What's to do with the salvaged Mid Century legs!

I bought four Mid Century furniture legs long time ago on ebay for a really good deal. I always have the love for Mid Century furniture and always dream of owning one. But the price for those furniture aren't cheap. I saw some simple design and started planning to build a record player for my record collection. 

It took a long time for me to find out that I can get the lumber store to cut the wood for me so I gave them the measurement and they cut the wood for me. The cost for woods and hardware was around $50. I tried to save money and not getting the drill as they suggested. A drill can make my life easier but I am not ready to spend $40 on it! Again, keep searching ebay until I find a used one on my budget.

On my time off, I was sanding woods, stained them and finally put the coating layer on. It took 2 days for the whole process.

Finally, the sampling time came and it was so excited. The moment I put the legs on and it fitted perfectly, made me want to cry! :-)

Project “Home sweet home”

I always wanted to have a place that fit my style, surrounded by stuffs I love. After found a small studio near my work place in a small lovely beach town named Venice, I built my first ever piece of furniture. This is a wine/coffee table made from wine crates that I collected.Step 1: the frame

Step 2: finished!

The love for Plants!

I've been in love with Terrarium since the first time I knew about it. One day, I saw a big glass vase on the clearance section at TJ Max for $5.99 and I decided to get it and I knew someday I will have a good use for it. I put it on the shelf and look at it everyday thinking about having a terrarium in this glass vase. I searched my memory to see what I already have and what I will need to buy. My boyfriend said I was a hoarder but I thought I was a good hoarder since all the tiny little stuffs I saved became usefull one day, like the little sushi dipping sauce bowl, perfect for a little pond ;-)

I made a strip to the Japanese Bonsai nursery and got some succulent for $1.50 each and a supper cute tiny Japanese temple for $6.00. With some pebbles and soil, the little garden was formed. Now the hard job is keep them alive ;-).
