Weathered Gray Oak Ladder

I hope you fellow Americans had a Happy 4th of July!! Okay, I need help. For the last 8 years, I have lost 10 lbs and then grained 10 lbs, over and over thru out the year. It's not a big deal to most people, because I never get too heavy. But it's demoralizing and driving me crazy! I am so tired of wearing my fat pants, then skinny, then fat agin. I don't really think it's my workout. I love to workout, so whenever my back is up to it, I workout. That means it is most likely food, ahem,... ice cream. Does anyone have any tips? I would love to hear them.

Rustic Modern Cherry Fireplace

The metal frame for this gorgeous fireplace was custom fabricated, but I can tell you how to get this incredible color! This fireplace was made from the hardwood, cherry. You can use cherry for anything from hardwood floors, to furniture, to accent pieces like this. It was more commonly used several decades ago, so this post would be great for your old hardwood floors.
