I've been fairly quiet lately with home projects. However, I will have some new projects and blog posts soon.
A while ago I blogged about wanting to build a kitchen cart to replace my portable dishwasher that we never use. The table is almost complete! It is a combined effort between my father and I. I do not have access to wood cutting tools so after I bought the wood and had it cut to a rough size that I needed, he cut it to a precise size and also helped assemble it.
This past weekend I added to two shelves to it and started to stain it. I hope to finish painting the rest of it this week if the weather holds out and have it done by the weekend! I was able to use my new sander and it worked great.
Once this project is done, I have a few others I want to start on. First is a skinny behind the couch sofa table. Currently we have a coffee table in front of the couch. It is a glass table with a metal frame. Despite having this table in same place for about 9 years, I walk into it often and end up with bruised or bloodied knees. My space perception is terrible. Yesterday I hit my knee quite hard and just said I'm done. I can't take this anymore!
The plan is to make something to go behind the couch so when people are over they have a place to set their glass and I can also decorate it a bit. It should be fairly simple to build.
The project after that is repainting my nightstand. I've had it for as long as I can remember and it's in rough shape. A good sanding and coat of paint should spruce it right up. If that goes well, I may also tackle an old dresser that is in our basement and bring it up to our spare room.
Those are my summer projects, along with continuing to update and maintain our yard.
