This is what landscapers do in the winter when not dealing with snow. They restore an old 1938 bungalow and build furniture.
It is a small house, so whenever think we might want a piece of furniture. We go out looking for one, but usually furniture today is made for larger homes. So they are too high, too deep or wider that a space will allow.
My wife and partner is a designer thru and thru, so she has built a model of our house and anything we think to put in it, she makes a model of it to see how it looks and fits.
Once she happy with the design she tells me to build it
It this case we do have TV, but didn’t want to to be the center on the living room, so it sits in the lower cabinet behind closed doors, unless we’re going to watch a movie
Every time we finish something, I’m always suggesting that it is the time to move. For whether it was our kitchen or any of the other rooms, it always looks it best then, as is with this bookcase that is now over-loaded with books and all kinds of odd things sitting on top
Wow – who knew – landscaping and woodworking skills. You’re multi talented. 🙂 Beautiful work.
Looks great!
Wonderful work! I live in an 1927 bungalow that has retained many of its features-they are architectural gems to me-
Great work and so satisfying to have a unique piece of furniture that you had a hand in refurbishing and painting to make it fit your house.
Very nice bookshelf. Just shows you how something more plain can evolve into what you beautifully improved upon.
What a superb talent. Landscaping in the Gulf Coast never takes a break. I would welcome snow, if not for a forced chance to do some of those nagging info projects.
Nice work!
What gorgeous work! Love the narrow shelves and hidden TV; great design!
Wow!
Hi antilandscaper. I can’t even paint a wall with non drip paint as it always seems to drip..I admire those who can create by using their hands. Thank you for liking ‘ Streaks.’. Best Wishes. The Foureyed Poet.
