This was my second big DIY project ( I should say DIO for Do it OURSelves) since my husband had to help me with a few things. Anyway, I chose to paint the whole thing the same color as my office/craft room; BM Revere Pewter. Then, I stenciled some flowers in different colors of gray and white on the top. I had a piece of thick glass cut for the top. When I need to do anything heavy duty (like the open shelf console I did next) I simply put a bath rug on the glass. Even so, it's pretty tough as I've dropped lots of stuff on it without a crack!
I made this from the plan in Ana's book. Before we tackled this, I pulled all the carpet out of my office and put in a plywood floor (ripped into 6" widths).
I just finished the console which was made with plans from Ana and Shanty. Looking to move onto the next big project; a bar cart with doors or a dresser. Yikes! This is fun!
P.S. Love my Ryobi One Plus tools!
Thanks Ana, for the inspiration!
