The bathroom is finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







I bought 2 chairs for 50 cents at a garage sale, green check. I took one of them apart and made the red dotted chair, which will look much better in the room it is going than the green.

Waterslide decals

When I heard about waterslide decals, I ordered some right away. I took an image of tile and copied it a number of times, then printed the image on the decal paper and followed the directions that came with the paper. The decals were a breeze to work with and I hope to do a lot more with them. The counter tops started out plain white


Michael's Hutch

I got 6 of these packs at an auction in a bag of odds and ends, not sure what they were for, but the corkboard circles in them made a perfect corkboard, with a frame around it.

2 parts from 2 Michael's Hutch's, the smaller one will go in my kitchen.

Styrene Tubing "Brass Bed"

The Towel bar & toilet paper holder were just bent on the ends and a flat bead added to the end.















Styrene Tubing "Brass Bed"

The list of materials:
Styrene Tubing, I used 3/16,3/32 and1/8, but other sizes are available, I got mine at http://www.hobbylinc.com/
wire, assorted beads, glue and wax paper

You can find tons of ideas for your bed on the internet, and bed sizes are easy to come up with. Draw the bed you want to build and cover the drawing with waxpaper. You can then have a guide to build your bed. Curved pieces are easier than they look, the tubing will bend, just put some weights on it after you glue.


If you want to put beads on the spindles, use wire inside the tubing, frst cut the wire to the size you want and add the beads and tubing.


I used Skinny Sticks for the wood slats



My Beacon Hill
