used in higher amounts in winter once we run out of freezer corn etc.

  Steve turned an old shelf into an awesome storage shelf that he hung above my sink by the seed rack (picture to be added). He simply painted it white then green then drug it over gravel etc to distress it. Came out awesome. Another heart warming plus? He put my Granny's/Great grandma's canning etc utensils on the rack. Have been wanting to display them just didn't know how!! Top row first two items are can grabbers and the last item is an OLD masher for potatoes etc. On the bottom shelf is an old fashion cup that you use to drain tomato juice etc into your canning jars. The other decorative stuff is odd and ends we had. The dried flower is butterfly bush from our flower beds.
   Bottom picture is the 30ish foot flower bed we are installing. We had the old bucket, Kaya and I picked out the purple flowers, we transplanted some already had flowers/butterfly bushes....and planted a smoke tree and 60 gladiola bulbs :) Busy day on that project but we had fun. We have about 20 ft to mulch and then we will edge it..and it's done :)  We also caught two awesome bushes on the 50% off rack and planted them beside the house. Steve is remarkable with being able to save plants others would toss!!
