Projects Done!
Whew.
A final push in the last few weeks and the projects are done. At least to the point where someone else can easily so the little final things needed to make them complete. Like Suzanne’s bathroom. It’s done to the point where someone else can drill the hole and install the faucet and plumb it up.
Original drawings and more or less final product. In fact, we decided that the shelves to the right stuck out too much and so we shortened them so that they just barely protruded from the sink base. We also changed the little stack of open shelves on the left side to be a single shelf that welt across the whole left hand opening. There will also be a tile backsplash that goes from the sink base to the level of the drawer stack.
There’s some close-ups of the wood tops. The left and right side are quilted maple and the center drawer stack is topped with curly birch. The idea was to have the sink appear to be floating on the surface of water and it worked out pretty well I think.
The drawer fronts and edging of the shelves was also quilted maple. I’m quite happy with how it came out.
Next, Gail & Ben’s shelves. The tricky part on these were getting the dye right to blend in with existing Danish furniture as well as working with a Very Red wall. After a number of attempts, I think we got it right. The tops on these shelves are also curly birch, and you can see how they compare in color to the curly birch on bath shelves which aren’t dyed.
And last, but not least was the tool box.
I thought it would be heavy when we loaded it with tools, and it was. Too much for 2 people really, so we have to put the main box in the car and then put in the smaller boxes.
The tupperwear tub contains all my waterstones and sharpening gear.
Tools tools tools. And they all fit!
Ready to go.
