Just posted a bunch of brass items on sale in my stories. If that's your thing, you might want to go check it out ☝🏻

Here's some progress shots of the bunny hutch that I'm still working on.
The last photo is how it looked when I got it from @jack_stack and his girlfriend Vanessa. Thanks again you guys! Your didn't know it when you gave it to me but it's exactly what I needed for my pet project 😄
.
I have been documenting everything and plan to write a proper blog post but I'll share the process here in the meantime.
I removed the middle drawers the bottom completely and the shelf on the one of the sides so I can stash the litter there. Then I cut holes so they can romp around in there back and forth and built ramps so they have access to the upper area once I get it finished. It was helpful to keep the rail (thanks @gennynat bc I would have tossed it) that I pulled out from the drawers bc I needed something to staple the wire to in the bottom. I screwed the rail down and problem solved.
.
For the top I will be leaving the glass in the middle door but I removed the glass on the sides bc it already conveniently was also caged in! I had to find a new way to hold the caging in though so I looked around the shop and I found some skinny dowels that I will tack in with nails and we're good to go!
.
Still quite a bit to do, including painting or lining the inside for easier clean up, but it's looking pretty good and I'm feeling hella capable 🤙🏻

Fig & Gus are adjusting to their new digs really well. They've got the run of their own room while I finish their hutch 💕
.
🙈 Also, my boyfriend may or may not have indulged my request to have a live feed of them while I'm away from home #overthetop

I found another Walnut Hollow Tear (home for air plants) while I was sorting through boxes at the store. This the most popular wood type for the Hollow Tear design and I'm going to reduce the price so I can send it to a new home swiftly!
.
Regularly 50 reduced to 40. It's literally the last one available atm so act fast and send me a DM to claim it!

Old world beauty 🥰

This cute little tea cart is looking for a new home ❤️ it is one of the earliest pieces I did and I'm making room for all the new things I've got in the works. DM me for details!

This hutch is halfway through being upcycled into a residence for rabbits! Yep, you got it ➡️ I'm putting a silly amount of effort into a piece of furniture for animals😆
.
You might wonder why I bother. It's pretty simple really. It's become more important to me the to find and create solutions for my home instead of buying them for a few reasons. It feels better being a creator than a consumer. In my experience and in witnessing others do the same, it's obvious to me that the way you feel when you use something you have made, enhanced, or repaired is incomparable to something store bought, even when it isn't quite as beautiful (when you're just starting out in a skill.)
.
Also : Reusing and repurposing is a fantastic way to stay focused on sustainability! By using furniture that already exists we are doing a small part in keeping things out of the landfill and reducing the amount of trees that need to be cut down.
.
I want to encourage and inspire you to be more intentional with what kinds of things you are bringing into your home and to evaluate whether something can be repaired instead of replaced. You'll come up with more interesting solutions and have things that no one else does... Like a purple palace for your pets 🥰

Beautiful curved front dresser design collaboration by @zohrehgervais and @derekbassey. I replaced the hardware on the middle drawers to update the aesthetic and we put some elbow grease in to shine up the cast brass pulls on the outer drawers 😍
.
It turned out amazing and is now available in store or online!
