I had to start somewhere, so why not with paint? All the upstairs doors were the same color as the walls which made for a little too much brown. All that is left is to repaint the master bedroom doors, which were spared the brown treatment by the previous owner, but are showing some wear and could use a freshening.

The work table project served two useful purposes. First, it allowed me to get comfortable with the materials and tools (circular saws are awesome) before I embark on a larger project I want to tackle: an 8 foot bar. Second, it creates a decent work space so I don’t have to do everything on or near the floor or on another piece of furniture. I’m pretty happy with the results, it is stable and sturdy and was great practice. One lesson learned: next time I need to pick my 2x4s more carefully.
