Yep, I've been using power tools. good times.
scary
I needed a low, narrow bookcase to serve as an end table in my living room.
I couldn't find one to fit that wasn't uber-expensive (aka Pottery Barn).
So, I made one.
Well, to be fair, Ben and my dad did a lot of it...
Before she was painted.
In all her turquoise glory,
with some Ironstone pieces gifted to me from my Nanny.
We used THIS plan from Knock-Off Wood. It really was simple. It helps that my dad has all the necessary power tools and all that.
I'm so happy with how it turned out! I chose the color bc eventually I plan on putting drapes in the
living room that have that grayish turquoise color in them....posted about it HERE.
So yea...I'm a regular carpenter over here. Who needs a job as an attorney?!
I've got another DIY project that I'll be sharing soon!

VERY IMPRESSED!! It looks great and the color is perfect.
I love the bookcase, and the color is great. I have curtains and pillows that I actually got at Target that are very similar in color.
Wow. You rock! That looks great!
You are so crafty it makes me quite jealous!!! You're always doing something awesome. If I buy some material and pay a nominal fee, will you make me a curtain for my office? I can barely sew straight....and I'm dead serious (about the bad sewing and the request, haha) =)
i love it!
SWEET! And you looked very comfortable w/ the table saw. Or, whatever kinda saw that was. *laugh* Perfect color choice, too! : )
I love the bookshelf & I love that you painted it in a fun color {instead of staining it an obligatory brown or brown-black color}.
I am in the middle of a similar bookcase project. Ohhhh post-Bar craftiness :)
Great Job!
impressive!! I definitely could use some of those power tools!
yes, it always so devastating how expensive pb is :-/ but that bookcase looks fantastic! this makes me miss having my dad close by and all his help and power tools. yay dads!
