Follow-ups on older posts

I have been wanting to take pictures to finally be able to post a house tour but the weather has been terrible and there is no sun (natural daylight) in sight.

So I decided to finally post some follow-ups on 2 older posts.

1. My cat enclosure:
My most popular post! I would have never guessed that when posting it. I thought that people would just write me off as nuts (and I'm sure some have). My father found some pictures on his computer from his visit a couple of years ago. He had taken some photos of me while I was building the cat enclosure. Yippie! So here they are, just so you know I wasn't fibbing when I said that I built it myself.

2. My DIY flush mount ceiling fixture:
I have gotten some emails and a comment request to please post how I hung the ceiling fixture/bowl.
Here is my childish drawing that I came up with since I didn't take any pictures of the contraption. (I really am trying to take more pictures during my projects but when I'm on a roll it's hard to stop and get the camera). Next time I have to change a bulb :) I'll take a view pictures too!

First you have to hold the bowl to the ceiling and draw around it on the ceiling. Then cut small wooden blocks and attach them with screws to the inside of the circle. Remember if you don't screw into a stud, you need anchors! Then hold the bowl on the ceiling again, over the wooden blocks and screw the bowl into the wooden blocks from the side. I hope that helps!


 3. Remember the paper deer head that I bought in Germany? (click here) I bought it from the German version of etsy. Well I finally put it together! Wow, what a giant paper puzzle. It's amazing how this artist came up with this paper construction! I have even more appreciation for him now!

So I'll keep working on my projects and hope for better weather.
Have a GREAT weekend fellow webbers und guten Tag!

  2. Hi Courts and thanks for coming over! I wish I'd have a photographer friend. It's so hard to take well lit photos in the house. Enjoy your spring!
