April Spicer, Marysville, describes her new furniture refurbishing business as a fairly new adventure.

It all started when she and her husband, Curtis Spicer, added onto and remodeled their home in east Marysville.

We had more space and needed more furniture to fill it, she said. We had a dining room table given to us, which was Curtis great-grandparents.

The dining room set was a light oak with ornate turned legs, but the color was not to Aprils liking and did not fit her style.

Both April and Curtis are both big DIYers (Do It Yourselfers) and have enjoyed designing, building and decorating their house during the remodel project.

So I thought I can do this, she said. I sanded the varnish off and stained the bare wood a dark espresso color.

She sent the table legs to Eubanks Custom Cabinet in Holton, which did their kitchen cabinetry, to use the same cream-colored paint and glaze to match the cabinets.

I am really pleased with the end result and was amazed at the transformation a piece of furniture can go through with just paint and stain, she said. It went from my not wanting it in my home to really, really liking it.

Aprils next project was the dining room wainscoting. For the kitchen and dining room, she went for a Tuscan/Old World look. Around the apron sink she chose an olive green paint color and for the walls a burnt orange color called Native Pottery.

With their open floor plan she wanted the dining room to be tied in with the kitchen, so Curtis built wainscoting around the dining room, and April painted it the same olive green with a dark translucent glaze.

Home remodeling leads to furniture-refurbishing business

HDR Remodeling, a home remodeling contractor in the East Bay, is congratulating its production manager, Brian McRae, for being chosen to supervise the installation of the light sculpture at the Bay Bridge.

Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) November 21, 2012

"We are very proud of Brian for having been selected to lead the installation of this exciting addition to the San Francisco cityscape," Jim Tibbs, the vice president and creative director of HDR Remodeling, said.

McRae was selected for the special assignment because of his strong project and people management skills. He will return to the company after the Bay Lights installation is completed.

Using 25,000 energy-efficient, white LED lights, the display is 500-feet high and 1.8-miles wide, and will shine from dusk to midnight for two years. The sheer size of the project will ensure that it is visible from San Francisco, but it will not be visible to drivers along the bridge. The power used by the light bulbs will be offset by solar credits for the least environmental impact, and only $11,000 per year is allocated to energy costs. It is expected to add approximately $97 million dollars to the local economy.

Artist Leo Villarreal will use patterns of weather, the water, and the traffic of cars, ships and wildlife as inspiration for creating his software algorithms. The patterns will never repeat.

Recorded for our records so we can call them and ask for a bid if we buy a house. What you are watching is what it looks like to be me in your passive aggressive world. My name is Jeffhfromoxford, but I don #39;t live in Oxford, Ohio, anymore. What you are watching is one of the thousands of videos from my YouTube documentary project, which currently has over 4000 videos, all of which I created from video-recording the world around me. As of 11/12/12, I have 200000 video views. Thanks! Generally, as far as critical and angry comments, I don #39;t care what you think about me or my videos. If the subject of the video or another comment interests you, feel free to add comments. I have all of the videos set to allow me to moderate comments. I don #39;t censor or editorialize with your comments. People are going to think what they think, and I #39;m not about telling people what to do or how to think. I do, however, delete and ban haters and rude/obscene people. Be nice, pretend your family will find out and read your comments. I #39;m not perfect, either, I get mad at times, but try to say something nice. I #39;m probably older than you, maybe old enough to be your father, or at least, an interesting older uncle, who dresses well and carries himself with some dignity. At times, at least. Try to leave semi-civil comments for my videos. I don #39;t like rudeness, outrage, and anger, and I don #39;t like to be around it.From:JeffHfromoxfordViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:10More inEntertainment
