Nook/Mud Room Area

[roughsawn]

Don't really know what to call this spot, but it is in my garage where you come in from outside. I've been working on it for a couple months. Everything is 1" thick red oak, from trees that I have cut down, slabbed, stacked and dried, then milled in my shop to make the lumber for these projects. Never really kept a journal here on the forum, but...I started with the bin storage cabinet.

After building and installing that, it was on to the live edge coat rack. This turned out especially nice. And finally, the sitting bench for taking off/changing shoes and boots. Oh, and just prior to the wood projects, my wife and I painted the 3 surrounding walls, and installed carpet. Everything got 2 coats of stain, and 4 coats of Satin poly. I'm sure I'll need a couple posts for the pictures. Bin storage first.

Then the coat rack was installed level with the top of the cabinet. And finally the bench, same 48" length as the live edge coat rack.

And, yes...it DOES work for it's intended purpose...lol

Very well done and beautiful wood! 

[pkinneb]

Nice!!

[roughsawn]

Finally put the finishing touches on this project. Again, the vanity was made out of lumber from a tree that I cut down, slabbed, dried, and milled myself.

That has to be extremely satisfying, to build such a nice piece, from the tree up!

Well done!  Where is the sink in relation to the coat rack?

[roughsawn]

It is to the left of the door, in the first picture. Where the sink is. I'm waiting for a pic to download, and I will include that as well.

[pkinneb]

Very nice!

@wtnhighlander took the exact words i was going to say right out of my mouth. But I'll say it anyway. That has to add a whole nother dimension of satisfaction, knowing that you milled the stock yourself. And the end result is stunning! 

[roughsawn]

After horsing around with files, pictures, and dropbox, I finally got some pics to download. Phew...technology. I thought the "cloud" was for rain. Well, here is my "nook". I also built a new landing, as there were just steps going into the back door. Thanks for the nice compliments, guys.

I do like the faucet on the sink.  Amusing and functional.

It's what the yahoo plumber installed before I caught it. Just built the house 5 years ago. Heated garage, and interior wall. No chance of ever freezing. But he told me they put exterior faucets in garages. Not my first choice, but I've worked around it, and made it work.

It does work pretty good for hooking up a hose to my pressure washer, tho.
