How to Build a Potting Bench Part II - Add a Roof
DIP DYED STEP STOOL
I am in oops paint heaven! When I was in the local Benjamin Moore store, picking out my kitchen cabinet paint for my next big project, I came across this fabulous deep aqua oops paint. I couldn't wait to get home and pick out my target!!!
I settled on my country red step stool. It no longer fits in the aqua-fied mudroom that I've created. I really love the dip dye trend. I've been pinning away all the wonderful projects I've seen and here was the perfect opportunity for me to try it out with my fresh, happy teal-aqua-turquoise-whatever-we're-calling-it-today oops paint.
Here's how the step stool looked yesterday:
Make a Plain Cabinet into a Pie Safe!
I adore pie safes. The look, the romance of bygone times, the smell of freshly baked pie in my mom's kitchen... mmmmmm delightful!
I've wanted a pie safe forever, but they don't ever seem to turn up for sale around here. Sigh. What to do. A few weeks ago, I got an email from D. Lawless Hardware offering me whatever I wanted from their stock to build something cool with. When I saw the pie safe tin on their site I was so excited!!! I picked out the old fashioned wheat sheaf pattern and got 4 of them.
I knew I wanted to create a pie safe, but I didn't know which cabinet to pick. Then my eye settled on the unfinished pantry cabinet in my kitchen. I've been searching for a way to dress up the plain jane door I built for it. It just didn't do much for the cabinet and it certainly wasn't as charming as the shutter doors that I used on the top half.
