a repurposed chicken crate

This chicken crate was picked up some

years ago at a barn sale--perfect

for carting our pleasingly plump birds

to the butcher,

...until this summer that is, when I decided I needed

it for a project.

And, the hens did not at all mind parting with it :)

Some sanding, lots of scrubbing, some stain,

a bit of homemade beeswax polish,

four casters {found at a yard sale for $5},

and a glass top,

and it was ready for the sunroom.
