22)Rice Crispie Treats.

We’ve created a few different counter tops this way around the house and they always turn out beautifully.This set up looks a bit like some kind of medieval torture device, but it’s really just a matter of adding a clamp (or a ratcheting strap) to each piece that needs to be held in place until the glue dries.

It looks more complicated than it is.Obviously this was Chris’ creation!.When the lower shelf was dry, we attached it in place, and then added a bit more bracing to the top to give us something to attach the skirting and the barn wood counter top to.. Then it was time for the stain!.

We used CIL Woodcare Ultra Premium in a semi-transparent color called “Traditional Walnut”.It features deep penetration for enhanced durability, mildew resistance on the stain film, and it protects against fading and UV damage as well as water damage.

CIL has a whole line up of different Woodcare products for cleaning, beautifying, and protecting outdoor wood surfaces, so make sure you read the label so you pick up the one that best suits your project and your needs!

Home Depot caries the largest selection of CIL Woodcare stains, including an exclusive range of super-premium stains: CIL Woodcare Distinction™, Canadian Wood Oil, and Fine Wood Finish all with distinct colours, features, and impressive warranties (satisfaction guaranteed for as long as you own your home!).Honestly, it’s made me feel pretty sad and hopeless at times when I’ve walked in here.

It’s just so much darkness and it feels dirty and dingy too.We thought we would just live with it until we were ready to rip everything out and start moving doors and walls and stuff, but recently it’s become clear to me that it’s just not something I can handle.

I need a quick-fix interim solution.I need to be able to enjoy this room even while I’m waiting for all of my renovation dreams to come true.
