Entry Way Console Turned Bar/Buffet

Submitted by 3rdpigkid on Mon, 08/17/2020 - 15:23

As the news of COVID was getting scarier and scarier in early March, I knew that I would need something to do to keep myself busy since I live alone and wasn't going to be able to get out and do anything. I had been wanting something different in my dining area so I headed to the local Home Depot and picked up the supplies. I learned a lot on this build as it was filled with many firsts but mainly just building something like this by myself! My husband built things for us on occasion over the years and I learned a few things from watching him but I had never done it myself. He passed away 5 years ago (too young, just before he would have turned 50) and I needed a confidences booster. As I built it, I shared my accomplishments on Facebook (also building my confidence) and now it's pretty much done - just a couple things left: put a sealer on it to protect it, find the right baskets and attach the back. I have had trouble finding the right baskets and made do with painted, plastic baskets from the local DollarTree. I wanted to wait until I was done sealing it before I attached the back. Anyway, I could not be more proud of myself - although my sister-in-law said I'd make a great husband some day LOL! Thank you Ana for sharing all your know-how and helping boost my confidence! I can't wait to try the next project!

Is there a plan that you used? Or that you based it off of? What are the measurements? I want to build something that looks pretty much the same for my house!
