Feeling blue?

These were a donation from a friend who was moving house about a year ago.  They are lightweight plastic and are really useful at this time of the year - we pull them out from the shed and because they are light you can move them around garden chasing some shade and staying out of the sun while eating dinner. On that note, this June is crazy hot!!!  Heat warnings in place would you believe.   Any locals/longtimers I have been speaking with have told me they cannot remember any hotter June.

The furniture needed a small touch up...

I suppose, I could have just gone for white.  But here we are, I went for a tropical Florida blue

I am not entirely sure about them tbh

A little bit out there! But heck, something different, eh

Drinks Cabinet/Home bar - DIY project

Step 1.  Chip off all the mosaic tiles from the counter which "somebody" ill-advisedly applied ;-)

Step 2.  Affix new wood countertop and "riser" - thank you "No More Nails" :-)

Cool story about the wood.

I posted on an Irish community forum and asked where I could buy "cut to measure" wood in my locality.  Received loads of helpful suggestions. But also received the offer from another poster that they would cut me the size I required from their leftover wood and they'd give it to me for nothing.

So I collected the wood from them this morning.

How nice!

Step 3. Spray paint black (two coats)

Step 4.  Screw on new handles (green crystal)

Ta-dahhhh!

Costs:

Flatpack drinks cabinet €25 (about 5 years ago in Centra, Cappamore. Ridiculously cheap)

Crystal knobs €5

Black spray €24

Wood €10 

TOTAL: €64 (yes, for real)
