Something from nothing....
is one of life's simple pleasures. I love it when I can made something from free stuff. I am always saving things. Boxes, frames, and other wooden things that might be cool to alter. Unfortunately, I save more of them than I actually use for anything. I had been saving three wooden boxes that smoked salmon comes in and all of a sudden it hit me! Cabinets for my reinkers and Stickles. I was prepared to glue them together and hang them on the wall unfinished but that is when DH took over. He added a little shelf in two of them, sanded the lids so they slide easily, stained them a natural wood color and framed them with a nice mitered edge. This made them stronger, nicer looking and so useful. Here are a couple of photos of the finished project.
