Shelf

I had some wood left over from the cabinet from the previews post and decided to make a very simple shelf/coat hanger to go in the same room as the cabinet. (please click on the image to see it bigger) it took two minutes to make and you can tell!! Very rough!But rustic has to be rustic! So there it is. Its been doing its purpose for good while and normally it is covered in coats and you can barely see it . Above there is a lovely Christmas wreaths  that my sister made few years ago. I really like it and I keep it there all year around ! :P The shelf was stained like the cabinet with a dark pine stain. I first wanted paint them white washed, but being the walls white, I thought everything would look a bit to..white!

Rustic cabinet

There are many rustic elements in our house, you can't help it when you live in the countryside. This small cabinet was made using wood from a pallet and other recycled material. The chicken net and curtains was a must, too cute! Inside the cabinet is the electric panel with the house switches and power meter and the cabinet has been built around them, very carefully!!

Hi There, this is my very first post on this blog which I decided to make about...three minutes ago. Mmh. I wonder what to show in this first one. I made several DIY works around the house and I thought it would be a good idea to share them with the world, since this is becoming more and more popular ! Here is the more recent project:
- The upstairs bedroom - Before and after. Upgraded to a double bed, which seems a little big for the room but, for this country's standards is "fine, sure" !And since it took me a good bit of sweat to push the mattress up the roof of the near extension and then trough the narrow window, it's definitely staying in there! The headboard is made with the wood I removed from the wall and a small cot mattress that was never used.
The two fitted cabinets were actually very very mouldy! Thank goodness for getting rid of them.  The style is still marine, but a bit more modern and fresh and very very clean!Bye bye mould!
