An old board that had been outside for a long time became the inspiration for this project. The knot hole in it was epic and we thought it would made an interesting feature in a table, if only the board was live edge. 

Well, no worries! We just faked our way to a live edge using a couple of simple tools and a little time. Plus, along the way we discovered it was also fun to do!

I was late to the whole coffee drinking scene, but now that I do, I embrace the entire experience.

My first thought in the morning, "I can have coffee!"

Can anyone else relate?

Anyway, the coffee pot and accessories are about the only things I keep on the kitchen counter. The things are pushed to the back of the counter and in the morning I bring them forward to brew. 

I've been using an old corning ware tray, but now I wanted something with a little more personality which I knew I could achieve through epoxy.

This is one of those home maintenance issues that we ignore 'cause out of sight, out of mind. It's not until we look up while standing in front of the stovetop that we see the issue. 

The issue in Steph's kitchen was mold and grease!

And lots of both on the underside of the vent hood. 

​It was time to deep clean under there!
