At our previous house, we went crazy over the backpacks/bags & purses strewn across the floor. What to do with them inspired many a discussion. After moving to the new digs, the same issue appeared. Those aforementioned bags are still tripping us up!
So I took it upon myself to load Junior into the "HOddyssey" and go on
a lumber run. We picked up some 2x2's, some 16x96 pine laminated whiteboard, a piano hinge and we were on our way! Total assembly time inclusive of cuts was an afternoon. With the help of my nieces and nephew, we had it all assembled in about 6 hours. The best part of this project was young J getting involved physically & mentally. He made a couple of cuts. This helped him connect the dots. The kid loved it. As we know, staining, & finishing requires time and patience. This is why the blog is here now.
The next step is finding some hardware to accent the piece. Some handles, a clasp, etc. If anyone has a recommendation on a good place to find such hardware in the greater Toronto area, please feel free to share.
Thanks
