This weekend was absolutely gorgeous. We were able to take advantage of the nice weather and kick off our Saturday morning with our Farmers Market, coffee, and bakery routine. We do this nearly every Saturday…and have become quite good at it.

Heavily caffeinated and ready to rock, Jess and I decided to clean out the garage. We have slowly been replacing all the bland flat honey oak interior doors with nice six-panel white doors (to match the baseboard). The place is really starting to look nice. (See before and after pictures below)

Whenever possible we try to donate our old/original home improvement items to a place called ReStore, run by the Habitat for Humanity people. They use donated household fixtures, flooring, tile, switches, cabinets, etc. to build houses for their cause. Items they can’t use in building projects, are sold at a reduced rate at their store location. Its a great program and a worthy cause. And with all the work we have done to our place, we are certainly keeping them busy with materials.

However, this trip they were already overstocked in the hollow core oak door department. As not to be wasteful in throwing them away or burning them, we brought the 7 doors down to the city recycling plant to be shredded and used for mulch around the city of Madison.

From a tree they began…’around’ a tree they shall remain.

Have a fabulous week!
