This was just a plain square stool.

dining room archives.I was not paid to write this post, however Birch Lane did provide me with the rug and the pillow covers for this dining room project free of charge.

My opinions about how splendidly fantastic the room turned out are all mine!Here I am with another one of Chris’ clever DIY tricks!I caught him doing this one the other day when he was laying the floor tiles in the bathroom and I just had to share it.I never would have thought to do it like this, but it works.

Start out by measuring the diameter of the curve that you’ll be needing and cut out a triangular notch that’s the length of the diameter at the base of the triangle (on the edge of the tile) and half that length high.This is for a half-circle type of curve, which will be probably the most common curved cut you’ll need because every bathroom needs a toilet!.

Next, either use a grade school style compass, or just find a round object about the size of your hole and trace out a circle that touches all three points of your triangle.

A pot lid will probably work great!Link is directly to her post about camp food.

She has a ton of great ideas if you’re just a smidge more ambitious about your camp food than I am!.So that’s pretty much how we managed to do very little cooking while we were camping, but ate like kings!

Best of all, my food borne illness paranoia that usually forces me into town to eat at restaurants, or to live off of stale muffins really didn’t have a chance to show up at all!.Oh, our poor neglected garden.Between camping trips, soccer games, baseball games and life, we just haven’t had the time to dedicate to it this year.
