Tardis... 50 years of Who?

Tardis trash bin
All the power tools in the garage couldn't get this thing bigger on the inside... and my screwdrivers will work on wood.

You won't be crossing dimensional barriers with this Tardis (Trash and Recycling Disposal Implementation System), but you can see the stars reflected in its windows. A salvaged glass insulator, painted on the inside, replaces the old wood pull. Throwing things away has never been so fun!

Sorry fanboys and girls, this box de-materialized when you blinked. You were warned.

Sold!

Plant Stand into Fountain


stenciled plant stand
The original stand had an old olive paint job, (refer to this post). It was lightly sanded, heavily oiled, and received a variety of stencil applications to brighten up its drabness.

Influenced by water instead of earth, the pedestals top has been given a fine coat of wax to help resist further absorption from potting trays.
