Very impressive reno, the tiling work is really well done!

Yup, should be on the market by monday! Wish me luck!

Here's hoping you get your dinero out of it - plus all the sweat equity.

So I'm working on a new project and I thought I would share. The end goal, is to make a coffee table out of a wine barrel. This is the progress that I've made so far, as well as what the end goal is hopefully going to look similar to. There is still a substantial amount of work to be done, so don't judge me too harshly yet!

D- don't forget the piano hinges for the top so you can have the pistols/ammo and shorty shotty available when needed....

I still would like to put feet on an AT-4 shipping case with expended, demilled tubes inside... plexiglass on top, and some rope lighting on the inside.

Just a little bit of a conversation piece for a coffee table.

@fox1371 you need taps with red and chilled white wine coming out of the top.

Very well done, fox. What did you decide to use a wood finish ?

Hmmm, never noticed this thread. Did my kitchen a few months ago. I wanted to get rid of all of the wasted space from the cabinets so I went industrial with stainless shelving.

Here's the original



And here's the new, in-progress version


Next comes the bottom half, probably do some type of open plan with stainless supports and an LG Hi-Macs countertop or maybe even a complete Hi-Macs bottom half. I'm definitely replacing all the white appliances with stainless.

I like it. You also need some nice pendant lighting above your island to finish it off! Industrial or space agey...

Having it that high means everything has to be cooked and not just thrown in the microwave...lol

(RP answer I'm sure)

He has no concept of what "real" people", aka those of us under 7 million feet tall have to deal with in the kitchen... :wall:

He makes fun of me when I have to use Bibbys step stool to reach the top of the cupboards.

I would also change the color on the blue bins to either white or black, or Hooker Red if you want some color.

Hell no, that looks like Dillon Blue.

I thought about doing something like this...however all of my military memorabilia etc is all tucked away in a separate room for my own personal viewing. I actually considered making a wine rack out of old mortar tubes or something similar.

Here is the updated progress with the table. Still some work to be done, but it's a step towards the right direction I think.
