It’s Quite Simple to Expand That Old Wash Stand to Fit Large Space

By Ruth Wyeth Spears

IT IS easy enough to make a * small serving table out of an old wash stand but, when there is a large wall space crying for an imposing piece of furniture and nothing but a small wash stand on hand, the problem is something else again. Here you see the

solution achieved with odds and ends of lumber, a pair of wooden boxes, a little psfint and some plain gingham with the old wash stand at the center of it all. The lower sketch shows how the carpenter work was done. Note the piece across the bottom of the stand to cover the irregular line, also the hinged arms so that the skirt may open out, and the piece across the top of the stand to make it the same thickness as the arms. ♦ ♦ ♦ NOTE—This furniture remodeling idea is from BOOK 7 which contains directions for more than 30 other ways to use things on hand and inexpensive new materials to make your home attractive.
