Ok…so this post doesn’t have anything to do with fabric or yarn but it DOES have to do with all things handmade.
My birthday was this past Saturday and this is by far the best present I’ve received in a long time. My dude made me a coffee table!
the only thing he paid for were the screws.
I recently decided I wanted our apartment to feel like an Urban Rustic Cabin and this fits perfectly…plus it’s handmade and built nearly for free!
a side view.
Late in the summer we found a pallet in great condition near the dumpster where he works. Of course we HAD to pick it up, not knowing yet what it would become. A few months later I found he’d planned on making me the most perfect coffee table. Note the split level design: The lower ledge can be used either for a foot rest or as a place to rest drinks while the upper part is perfect to keep the computer out of the way. (Our computer is our TV..so this works perfectly.)
All made from found wood!
To fill in gaps he used wood he found laying around the basement, but it still retains a very rustic feel and I think it’s perfect! I had yet to find the perfect coffee table and this fits the bill wonderfully. It’s nice to be with a guy that’s crafty and resourceful!
Have a great start to your week, everyone. Hopefully you are recovering from your food comas…
