Already had the metal base from a vintage tier table I had bought a month ago.<br />
I've been looking for metal bases lately and Pennsylvania is a goldmine of thrift shops.<br />
Prepared the edges and glued, clamped, sanded, stained, coated the wood.<br />

Another Thrift Store find. Kind of an odd piece. Heavy too. I sanded, stained and clear coated it. I wasn't happy with the mix of different grade solid wood, particle board and veneer that this thing was put together with. But in the end it turned out pretty cool. I removed the original footing and replaced with a set of Hairpin legs that proved to be a perfect match for this cabinet. </div>

It doesn't have much substance as far as quality and material goes. But the wire legs gave it character. Light sanding, new coat of paint and then I hand drew the wood pattern on it. Currently for sale.<br />

And that's how this heavy, over hundred years old bed found its way to our truck.<br />
I gotta thank a very good friend helping me with the excruciating sanding job. But it was well worth it. Definitely a keeper.<br />

Cut a plywood circle, built a cushion and sewed a gray wool cover with a yellow trim on it. It rotates and can be adjusted.. how fun :)<br />

"make something out of it" The table was made of kind of plaster covered plywood. So there was really nothing much I could do besides painting it black. I sanded the rough and broken areas, dismantled the lamp, used BIN spray primer and then applied matte black spray paint.<br />

I have loved these walls for over 10 years now, since they
started popping up in interior magazines. Better late then never, I thought, and
decided to "invent a bicycle" since there is not a single tutorial on the
Internet on how to achieve the same results. Unless I order fake paneling
from Europe. </div>

We got a sheet of Drywall. Cut it to the blocks according to
our design. Then measured the holes and used a circular drill bit to pre-cut
the holes. Then we glued and screwed the pieces of drywall on the wall. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I used Gray Concrete Patch (It doesn't shrink!) and spackled the whole wall. The holes needed to be done twice since it cracked overnight. Basically,
a good steady hand is needed for applying the top coat. Especially on the
corners. For the ridges we used a grooving tool. </div>

We gained extra space by using a built-in cabinet from the room next to the bathroom. We insulated the walls, covered with plastic, sheetrocked, spackled, painted, installed tile on the floor, installed a tub, Brian built a box around the tub, also a drawer on wheels for storage. Brian did all electric wiring and built “floating shelves”. We tiled the box and the walls, new sink from Ikea.<br />

Saw the chair and bought it for $15 bucks. Later when I decided to work on it, I found a stamp underneath and did some research. Could be over 100 years old.<br />

After applying the stain I was amazed at the contrasty pattern that formed due to a very old dense wood. I used a simple reinforced burlap to cover the new seat veneer.<br />

Originally I wanted to glue wooden cookies all along the curved edge, making it look like a welded bolts. But the ones I ordered online (Awesome source by the way http://www.americanwoodcrafterssupply.com), were too big, soo I changed my plan and glued them to the feet. Even better? Then I had trouble get the paint stick to the laminated top. Had to sand everything off again and start over with a right primer! If anyone ever wants to paint laminate, this is your product! make sure to sand it first and clear coat at the end.<br />

The top was completely gone and just when I was about to throw it for firewood, we decided to salvage the poor thing. Brian made a box for tile for it and painted the legs black. Now it serves as a flower stand or just an extra table to rest your glass on the porch :)<br />
