Okay, this just might be my favorite build to date. It was a build that didn’t start with much of a plan and transitioned into something AWESOME!

I recently built myself a IKEA hack floating media console using some reclaimed white oak and since this coffee table is going in the same room I decided to make it out of the same material. So, that is where it started. My house has a little mid-century vibe to it and currently a lot of straight lines. I wanted to change that so I decided to make this table pill shaped!

I’m so excited to share this build with you. I have always wanted a concrete coffee table, but lifting all those heavy bags and creating a form and waiting for it to cure was just a little to daunting for me. So when I found this concrete feather finish I knew I wanted to give it a try.

One mans junk is another man’s treasure. Recycle, reuse, repurpose…. or like I like to call it Upcycle! When I was first starting out making stuff I did a lot of upcycles. I thought of them as cheap learning experiences. You can usually find cheap pieces on the street, a garage sale, Facebook marketplace or Goodwill. And since they are cheap, if you totally mess them up it isn’t that big of a deal.

Sometimes I question if doing this business is worth it. The long hours, the wondering where the next job will come from, the not so glamorous wardrobe that I wear all the time, the messy hair/no makeup look..... and then I sit down and review all the things I built in 2017. Yes, yes, yes it was all worth it!!! I can't believe I get to and was able to make so many awesome things!!!!
