Moving right along.....

Before

Made the decision to go ahead and cut the handles into the drawers....templates made



Prior inspiration piece I did a little over two years ago


Loved it but my goal is to make these cooler :) teeheehee

Went for it last night making the cuts and filling prior handle holes....


I totally love working with furniture....taking something old and discarded and making it awesome again!!! So excited to get these done!!!!

Rebel without a clue.....

I KID I KID....

I'm going for it......baahaahaaa....no really  just like always before "cutting" into a project I go through a process of everything that can go wrong and then talk myself right back into just doing it....saying to myself the worst that could happen is I ruin all the drawers and the it will become a lovely bookcase....

Very minimal progress....but progress none the less

Here is what I'm working with (my before)

Here is my previous project before...
After

My new project will be similar....but I'm going for wayyyy cooler ;) 


STAYYYY TUNEDDDD.....I am so excited to get these going!!!!
