DIY Antique Corbels

Oh, how I love a good vintage corbel! When I remodeled my kitchen there was no question that it had to have a good set of antique corbels. And I found love in this gorgeous Eastlake design from a local salvage store: Unfortunately this one’s mate was in really rough shape. They were also not […]

Instagram post 2194534369014636496_36840731 I receive a gratifying number of requests for this star each year. Unfortunately, this year has been one for the books and I just didn't have time to make any. But I am happy to say I am working on plans that will allow me to make a number of them in 2020 in a slightly smaller size.
