You've all heard my story, of how I had given up on ever having dreams of my own, and was probably destined to be one of those pushy parents living out their dreams through their children. Yep, that was me. A 28 year old stay at home mom, with big dreams, but no experience, education, connections, money, and living in remote Alaska, thousands of miles from any opportunity. Or so I thought.
Could I make a plan?
"We chose PureBond birch plywood, and stained it with Rustoleum Ultimate Wood Stain in Kona followed by 3 coats of poly. Oh, and my "decorative" door was an accident! I forgot to measure twice, cut once ;) I cut the door much too short, and had to compensate with scrap from the 1x2 pieces to create a frame with an inset panel. I'd say that it was a happy accident, it adds a bit of interest to the front! All the lumber and hardware came from Home Depot, with the tapered legs and edge banding from Lowe's. This is a beautifully styled, sturdy console, and I'm proud to say "I built that!""
