It’s the worst, right?
I showed him a picture one night and he just went and built it for me the next day.It looks super cute in any space and gives off a really neat farmhousy vibe, but it’s really only 5 simple shapes, nailed together.. There’s a straight top, two “leg” pieces, and two front apron pieces.
Start out by cutting yourself a top.Our top is a basic 1×10 pine board and it’s 34 inches long..The sides are pieces of the same 1×10 board, cut to 18″ long with a little triangle notched out.
The angle of the triangle doesn’t really even matter, just eyeball it with the mitre saw and then finish off the cut with a handsaw.Do that for both leg pieces..
The front pieces are just 1×4 boards cut to 34″ long with little 45 degree triangles notched out of the ends on both sides..
5 minutes later and you have all your pieces cut!.It’s a small life-raft of Christmas cheer in the sea of horrors that is our master bedroom.. Ha!
OK, it’s not that bad.It just has dark wood panelling and ugly dark brown doors.. First, I made this Silent Night sign.
I’d been craving this bright, fresh green in my Christmas decor this year, so I mixed myself up this color.. Normal people crave ice cream, I crave a particular shade of green.OK, and ice cream too!.
