This is what we finished up this weekend.
My hubby and I worked on it together and I LOVE it. :) It cost approximately $100 with wood materials and paint to complete. We already had the paint supplies (brushes, etc) and the tools so no cost there.
We didn't write our own plans but we followed these and tweaked them to our own liking.
The baskets came from Kmart. They are the water hyacinth large crate baskets in expresso finish.
I haven't fully decorated it and I really don't know what i'm going to do yet but the bird and box came from Hobby Lobby. I have a slight obsession over birds but thats a different post for a different day. Ha! So what's the next thing on my list you wonder? Ok... maybe you don't but still. See the cabinet over to the left side, the smidge of it that you can see. I just picked up some paint to give it a fresh new look, more on that later.













Oooh, I can't believe you actually made this, this looks awesome! Come on over and share it at my cheap finds and transformation party, it's too pretty not too:) Have a great weekend! http://www.thescottscrib.com/2012/03/lathriftas-cheap-finds-and.html
ReplyDeleteMy hubby and I have really been in to making some furniture. It's fun and lasts longer than the cheap made stuff but ends up being cheaper to build, go figure.
DeleteI wish I could build, I may try one day:) I wanted to drop in to tell you that you were my most pinned project on my LaThrifta pin board last week and that means you have been awarded the superstar badge of honor:) I hope you'll link up more goodies with us soon:) Here's the link to see your feature! Have a great weekend! http://www.thescottscrib.com/2012/03/lathriftas-cheap-finds-and_16.html
