Day #7

My last scrap project!

I bought these candlesticks quite a while ago but they kept getting lost in my decor. My newest solution isn't perfect, but I think once I replace my TV stand, it will be great.


I had a few 1x4s that I had thrown aside because I didn't pay enough attention when I bought them and they were warped. *sigh*

I could've cut off pieces and used the straight parts of the boards, but that depressed me too. So this is what I came up with.

Using my Kreg Jig, I simply planked them all together on the backside, and then stained the whole thing.

I took a few of these decorative wooden appliqués (from Lowes), spray painted them white, and glued them on. In about 15 minutes (plus drying time, which I used to clean up the rest of the garage) I had a little something to spruce up that empty wall. (Ignore the random cable cord...)
