I gratefully exhibit a wonderful master class from "Stasiam" - decent admiration! Next, the words of the author:
"To begin with, I would like to do with the experience of communicating with restorers, ask for pre-forgiveness from professional joiners.
The next story will seem to you act of terrible vandalism to your wonderful profession. And it's not a joke. Your work is very heavy and valuable. Therefore, all the "sneakers" on your part I will accept with due dignity.
I hope that the feelings of all the others will not be affected.
So ... in everything it turned out to be fault of the cost of foreign currency. My relatives were gradually furnished with neighboring furniture. Something bought at once, something came to favorites and left for later.
And then everything became more expensive twice. My brother, exhausted in attempts to furnish his huge house, surrendered, and my favorite daughter-in-law with tears revised bookmarks with their "Wishlists". In no way she could not accept the fact that her existence in the kitchen would be without such a miracle island.
This photo is just that. Only she was needed gray. I managed to convince her that we would never find such a form on the alteration. But she did not give up. I explained her that people first learn on stools, and in general, this is a whole science to work with a tree. "Look carefully, there is nothing complicated here," she said. Whether her some kind of children's faith in me, or the love of his brother and the desire to deprive him of the third shutters on his head, forced me to say a timid "well, I will try."
The next three weeks I felt a slave on the galleys.
Immediately I will say honestly that I do not understand anything in the drawings and schemes. Still painting a charture man. In the construction stores stood for two hours going through the boards, and the pins went crazy, trying to figure out my wishes. I live alone with a child, a girl. This is that there was not a single man with their invaluable advice nearby. From the former husband, only a suitcase with tools remained. If it were not for excitement, I would spit on all this stupid. As a result, my sufferings turned out this miracle (there are no intermediate photos). It's he already at home
Everything is made of wood (pine). Painted acrylic paint and covered with varnish (also acrylic). Handles from IKEA. Pine - inexpensive material, but also very capricious. Slightly pulled and heard treacherous "crust." Its easily traces from shocks. Therefore, the tabletop first for giving the color covered with impregnation, and then covered with oil for table tops so that it was not dangerous to contact food. Passed year. The island serves as its direct appointment. I am glad to my daughter-in-law). This is the one that turned out my first stool. From the remnants of mom on an ambulance hand, such a thing was not known for what. Just.
The next sadness of my relative happened about the lack of space in the hallway for bags, keys, etc. It was decided to make a console with a mirror (sorry, again with the frame). They have a big house, and these mirrors with the frames are not so leaving eyes. Although, again, if you wish, they are easily removed.
This photo is near.
It's already at the hostess
Color lavender. It was chosen under the tone of very beautiful wooden dining chairs with a fabric upholstery of the color of the lavender. The console is made of all the same pine array, only thickness is 40 mm. Elements of stairs were also used, which are called "pillars", with a diameter of 10 cm. It looks thin, but these were the biggest that can be found in ordinary construction software.
Immediately I will say that the house is furnished mainly by massive furniture made of wood, without coloring. And these colored spots simply dilute the monochrome of the interior.
I still have a nephew. He is in the room all these flowers, Vennetstels, naturally, will not go. And life without bedside tables, as you understand, no. I have already cooled to the alterations by the alterations, it was necessary to brave something.
I remembered that on one of the furniture sites I saw such a miracle. And miracle was the price of $ 295
He suggested a daughter-in-law, she approved, and it was decided to lick the idea very shakyly. The color was chosen, focusing on the presence of such yellow in the curtains. All the same array of pine and legs from Lerua Merlen. Paint, varnish.
In the room.
The following bedside tables already did just so "in the table." But they found their owners.
Everything did it myself. The material is still the same. Fully tree. Even boxes. Here's still mine, but not me)
Here instead of the legs used bales from stair elements, the benefit of the choice is now huge. Paint, stencil, putty, varnish. At the edges of the tabletops, the bedside tables were a milling mill, for greater relief.
This friend will stay with me. In the new apartment. The meaning is like former bedside tables.
Handles in bedside tables. Expensive. I found the same on the console table in St. Petersburg, but three times cheaper.
Well, finally, a little lyrics. In the summer were at the cottage, and my mind unexpectedly became interested in Harry Potter. For happiness lacked the magic wand. Watched on the Internet, how much is this miracle and how it looks like. Like this
Costs 1500 rubles.
I looked a couple of days, as my grief-wizard sodes with a screwdriver, and made a branch in 20 minutes. This is what:
Of course, from the original, but my homegrown Harry Potter was the rest of the summer happy.
All this I am what. We have different tastes, views, upbringing, education and we can argue for a long time, which is beautiful, but what is not. And it is right. I just wanted to say if you like something very much, and it was able to make one person, then you will probably be. I'm not a carpenter, not a carpenter, not a cabinetor, I do not do everything according to the rules, almost on the eyes. I am a woman with a set of tools and the desire to make your life a little more beautiful, as I see it.
When I go to the interior benches and see prices, I understand that I can only buy there from the dead donkey ears. I understand that when the thing is really done from the valuable tree species, with very complex bent elements, with complex staining, and the main professional. Yes, you can dream about this thing, and it costs 100%. But in most cases the price does not correspond to quality.
What can I say on the experience of my first stool, if someone is interested.
Material. Pine is very capricious, we do not really feel it, sometimes it leads it. Very soft. Of the advantages of inexpensive, if we are talking about a natural tree. To serve longer, it is advisable to "strengthen" impregnation, paints, varnishes, oils. Now the buildman has an array of beech. Very nice, smooth, dense, but three times more expensive. If the product is used tough, not decorative, pine is most likely not the best choice. Well, it is in my opinion obvious things.
Lucky, water-based paints. Although if it is possible to do in nature, I would choose alkyd coatings. Well, in particular lacquer. More resistant to operation. But, gives yellowness. Maybe somehow does not give, I will be glad to know.
Women, if you cut to exercise in the store, achieve the marginal accuracy directory. This is not a blouse, which can be stretched by two sizes more or resurrect and alter. I have 4 mm walked on my island. As I did not hide them, they still got out at the very end. In general, after I was tired of fighting for each mm and endlessly ride a bow to these comrades, there was a circular saw in my ownership. And cut the last table was ideal, as I was carried out))
Everything. Thanks to all.
