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!!
