    It doesn’t matter what people think of something as long as the person that did it is happy with it. Personally, I think it’ll look great when done. And there’s something of personal satisfaction when you have turned nothing into something. Odds of wood lying around or stored. Becomes a boot room/cloak room. That’s a win in my book.

Do what you want to do, not what others might think. I love the boot room, looks totally wonderful, functional and creative, from a Pinterest photo you saw, very well done.

      I'm glad you mentioned the dead tree, lol. Brian intrigues me. I saw that and asked myself, "What's he got planned for that tree?" But he's right! You never throw out wood. It is wood. I've cut branches and cleaned then of bark, sanded them and with a small block of wood screwed to its widest part, it was stood up like a small tree to hold small beaded necklaces and tiny beaded leather bags for my Indian dolls I hand made. I'd seen it on Pinterest as well. I felt so good thinking I'd taken throw away things, made something I needed, and spent no money doing it. Brian? When people did see it? They wanted one too and asked where I got it, lol. I said, "Well, out in the yard." It was hilarious how they thought someone just left it there, and it was valuable! I told them I made it, and they said, "But, how? Why not just buy something like it?" I said, "Because it's free! I didn't have to spend money to get it, and who else has something like it?" She wanted one too, but I said it's better if she makes one and it's easy. Sadly the enjoyment they miss out on is it's true value!
