Project #3 Complete

Sand. Varnish. Sand. Varnish. Sand. Varnish. It takes a while, but now it's done and we've got our very own butt-wiping station. As usual, my perfectionist hubby complained the entire time he was building it that it was hideous and plagued with flaws. He's still complaining a little, but was a bit more complimentary of his work last night when it was all done. We both came to the conclusion that we really like birch. It is so pretty when it's got just a clear varnish on it … almost iridescent (if wood can be so) and the grain is beautiful.

While we varnished, I watched like 8 eps of Martha and Rachael Ray (in about 3.5 hours). Even after all my love-spats with Tivo last year, I really do love it!! It is so handy for fast-forwarding through those commercials and the obnoxious segments where Martha shares all of her 8281763 beauty products with the audience and Rachael Ray has a schmaltz fest with err… whomever.
