As I spoke of in an earlier blog, I have been building furniture. My first project was to create a platform bed with wicker storage baskets underneath. Much like the beds that go for over $1000 at Pottery Barn. I drew out my plans for almost a week, changing them here and there as I figured out better solutions. I finally just dove in and starting cutting and assembling. I was very happy with what I built and surprised Sharon quite a bit with my carpentry skills. So to follow that project up I decided to build our fishtank stand and hood.
The project went really well, with only a minor glitch in the staining process, but we got that worked out. We are now blessed with a big beautiful fish tank as the centerpiece for our tiny living room. Now I have the bug to build more. I am going to use this section of my blog to update all the furniture I create. And if anyone sees something I build that they would perhaps like in their home, I would be happy to build one for you at a reasonable price of course :) :) :)
