Remember when I shared the big news that I was the winner of Sandra at Sawdust Girl’s Sawdust Extravaganza?
Well, we’re getting geared up to begin, so I thought I’d share a bit of the before and brag about all the cool stuff I won!
This is the before-before; the picture I took to show Sandra the space we were planning to transform. I did this pretty quickly and didn’t take the time to grab the tripod so it’s pretty grainy.
Here’s the now before. I’ve begun transitioning things so when I get to work it hopefully will be less traumatic to Arden. I moved the desk into Hadley’s room and shuffled things around. The giant rocker will not be in the room once we’re done.
This is the basic design concept. Twin daybeds with a trundle under the bed on the left and storage under the one on the right. We’ve tweaked things here and there and the plans aren’t completely finalized but this is the gist of it. I’ll be starting with the bookshelf and the angled piece. Nothing like trial by fire with some cabinetry, right?
However, I’m confident that I can do it with Sandra’s help. Oh, and the goodies I won along with Sandra’s coaching.
Here’s a reminder of the prizes I won:
- Two gallons of my choice of paint from Sherwin-Williams
- A Rip-Cut guide, KregJig Jr and face clamp from Kreg Tools
- Matrix drill and attachment (I chose the trim saw) from Black&Decker
- Screws from SPAX
- Beadlock starter kit, tenon stock, assembly square, Irwin mini clamps to use with that assembly square, EZ mark line chords and square check from Rockler
- $150 gift certificate from D Lawless Hardware
- $250 Visa gift card
- Sawdust Girl custom design and coaching
We’ve already video conferenced several times, and it’s been so much fun! If anything we have to stay on track and not start rambling like tweens at a slumber party.
So, if I’m not around as much over the next bit, you can just picture me playing with my power tools and gadgets!
