    I painted, added handles & casters & use them for under bed storage. Works well. Love the mirror idea as I need a specific size/style mirror for a wall but have been unable to find it. You've made my search much easier. Thanks!

    That drawer was such an awesome find Deidre and I love what you did with it. I also love the little stool with the storage in. Great idea for candle storage. You always have awesome ideas. I’ve never heard of that mirror stuff, great idea making a mirror out if the window though. I’m not a person who likes making stuff look old although I always like whatever all the crafters do to make their projects like that. I just won’t do it myself. I would however love to use that mirror spray on a window and make it look like a mirror. TFS and for the inspiration I get from your videos. I’ve tried so hard to like what everyone does now with their painted items but even back years ago when the distressing and crackle affect was in I hated it. I could never get my head around putting all that effort into painting something only to distress it or scrape the paint off lol. Old habits die hard I guess cos I still feel the same all those years later. I love all the ideas though I just do them my way, which is what crafting is all about.

      I love the mirror effect. I loved the two smaller ones and saw an opportunity to add pictures there or some great graphics, seeing as there’s a mirror there already. It would add more interest to the whole piece. I agree cordless tools are the way to go but are sometimes too expensive.

    All your projects were great. The stool was my favorite. I too have been buying Ryobi cordless power tools. My next purchase will be the circular saw. Which size did you get. The guys say that the circular saw is somewhat dangerous as it can kick back. I’m looking at the 5 1/2 inch one as I don’t plan on building a house with it!! I know the cordless saw is not quite as powerful as the corded ones therefore they are a little safer. Just wondering what size you bought. Thank you for sharing all you ideas.

    Drawer turned out cute fyi.. you could also make the shelves narrower to have your trim piece flush with the drawer.

  • @WomanUnfiltered
    @WomanUnfiltered Рік тому

    I'm not a woodworking expert, but I do my share of woodworking, and I'd have bought the little shelf clips like used on many bookcases and kitchen cabinets, drilled just far enough for the pegs to be inserted. Put 2 on each side and place the shelf on top. That way, if you want to switch it up at some point, you can add more peg holes, not to mention it makes the shelf sturdier. Just a thought.

    Love your upcycles as usual! If pressed I’d say the drawer was my favorite. Keeping my eyes peeled for a lonely drawer now! Do you have a link to the video where you made the absolutely awesome doorknob hanger that is visible in the last shot of the mirror? I’ve tried to unsuccessfully to find it but I know I’ve seen it before! I have a collection of doorknobs begging to turn into something similar! Thank you!!

    Hon, that's not a Skill saw, it's a Circular saw. 😉 I have the Ryobi Airstrike brad nailer also. It was a bit of a learning curve for me, figuring out where those brads were going to end up, so how to align it. I had several go where I didn't want them to at first. 😁 I have an old drawer that I got for $3 from Habit Restore, but had no idea what to do with it. Love what you did with yours. I love all of these projects, don't really have a favorite. Thank you!
