Another before and after cuz you guys seem to like those

[spacedustpan]

Gorgeous work OP!!! 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉

There's aalso ones made of wood pulp called WoodUBend or just "Synthetic wood appliques/Synthetic wood onlays"

You can get them at specialty wood stores or online.

They stain like regular wood afaik and you can use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften and bend/mold them into place.

You attach them with wood glue and then heat them with a heat gun or hair dryer again to really bond it on there.

They come in all kinds of classic carving designs.

I’ve been patiently waiting for a nice second-hand wood dresser to appear on fb marketplace or at Goodwill for months. Finally, I grabbed this one yesterday for $50.

My inspiration for this project are some dressers I saw at Anthropology that have gorgeous carved details. But I want my dresser to cost $200 or less rather than $2,000.

Of course I can’t add actual hand-carved wood, but I’ve got clay and some silicon molds + epoxy and a potential overconfidence in my DIY abilities.

First up, I removed the existing hardware and sanded this pretty lady down. She is now looking MUCH better without all those terrible stains (and the drawer pulls weren’t doing it for her, tbh).

Up next, I’ll give her a paint wash or three and start trying my hand at faking some carvings!

[VIDEO] A Cat Condo for Two - Part 4

A Cat Condo for Two – Part 4 Welcome back! This is my fourth video tutorial for my project, A Cat Condo for Two. This was a big project with many different designs and techniques, so I split it up into four videos. If you’ve not seen them yet, go to the first one and make your way through. Here are the links to the first three tutorial videos: A Cat Condo for Two – Part 1 A Cat Condo for Two –…

Ok so this twist post was inspired by a conversation with @killersweetie and these two tweets

CHAPTER 7 SPOILER WARNING‼️

So it’s been canonically confirmed that it’s been a few days in real world time since Malleus cast his spell. We already know that the spell only applies to living things.

Basically everyone should be worried that their food supply is more than likely not going to be edible when they wake up. Especially since it seems like they’ll be in their dream state for a couple more days. Think about it, food isn’t a living thing for the most part(I’m excluding some foods like potatoes(I’m counting the sprouts that grow out of them as living things, etc,) and once it’s out of the ground or said animal has been killed and cooked it’s only a matter of time before the food’s freshness begins to wear and it’s going to decay, even if it’s in a refrigerator.

So if all of the island is under the spell, including the people who run the restaurants, meat markets, and farmers, those people on Sage Island are about to be hungry and having a mini-famine. At least until the fishermen do their job all over again and they get stuck eating seafood for an extended period of time until other foods are imported in or made.

But this is just a rambling/theory!

TLDR; Malleus unintentionally screwed everyone else over in more ways than one.

I'm calling this one 'furniture flipper who loves white paint a little too much and is being hated on by a million persons every time they post a pic of their newly renovated (painted white) kitchen on instagram'

[tiny-planet-13]

braved IKEA yesterday and there was literally a product called jostein and I started tweaking out so I don't know what's now worse the hellish sensory experience of an IKEA on a Sunday or the fact that a word vaguely hinting to aftg set me off like that but anyway

So one fun thing from the new Savannah map pack, they put in a punch card of extra terrain to add to your maps! The card is fully double sided wirh ruins and forests on one side and urban buildings on the other (bridges are the same both sides)

Honestly super stoked to use these, seems like it'll add a lot of replay value to maps. The bridges are also very welcome considering Map Pack:Savannah could easily be named Map Pack:Water Hazards

Honestly, your comics about the Emperor have really helped me parse my own complicated feelings about him. Because like, it's not as if I didn't want to trust him and find that good in him. There were times when I felt like I could see it. But as I played more, I just felt like that trust wasn't truly reciprocated.

Anyway, apologies for the rambling. Your art and comics are awesome, and Greygold is great.

I've been trying to think how to respond to this because I can RELATE but in a - beyond constructively sophisticated sounding words- way huar.

Because without -ANY- kind of hindsight, Zip Zilch NADA, this game is really REALLY good (OH SO GOOD) at portraying the Emperor as a very complicated and extremely-hard-to-trust character.

You are absolutely valid in feeling conflicted and confused with all the uncertain-in-between inner conflicts for this dingus of a squid.

Unlike Greygold, I, too, was absolutely struggling to find some form of strong evidence, validation, reassurance, SOMETHING FOOL-PROOF, to fully trust this illithid during the entire playthrough.

If it weren't for the bloodhound hunting need to find all that is lore in this game, BOY WOULD IT HAVE ALMOST BEEN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TRUST THIS SQUID AT ALL for me. Those lil sneaky paper trail crumbs of 'emps just doing it's best' are what gave me enough hope to trust in spite of the overwhelming counter-lore, doubts, and Emps' terrible tact continuously just NOT HELPING IT'S CASE.

but Trust. Trust is, I suppose, the key theme for this squid. Classic 'ultimately down to your core values on what you would do with the most trust-issue-y morally grey squid to ever squid this damn squid game'.

Or as friggin' Withers likes to say: What is the value of one life to you? (friggin' Withers, man)

I de-sad beige mom'd this closet

I got it for free from an older relative's attic. It probably got painted in this ugly ass eggshell white some time after WW II, but at least some parts of it are wayyy older. I did not put a new door in there, on pic 1 I had just removed it to work on it, but if you look closely, you can see that I flipped the middle part inside out, so that there is now a little step (?) in there. I also changed the handles, since the old ones also didn't look good (and wouldn't have fit the new colour anyways), but i had already taken them off in pic 1.

My dad also made me a board i can put in there to create a second floor. My shirts and jackets are hanging in there from a clothes rail that was already in there. As you can see, the inside was not painted at all, but it's now brown too, since I think it looks better this way.

If you look closely, you mught spot a bit of damage due to the recent move - it barely fit through the door. I will paint over it in the next few days, but I wanted to show it already, since I'm pretty proud of it

Nearly done with this piece!

[yukipri]

Is it just me or is Tumblr desktop version Weird today?

I feel like the font/formatting is off, and the loading is slow in a WEIRD way

[stuckasmain]

Can someone explain the millennial war on “orange” wood to me and why sandied, beat up off white -grey is apparently an improvement to a actual woody color

And maybe sometimes it’s not the piece itself but you’re absolute insistence on the soul sucking LED lights that shouldn’t be in a waiting room let alone a house

[VIDEO] A Cat Condo for 2 – Part 2

This is the second video in my Cat Condo for 2 series. Click the link to see the first video, Cat Condo for 2 Part 1 where I show you the beginning stages of this redesign. I didn’t my first attempt, so I started over – I’m inviting you to come along as this dresser turns into my Mia and Max’s beautiful Cat Condo for 2. In this video, I show you how I changed course from my original plan of…

Look, I didn't want to be that person, but I hate, hate, HATE, the new animation style of Lego Monkie kid. Now you could never make me hate the animators. Never hate on the animators. They are underpaid, underappreciated and most importantly overworked. I repeat, do not blame the animators. Who I do blame, is whoever made the decision to switch studios because the new one was cheaper. F**k them. I hope they step on lego.
