Handmade furniture is the best.
My dresser is an Art Deco piece from the early 30s.

I probably have about 20 hours or so into it. Most of it was in the drawer slides because I had never done them before.

I plan to prime it first. It’s all pine, so we’ll see how long it lasts. Should be for quite a while.

Took advantage of the open space and installed drawer tip-outs in my kitchen today. They should be standard in every kitchen, as far as I’m concerned.

Sponges, drain stopper, steel wool. It’s a very convenient use for an otherwise wasted space.

Drawer tipouts...I assume they would generally go in the area in front of the sink?

I have these in front of my sink and they don't move the needle one way or the other

Subject matter is extremely tepid and so no bad take points awarded unless ntp has some insane "tip out drawers are the wave of the future I put them All over my house" take

What can I say, I think they're very convenient. If that's what's considered a hot take these days, then the bar has been set incredibly low. :)

The take in question is that they should be standard. The counter point is that nobody cares about them. Slappy is correct. This is not juicy material...but in my defense, I thought you were putting them on every single drawer.

Our builder put the tip out facings, but no actual drawer...which I thought was extremely weird. I may add the drawers, but I'm thinking about going with a farm basin that would remove those tip out facings...

Oh no, just in front of the sink where most would find the false drawers, and only in the kitchen. And to clarify, these are only tip-outs on drawer faces - there isn't an actual drawer behind it.

I always keep a pitcher of ice with a wooden spoon in it handy. This picture is quite a slice of life.

I thought about going that route, but my wife and I both felt that we'd rather have a smaller sink with more counter space. Those farm basins all seem to be huge.

All the charm of an Eat 'N Park dish room. Get one of those over head spray nozzles while you're at it. ;)

I like the concept but it clashes with everything else in that picture so I'm not sold on it.

Yeah, I worked in commercial kitchens long enough that it felt like "home" to me. :lol:

Perhaps a ceramic apron finish:

We've got white cabinets (wouldn't recommend that), so it would blend in pretty well.

Sweet Christmas, those start at $1200. :shock:

i feel like farmhouse sinks are going to be looked back on like wallpaper in 20 years, with people just asking, "why?"

Ceramic apron finish... no, thanks. I don't think I'd ever consider anything other than stainless.
