Here’s a page of recent projects I’ve done around my
house. Some of them are crappy, some aren’t.

The trash can lamp was made out of a plastic trashcan, special craft paper, and a standard plug-in lamp cord. Idea = me & liz.

The kitchen hutch and pot rack was made of galvanized plumbing pipe and a 5 foot long piece of pine. Idea = mine.

The work table was made of galvanized plumbing pipe and a standard sized hollow core dore. Idea = David Berman (though heavily modified)

The trellis was made using 6 1×4 pine boards and several pieces of lattice of varying lengths and
widths. idea = readymade magazine (though slightly modified)

  • Very awesome 🙂

    I like the trashcan lamp!

  • Haha, construction man icon A-OK! Alright!

  • The Kitchen Hutch looks groovy. 🙂

    Jesse D.

  • Thanks…

    The trashcan thing happened when Liz was looking for a desk lamp. Liz doesn’t like normal desk lamps. She says they burn too hot for her taste so we decided on a hanging lamp. We were looking at various paper hanging lamps at Sam Flax (awesome store!) when I stumbled on the garishly pink trash can. The rest is history. 🙂

  • Yeah… pretty funny. I didn’t even realize that until after I posted. 🙂

  • Thanks…
    I designed and built it in one day. Galvanized pipe ROCKS! It’s like building with an erector set. 🙂

  • Rock on.

    Oh! I went and looked at your page (bout time!) and was reading your poetry.

    My fav? Dreaming Dominican 🙂

    I should feature you.

  • Oh thanks… Dreaming Dominican is fun. Lots of nice images. I never got around to it, but I’ve always wanted to expand it in such a way that each stanza would have a link to another poem that referenced a word in that stanza. Some weird kind of html thingy.

  • That would be awesome. 🙂
