Built-In Refrigerator

This is the first cabinet I'm working on for the kitchen. They will all be custom built.

Since Grandma doesn't do much baking, I thought she might like to store her mixer, cookie sheets, cake pans and cookbooks above the fridge.

Sure wish I could stay home today and finish this. Hope you have a nice day!

Custom Closets

I've started working on the built-ins for Grandma's sewing room. The angle of the ceiling is making this a bit challenging.


The bashed Michael's hutch needs to be set back a little more. I think it sticks out too much. I haven't decided how I want to paint or wallpaper it yet... Right now it's just taped together.


I want to thank Casey for her ingenious idea for hanging a closet pole. Mine needs to be a little higher. I'll add some shelves and a shoe rack inside later. Not sure if it will have doors or not?

This may be all that gets done today. I do have a real house to clean and laundry to do...

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Michael's In The Microwave

I put some Michael's hutches in the microwave this morning to take them apart. I'm planning to add built-in storage to this wall.

It's time to get out the graph paper and ruler and get busy! This is just an idea.

Hope you have a lovely day!

Built In Bookcases - Day One

I'm so thankful to have found the coffee stirrers I needed for my beadboard bookcases! They were even the perfect length! 7 inches!

I spread a thin layer of wood glue on a piece of balsa wood and glued them down. Then I put them between two pieces of waxed paper and weighted them down overnight.

Here's how they look propped up in the living room with the fireplace. Next I'll be building the cabinets and shelves. More later...

Hope you have good Friday!
Blessings,
