I love that it can easily hold about three big loads of folded laundry, so if I don’t get time to put it away over the weekend, it still has a place to live and be tidy and out of the way..
The counter top for the beverage center as well as the skirting around the top came from some of the siding that has been blown off.Actually, that siding has been used in quite a few projects around here, and also in the homes of a lot of the neighbors.
It’s become kind of a community-use barn around here.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.
We made the whole thing 36 inches tall (standard counter height), and about 5 feet wide.It’s a good one!You see, I’m not really sure exactly how to say this you….
(jj design group).So I’ll just come right out and say it.
We’re insane.. (pottery barn kids).She’s pretty pleasant and easy to deal with.
