Bicycle Love

Last week, Yasu’s bike got stolen... Finally! It was a terribly crappy bike which had broken down after using it less than 10 times. We didn’t have the receipt anymore and it wasn’t worth it to get fixed. We didn’t really know what to do with it, so we left it unlocked near the front door in our building, months ago. We were surprised how long it took for it to be stolen.

Anyways, ever since the theft I’ve been dreaming about our old and wonderful bikes in Osaka. We miss them terribly, and they’ve inspired this week’s treasury.

THANK YOU CASSIE - primitive & proper tip

*COMMUNITY SHARED TIPS PAGE*

Stop by and check out her tip here.

I'd also like to take this oppurtunity
to thank Cassie for featuring my
frightening to french shelf project.
For the full post go here:
French Bookshelf project.

HERE'S THE RECIPE - french cabinet

You need a bucket of that,

 A whole lot of pieces of this,

 One of these,

 Two of these,

 A few of these,


 And you can have this!


This dental molding is trim stolen from a dresser.



Old wooden drawers are a great source
for building materials.


The side panels and top are from the
 huge midcentury desk shown earlier.


The top edge profile is a drawer front.
The same drawer shown above.

All the shelves are made from drawer
fronts or backs.

I've mounted a touch light system in the top
with 3 brightness's



I have dressed it for use in the kitchen
or dining room. However it could be used
in many areas of your home.
Where would you like it to go in your home?


 
Another great cabinet I pieced together can be found here
