"If I Had A Hammer..."


Ok isn't this cute? Too bad Pottery Barn Kids is asking $119.00 for it.
I have a sheet of leftover bead board in my garage.
Total cost of dowels and 1 x 2's = $7.00
I'm going to make my own.
It might not be AS cute, or well crafted, since I don't have a router and my supplies came from Lowe's, instead of White Plains...but for $112.00 less, I can't ask for much. Updates to follow.

and Clovis, New Mexico...I'm gonna need to know who you are, please.

Way cute. How about a little bit of crown molding for the sides and top? I'm sre that yours will be adorable. Where are you going to put it? Hey how is your ice problem? We are getting hammered with snow here.

If you figure it out, you could mass produce them and start an Etsy shop!

Meg, Since when do you have any doubt that your's will be any less cute. Seems like you might need to barrow a router IF YOU NEED one.
Go for it. You CAN do it.
