DIY Natural Garden Fertilizers for Miraculous Results
Rambling Renovators.
We made the whole thing 36 inches tall (standard counter height), and about 5 feet wide.The counter top is about 22 inches deep, which is a bit less than a standard kitchen counter.
I really had no reason for that other than the fact that it felt right.When you design your own DIY project, you get to make calls like that.Next, we had to create our counter top out of barn wood, as well as the lower shelf, which is made from new pine..
The top is actually made from three barn wood siding pieces held together with wood glue and dowels.We held everything together with clamps in every direction to make sure things would dry to be straight and strong.
After a couple of hours, we removed the clamps and we were good to go!.
The lower shelf was created in much the same way, using a long piece of pine shelving and then adding strips of two-by-two all around the edges to give it a chunkier, more substantial look.Then I just drilled in a couple of screws for each hook and 10 minutes later it was done!.
Why do they even sell pre-made boards of hooks in stores?It’s just irresponsible..
I ended up using it on the wall in my mudroom.. It’s great for holding skipping ropes, dog leashes, wet towels, and stuff like that.. Usually in the Summer this area is just a big mess of toys and outdoor gear, but now it’s just a little more organized.It even looks a little bit fun, right?
