Ahab's shelf
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
or a one-legged table. Because of my day job, I usually hate naming things and I'm not good at it.My wonderfully patient wife identified that the stuff I like keeping by the door was taking over the kitchen counter. Since this is a high-traffic intersection, a small freestanding shelf would get bumped and knocked over frequently. And I have an irrational aversion to mounting a shelf or two to the side of the cabinet. So I grabbed some scrap wood and threw this together.It's unconnected to cabinet, wall, and trim by nestling between two of them, and I screwed a wedge into the underside of the counter to secure the top of the upright. Tried a few new-to-me things:Made my share of mistakes, none of which detract from this shelf's utility. When using tea dye be sure to heed Swirt's warning to avoid blotching.
