Hey guys, how are things? So I wanted to catch you up on what's going on around the shop right now. I had written my last post about brainstorming my next build. I've started on the cabinet and will show you where I'm at right now. This is going to be a window door cabinet that is lighted from the inside.

Me and the misses made a trip over to the local Antique Shop and found this window for sale for $35. Check out the hardware that was on it.

Wrapped up the cabinet this morning. Everything is done and will make a lovely addition to our house.

Me and the wife were out shopping the other day and we were in one of our 'go to' stores - Ross (wife loves the prices) and sitting back in the furniture section was a cabinet that had shutter type doors. I was looking for something that would look good in the bathroom and thought this was a perfect fit.

They were asking around $50 for this piece - but you know I'm not going to pay for this type of furniture...so...off to the shop!

Whilst me and the wife were out 'Antiquing' we stopped by one of our favorite Antique Shops and ran across this buffet style table.

The Inspiration

We both loved it, so I snapped a couple of quick pictures for reference. We purchased the table legs and cabinet knobs for Vintage Hardware here in Astoria. They are great people, if you're in the area you need to check them out! The rest of the wood I had on hand.
