When I saw the bottle on my grocery store shelf, I was curious as to why it was shaped that way.
Attach the front apron pieces to the top with some wood glue and nails, then flip the whole thing over.. Chris cut these little triangles out of some scrap wood and used those along with some wood glue and nails to attach the leg pieces on.If you’re not as confident with a saw as he is, I’d suggest just grabbing a few basic metal brackets while you’re at the hardware store buying your wood.. Something like this:.
Let all your wood glue dry and you’re ready to go!.I finished mine by using some dark wood stain and a few different colors of paint to make it look like it’s really been around.I used a screw driver to really scratch it up good as well.
You can see the cats have been helping me rough it up over the years too by scratching at the legs.I’ll just add a little more dark stain there and it will look even better!.
I can never believe my eyes when I see the prices on benches like these in stores.
They can be up to $200 sometimes!I’ve felt so much better every time I look at it ever since.. You don’t often get to see in our bedroom because it’s half-torn apart and also not really a renovating priority right now, but that’s where the dresser is, so today’s your lucky day!.
I did the most boring, unimaginative thing to it: I painted it white and stuck on some new hardware, and I couldn’t be happier with it.. And the white?It’s not even a cool distressed chalk-paint antique white, in fact it’s the opposite.
I went completely un-trendy and did it in a super duper glossy shiny bright white..I needed that.. Here’s how it looked before:.
