After finishing my upcycled wood pallet, I brought home another pallet and found a place for a rooster watercolor from Laurie. Mike was also beginning a larger project in the backyard.
Another pallet, without a plan yet
I stopped at Lowe’s to look for another pallet. Several were available that day, but I brought home one and had not decided what to make with it.
That was my experience at the time, rather than a promise that stores give away pallets. Ask staff before taking one and check the store’s policy.
The beginning of our backyard oven
Mike was working in the backyard on a masonry project, something he had not done before. This photograph shows the work underway.
The next photograph, credited to Paul at Cape Town Daily Photo, was an inspiration image—not our finished oven.
The later outdoor pizza oven post follows our own project.
A Provence frame for Laurie’s rooster watercolor
Laurie at How My Time Fly sent me a rooster watercolor. I painted its frame with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Provence, then distressed it.
The framed watercolor found a home with my upcycled wood crate. Laurie also made a bird watercolor for my mother, a gift we both appreciated.
