Friday D.I.Y Day

Today I made two A frame open clothes racks for Max and I.

Until we build the walk in robe/ensuite in the bedroom we are converting to the master bedroom, this is our semi-permanent solution!

I had seen a few different clothes racks similar to this and liked the simplicity of the design. I priced up a few and figured they looked easy enough to build, so why pay retail when I could probably make them myself! The cheapest I could find online was $79.95 each, plus $15.00 shipping = $174.90 total . . .

I made the two clothing racks for $90.00 including the drill bit!

I used our Makita Drill, a Stanley Tape Measure, a 20mm Wood Drill Bit and a trusty Saw!

A LITTLE BIT MORE D.I.Y

Last Saturday, Max and I decided to make a stretched canvas – for an artwork, to go in our living/lounge area . . . Remember the gigantic white brick wall . . . Yep, to hang on that wall!

As it is such a vast area, I was struggling to find blank canvases big enough and even though we have been looking for artwork for 12 months, we hadn’t found anything we loved within our price range. (Giant artworks cost giant amounts of cashola!)

So, looks like I’m going to have to get creative and come up with something to paint on our newly stretched, primed 1100mm x 2400mm canvas . . . Ideas welcome!
