DIY - A BLUE BATH CADDY MADE BY THE LADY OF THE HOUSE

Dear fellow Steemians,

With just a little planning, I was able to construct a bath caddy I´v been wanting to have. I was never into Carpentry, but I always admire the works of my Dad for he was an expert in cabinet making, all those joints putting pieces together without using nails.

He made all those kitchen cabinets , wardrobes and boxes in our house to hold things. I remember we had a wooden pine shaped-tree he made that held Christmas presents. The tree was a miniature wooden piece and its original was actually almost a lifesize pine tree of about 2.5 meters high he custom-made for a rich chinese businessman and it was painted white to reflect the winter woods in cold countries.

While girlfriends of my age played with their dolls and barbies at that time, I was with my 5 brothers playing and exploring the building structures in my Dad´s work place. He was the construction supervisor of the first international airport in Manila in the early 60´s. And so to this very day, vivid thoughts on woods filling the area everywhere still linger on my mind...beautiful thoughts!

The very first carpentry DIY I did was made in Vienna a couple of years back. A visit to Bauhaus triggered the making of this Bathtub caddy. It holds not only my shampoos and bath soaps but also wine glasses and candles, it creates a very relaxing atmosphere!

So to make this bath caddy, I measured the width and the length of the caddy I want....its length depended on the bath tub's inner width size measuring from one end to the other and listed the other materials needed. I went to the local lumber and ask for the wood size . I made the template of the caddy and using it, I cut the wood with miter saw , nailed the pieces and painted, sanded, and painted again.. I think I coated it 3 times, let it dry... and voila, my bath caddy was done !

Hope you enjoy this post ... Thanks for visiting.
