Ok, it took me more than a week to finish but that's just because life is becoming quite busy with all the creativity going on in my head, my art studio: my garage or my lounge room when it is too cold! and my kitchen. Here is the finished product, after many coats of PVA glue, homemade chalk paste, timber oil, primer, paint and varnish and after many hours of sanding and drying...
It fits exactly on top of my Ikea shoe rack.
All this black makes me want something a bit brighter.
My next piece of furniture will be a tall and narrow Barocco style dressing table with drawers that will stand right in front of that blue tent you can see.
Enjoy the weekend!

Shelf/dressing table

Yeah! I have been wanting to start on this piece of furniture for ages!
71 wide x 35 deep x 70 high, this shelf will be used to put toys, bags, hats, amongst other things.
I am not planning to have drawers, but this could change!
These pictures show the first steps of cardboard furniture making:
- Cutting the front middle and back shapes
- Adding structural elements to the middle shape to strengthen the piece of furniture
- Gluing the front and back to the structural elements and now it starts to look like what I want.
Next week I'll add the dressing panels on the top, bottom and sides and the lid and I might even have time to paint it!
Enjoy the end of the week!

Hehe! Fairly productive Friday so far! The dressing panels are on. Only the lid is missing and it should be done by the end of the day.
Wait till next week for the finishing touches: A whole lot of covering, protecting, sanding, filling, drying, sanding, filling, drying, sanding, painting, drying, painting, drying, varnishing, drying, varnishing, drying, varnishing, drying,......
Finishing touches really are what takes the longest.
