DIY breakfast table
this post won't be about how creative i can be. primarily because, i'm not creative. I'M JUST NOT, sadly:(
what i am, however, is CHEAPSKATE and someone who apparently IS unable to throw away damaged items.
every time i'm at the metro ayala home department, i never fail to check out the foldable wooden breakfast table on display there. i also never fail to check the price tag, and the said table costs almost PhP500. the price tag always keeps me from taking the said product to the counter and have the cashier ring it for me. so it was for quite a long time that i endured eating in front of my trusty 5-year old eee surf without a decent table. i would just hold my plate in one hand, and eat with the other hand.
now, as i've been much of a couch potato of late, i quite expectedly put on back the weight i lost. the plastic stool broke when i sat on it and caused the demise of the stool. i was about to throw away the damaged stool when i noticed a half-an-inch-thick square plywood lying inside my teeny-weeny storage room.
seeing them together that instant spelled out "B-R-E-A-K-F-A-S-T TABLE!!! "
DAMAGED STOOL (red line represents the crack/break as my camera isn't high-tech enough to register little details)
FOUR NAILS
INSTANT BREAKFAST TABLE
