yesterday i got myself an old wooden door and took it apart. it was real weathered with rusty nails throughout so it took some doing to dismantle it. then this morning i cleaned the boards up and hung them with some L-brackets.
a carpenter i am not and i had some trouble finding the studs. wall studs, that is. so the brackets are kind of uneven and wonky. but still the project didn't turn out half bad, eh?
i have one more long board i think i'll use in my studio area and several shorter ones i'm going to hang in an as yet unknown location. total cost for the project so far is less than $30.
i also wanted to show you some of the plants i have this year. i grew some basil and tomato plants from seed and bought calendula, holy basil, chamomile, hyssop, lady's mantle, skullcap and stevia for my herb tea garden. now i just have to get it all in the ground somewhere.
