Poplar Tables

Found these great poplar boards at the local lumberyard. I made the feet during my last trip to Europe, using the concrete reinforcement bars and a friend's help to weld them together.
I sanded, clear coated the boards so that the natural pattern wouldn't get lost.
SOLD

 I would use them as breakfast in bed lovers side tables

Little Rustic Fantastic Ottoman

I wanted to finish off all my coffee sacks and this was the last of them. The look goes awesomely with my rustic glam theme for this show in October

How to make the A/C disappear?

We decided to build a cubby around it. It came out pretty sweet I gotta say. Definitely serves a purpose. Used 2x3-s, 1x2-s, Aluminum vent sheet and pickled oak stain. It opens if needed and is wide enough to hide the electrical outlet.

Felt Fun

Brought back a roll of natural felt from Estonia last time I went and made these rustic looking candle cozy's 

Anneli in Design Sponge

My knitted pillows were finally featured in the Design Sponge (my bible!) in March. Check it out here !

Scrap Wood Bench

Construction on the second floor is on hold for now. It's literally like a sauna up there now in the summer. But we can salvage a lot of scrap wood from that room and make new cool things out of it. Like that chest. I think that came out so awesome. 
I posted on FB that I started collecting vintage grain sacks. Some friends brought me the Basmati bags, the other friend got me this large coffee bag from Netherlands. She does a lot of traveling there buying old furniture for her store (www.mooblisahver.com). Thanks Piret!
So first we made a box using 2x4-s and 1x2-s from the construction room.

The coffee sack material is sturdy but very sheer and wimpy, I sewed a different fabric under it to make it sturdier by sewing a grid all across the material. 
I get foam from work, we pack heavy stuff there so foam is free. It was a pain to make the trim. It sheared like crazy. But in the end it looks pretty neat I think. If the cats start scratching that I will be very very mad.

Some Older Makeovers

We used to have a tiny apt in Fort Lee (love that town!) We needed a tiny couch and found this yellow one and turned it into a cow. I know I know, cow print is long overdue,.. still :)

Scrap Wood Chest

My work room upstairs is finally done. I needed a place to put all my millions of fabrics and swatches. We figured this weird corner could hold a giant chest and all my materials would be in one place. From demolition in the room next to it, we had piles of beat-up 1x3's. So we decided to build a chest, using only scrap materials from the ceiling.

It looked like a pig crate at first :)

After we managed to make it durable enough, stained it ebony and added a lion head knocker for easy pulling. Looks pretty nice ay? Cost $0.00 plus the wheels and hinges of course.
