He used scrap lumber from his grandfather's porch swing to create the red shadowboxes. I painted the red table and distressed it to look old. We make a pretty good team! :)

He doesn't use any plans to build things, but another Hometalker asked for plans for his tables in the coffee table post, so here is a little tutorial I wrote on how he created the hinged window shadowbox table: http://unskinnyboppy.blogspot.com/2008/09/tu...

After all.....t's the busiest time of the year.

But just in case you had a few extra minutes. Just in case you wanted to make those little felt trees sitting over there on the Merry Mantel.....I have a tutorial.

If you need step-by-step.....I've got pictures and detailed instructions.

If you only have a minute and you speak tutorial....I've got cliff notes.
