The Latest Furniture Project

I'm hard at work on our latest project. This time I have repurposed the old swinging door from the kitchen. It is a beautiful door, solid wood with good lines. That sucker is heavy. 
I'm also branching out a bit: experimenting with crown molding and various bits of trim. There have been a few errors along the way: Like my non-matching crown molding pieces. Whoops. Thank god for caulk. 
I'm currently in the primer painting stage so it might be a few days before we're finished. At this point, I'm just hoping that I'll be able to fit it up the staircase and into the bedroom. 


This has been fun. I'm no longer feeling quite so intimidated by the macho power tools and the finished products are looking halfway decent. Of course all the nicks and wobbly cuts are glaringly obvious to me but hopefully they won't be noticed when each piece is settled within the room. 

As for the next project, I'm thinking something big. Like a bookcase. Or a dining room table!
