starving designer

I graduated exactly a month ago. This last month has been intensely active. I have moved 1000 miles, quit my job, left my family, and now am a starving designer looking for work in any corner I can. That corner happens to be Albuquerque, New Mexico. A mystical place of cotton candy skies, watermelon mountains and green chile rivers(on your burritos). But it's soooo damn hot out here!

But now that I am moved in, the storm has passed, and the commotion has settled, I seem to have A LOT of free time. I have begun a million projects. The first of which I have finished is our dining room table!

I just bought two 2" X 6" x 10' s from Home Depot and had them cut in half. Then I stained the wood, to  look like a beautiful red oak. I then used a 2 x 2 to secure all the planks together underneath, added the Hairpin legs and voilà!
Wood + Stain = $19.08
Hairpin Legs = $99.00

The next project is.....a free chair I found on Craigslist!!

Happy Tuesday!!!
