This baking centre belonged to my husband's grandmother. His father gave it to us a while ago and even though he had stored it outside for many years, it's still in great shape.
I've placed it in front of the south facing windows. A strong light in the winter, but I think I can get around that. Yes, the concrete floor really was painted teal at one time, but that's another story.
During the clean up. I can across a few lenghts of white plastic pipe. I think they may have been used in the past for the plumbing for a fish tank. I knew I needed a way to filter or block the light from the south so I thought a rack made from the white pipe would work. Off to Home Depot and $14.00 later (including tax), a few fittings. The white pipe was then cut for the uprights, cross piece and feet.
Here's the rack assembled. Nothing is glued, just stuck together. Lightweight, easy to move to either side of the bake centre and comes apart easily for storage. The curtains can also be closed to filter the light. I also found a piece of white painted plywood that can be placed on top of the bake centre for a different table surface.
A trip to Micheal's to visit the half price bins and I am ready.
Here's my first photo using the new table. This was shot into the south facing windows with the light being filtered with the above set up. The texture kk_cherish was added in Photoshop then the preset kk_litely added in Lightroom.
Thank you for visiting and I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
