I'm so tired... but I'm done.
My mother in law, who is a genius suggested I used L brackets to finish my bench. (Genius, I tell you!) My mom, who's an angel picked them up and brought them down to me since I live in a small town where everything is closed on Sunday.
So I popped an L bracket everywhere a screw was supposed to be and now I have a fabulous finished bench :)
Hooray!!! I looked all weekend, but never found baskets I loved to put under it... I'll keep looking.
AND! I got my jewelry display done as well. (It about drove me batty, but I did it!)
After some measuring, marking,
cutting
upholstering... test fitting...
cussing about how old houses are always crooked...
one side fit, the other didn't... awesome... I almost ugly cried... but instead...
I pulled back the upholstery and tired sanding it, lugging to my bedroom and re-testing it.... and sanding it, lugging to my bedroom and re-testing it... and sanding it, lugging to my bedroom and re-testing it... then I finally busted out the jigsaw and chopped off a quarter inch... added all my hardware and my fancy trim, AND WALA!!!
ugh, I just realized that you can see some of my chalk lines... I'm not messing any more with this today, lol. I'm gonna go take a bubble bath and then go stare at it and smile. I think hands down the best part of my day was hanging up all my necklaces on this. I really love my necklaces and it is so cool to be able to see them now!
That looks awesome! And it covers up the crazy window! Woo!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any chalk lines. :)
Yeah, it's soo good to finally have some real privacy in there! lol
