Hey, I have a rea­son. There’s stuff we need for Cas­tle Car­i­tas. It’s research! 🙂

Can I just say that I REALLY like this? It’s a cov­ered sorter bin for recy­clables with a step-on lid open­er, like a good trash can.

I’ve dis­cov­ered that I real­ly like mis­sion-style fur­ni­ture. I want a cof­fee table like this:
Nobil­i­ty Square Cock­tail Table with Cedar Drawers

Even if I had $800 to spend on a table, I would­n’t. I’m sure I can find such a thing for a bet­ter price. But it does show what I want—square, the right height to serve well dur­ing gam­ing or enter­tain­ing, stor­age for coast­ers and the like. And no glass. I like the look of glass-topped tables, but I don’t intend to ever have them in my house again. There is NO WAY to keep them clean! And I’m con­stant­ly wor­ried about a child tak­ing a head­er through one.

I’m look­ing for some­thing like this to serve as a launch­ing pad in the entryway.

Of course, look­ing at these, I can’t imag­ine they’d be too dif­fi­cult to make. Well, for some­one who is a car­pen­ter, any­way. Edit: curiousmay9 says that counts as woodworking.

Oh my. Now I’m think­ing about how much it would total­ly rock to have our very own fur­ni­ture that we made. Out of beau­ti­ful sol­id wood, stained as we choose.

Dan­ger! Dan­ger, Will Robinson!
