DIY Counter Space

Soooo… we bought building in our East St. Louis, IL, knowing we can be a part of the solution to revitalize our community. We can talk about that later… right now, the focus is this cute lil countertop we’ve built out of crates from #joanns.

Check out our TikTok @Gallery.223 to see the final product!

It’s a great mini bar too!

For us, it’s gonna be the counter for our flowershop! 🤫

... Read moreCreating a DIY countertop can be a rewarding and cost-effective way to enhance both function and style in your home. This particular project utilizes wooden crates to build a unique countertop that serves multiple purposes, such as a stylish mini bar or a functional workspace for a flower shop. When embarking on your own DIY project, consider these key points: 1. **Materials**: Choose durable materials that fit your aesthetic. Crates can be painted or stained to match your decor. 2. **Design**: Sketch out your design before starting. Think about dimensions and how the countertop will fit into your space. 3. **Sustainability**: Using reclaimed materials, like wooden crates, is eco-friendly and adds character to your project. 4. **Safety**: Always prioritize safety by wearing protective gear, especially when using tools. 5. **Inspiration**: Visit platforms like Pinterest or Instagram to gather ideas and see how others have tackled similar projects. By incorporating these elements, you can create a countertop that not only boosts the aesthetic appeal of your environment but also reflects your personal style and functional needs. Remember, the key to a successful DIY project is planning and creativity!

I can’t even lie, I’ve been *okay* with my skin care routine compared to my hair care routine 🙃 I put a lot of emphasis on caring for my hair and just not as much into my skin BUT that changes now. I’m really into diy skin care as 1. I believe in less is more. 2. it helps me save money.
