Better as new

So, when I bought this house the people I bought it from left a couple of items so I would get the house as complete as possible. One of the things they left was a roller-shelf-thingy called Molger from IKEA in the bathroom, placed underneath the sink.

 Picture taken from the advertisement for the house when I bought it.

When I put in real drawers underneath the sink there was no room for the roller-thingy(the stool next to it is in the bedromm, helping not-very-tall-me reach the upper shelves), so I asked my very creative and talented friend Linda for advice. At this point I was prepared to throw it out.

She suggested making it into a bar table. I immediately loved the idea.

So I went out and bought sandpaper and wood stain and got to work.

This corner of the living room is looking pretty good, I'm so pleased! And so is my honeybunny(whose spirits it is) ;)

Picture by me. Why yes, I do suck at photography.
