So I brought a few Easter things into this room, but I’ll save the shots of the new cabinets and counter and all that for my big “before and after” kitchen post that I hope to get posted for you some time soon-ish.
So what do you think?Do you do Winter decorating too or do just move straight from Holiday/Christmas into Spring?.
And, P.S., that room you’re glimpsing in the background is our front hall.If you’d like to see how that’s decorated for the Holidays,.you can check it out here!.
And one more thing before you go!.Have you ever heard of a Google+ Hangout?
It’s a neat new video chat thing where you can have up to 10 people chatting at once and then you can save the video (or not!)
and watch it later.. A whole group of fun and talented bloggers, including myself, will be having Google+ Hangouts to talk about Handmade Holiday ideas this week between December 3rd and 7th.So we made our plan, gathered our barn wood, and then we got to building!
We had to get this whole project completed in less than a weekend and I would say that, for the most part, a project like this would be considered a pretty reasonable thing to aim to accomplish in a weekend.We built some extra trays, which might be pushing it a bit time-wise for the beginner DIYer, and I would suggest leaving the wood staining part for a separate weekend if it’s not something that you do often, because you want to do a really good job of finishing your work of art.
Overall though, definitely a great project that makes a big impact visually and functionally, with a pretty simple process.. Here’s what we did!.We started out by putting together a basic frame with four roof-support legs and some two-by-fours.
