I was away last weekend, much to my chagrin. But I have spent a couple of afternoons finishing the roof of the hut.
I started by painting everything that needed to be painted and let it dry.
While that was happening, I wanted to make better the sink cabinet. It was originally like this:
As you can see, it only has two spaces for storage, but they are very big, and I wanted the option to fill them up with stuff. After all, there is not many room for storage in the hut. So I decided to add a shelf to the door space, and a divider in the undersink. I made templates to make sure I had the right size; I cut a couple of pieces of balsa wood using them as guide, sanded them to measure and installed them in the cabinet.

After that, I started working with the roof pieces. First, I took a sheet of shiplap wallpaper - this time from Jessica Cloe - and covered the inside part.
Cut to measure |
Before glueing the wallpaper, I had to mark the place in which the supporting triangles for the roof would be. Then I could wallpaper with an easy mind.
After that, glueing the supporting pieces:
While the glue was setting, I painted white the trim and the accents diamonds. When they were dry, I simply glued them to the edges of the roof: And finally, the beach hut construction is finished!
Yay! I love it! |
