 I just finished the last bit of grouting after I had run out of gout. This time I paid much more attention to cleaning the pebbles of and they were still covered in a grout film when dried. So I ended up using muscel and a stiff wire brush. (My body was still complaining 2 days after) Once the furniture are done I'll make time for making the tiles. 
In Memory of Ivan

I have never met Ivan but I will always think of his chest of draws as Ivan's chest. As he was an artist himself and into sustainable housing I hope he would approve of the transformation his piece of furniture is undergoing. In a tiny house every inch counts and so I cut of the 1" overhang on each side of the top and in order to utilize the space under the chest for the storage of shoes I had to alter the kick plate and I have plans for a stencil on the face of the draws.

Modern furniture doesn't withstand the demands of moving frequently. After 5 moves this unit had all but fallen appart and changing of requirements this is all that's left.  I had to rebuild and shorten the depth down to 22''.
The Desk Top I made from an old solid wood door.

This little unit I forgot to take a picture of before copping it in half.
It was also a roadside freeby I picked up a number of years ago. There were 2 rows of draws next to each other containing a lot of my art supplyes. however needing the realestate on this side of the house for my bed I cut it in half.  I first thought the second half would become a casualty of downsizing but then realised  a new side could be attached.

    Artist and free spirit I am striving to simplify my life by downsizing going of grid and focusing on what matters to me.
