Earlier in the year, I had repurposed wooden boards from old wine crates to make a drinks dispenser. I was really happy with how it looked. But, I realised that I didn’t actually need it! I made it more as a design feature really. So, after a few months of virtually no use at allContinue reading “Turning a DIY drinks dispenser into a Coffee Table”

TV Stand
This is a really simple TV stand made using pine posts and some plywood board. It actually started off as a small general storage shelf type thing for my bedroom. But, it has since become a firm fixture of the living room. It was really simple to make, and one of the first projects thatContinue reading “TV Stand”
Simple DIY Round Coffee Table
Small coffee tables seem to be a staple of DIY projects. So, I decided it was time to have a go at one of my own. I’d made a couple of basic end tables before, but they had both either had square or rectangular tops. I liked the idea of making a round coffee table.Continue reading “Simple DIY Round Coffee Table”
Repurposing old wine crates to make a spirits dispenser
I had previously used some old wine crates to create a unique feature for a rustic drinks cabinet. The crate centrepiece with the wine’s vintage created a display feature on the front of the cabinet. I loved the way it looked and it gave some style and a nice personal touch to the cabinet. Afterwards,Continue reading “Repurposing old wine crates to make a spirits dispenser”
Bathroom cladding feature wall
I decided to add a feature wall to my bathroom, using wooden cladding. I had been to a restaurant and seen a nice example of a wooden cladding wall in the bathroom there. This had given me an idea, so the goal was to create a focal point for my own bathroom. Studies have shownContinue reading “Bathroom cladding feature wall”

I planned to make a vanity unit for the sink, so I could have some shelves underneath. The existing mirror didn’t have a frame either so I wanted to add a simple woodenContinue reading “DIY wooden bathroom vanity unit”
Breakfast Bar
This was probably my most ambitious project to date, as it involved working within an existing structure (the wall) rather than creating something smaller and free-standing which is what I had done previously. This meant my measurements had to be spot on. The idea was to open up the space between the kitchen and livingContinue reading “Breakfast Bar”
Rustic ‘Butcher Block’ End Table
The term ‘Butcher Block’ wasn’t something I was familiar with. I kept coming across the term when looking at kitchen countertops and some of the different styles. It also seemed to be a style very popular with smaller things like cutting boards. I really liked the look of the style, but had no idea howContinue reading “Rustic ‘Butcher Block’ End Table”
DIY Small Shelves: A Weekend Woodworking Project
Small shelves are always useful, and if positioned correctly, can add an extra feature to a wall in some way or another. So, I decided to make a couple. It would be a nice little woodworking project for a weekend of DIY. I didn’t really want to buy any additional material, so I used someContinue reading “DIY Small Shelves: A Weekend Woodworking Project”
Transforming Old Pallet wood into Stylish Corner Shelves
After lockdown, a friend asked me to make some shelves for their flat. I thought this would be a fun thing to do and agreed. We decided that some corner shelves would be the best way to go. This represented a new challenge for me. I hadn’t really made anything for anyone other than myselfContinue reading “Transforming Old Pallet wood into Stylish Corner Shelves”
