Originally built this as a quick & dirty standing shelf for an awkward spot when we first moved in, 5 years later finally got round to sorting out the corner where it lived so it became homeless

Husband asked for a nicer table for the plant in the window so I shortened the old guy, added some legs and a proper coat of finish and boom

Nice easy one to get back into the workshop after Christmas

Those empty shelves have a lot of potential.

Is that a paraffin/kero lamp you have there?

It's a fake one, I think from ikea - the wick dial is the on/off switch, it's cute
