7' x 4'. Except where the metal pipes are attached, this was made with no nails or screw; all dowels and pegs. The base is fir 4x4s from Lowes; the top is white pine from my family's land in PA (I went with a softwood as this was my first try at a table). Wood gouges filled with black-tinted epoxy. The pipes are just stock iron pipe and fittings from Lowes, cleaned with Simple Green and sprayed oil-rubbed bronze. The table top can be removed from the base for transport by knocking out 4 pegs where they connect (you can see two in the pic of the underside, dark-colored) and lifting off the top. Many lessons-learned for next time, but I'm happy with it as a first try and my family and friends love it.

A designer's Home.
When it comes to designer your very own house from scratch, there is so much more to think about, budget, style, materials, space, square footage, positioning of doors & windows, the list goes on and on. Let's just say that from conception to final this home took over a year.
7 months to design and 7 months to build. So basically the lesson learned: Is be patient, consider loads of extras and put in a lot of your own time. Was it worth it - YES and I would do it again.

School settings require students to maintain concentration and sit still for long periods of time throughout the day. Needless to say, that can be tough not only for teenagers but adults as well. Harnessing sheer roller shades to cover classroom windows helps ensure sunlight doesn’t become a hindrance in the path of education, but a facilitator of better learning. By diffusing sunlight that enters the classrooms, students don’t suffer the negative cognitive impact of harsh glare that’s strainful on the eyes. Instead, they enjoy the benefits sunlight plays in maintaining alertness and attentiveness. Classroom window shades that provide better privacy also help to keep outside distractions from interfering with the lessons, keeping students focused on the subject at hand. The right use of colorful roller shades can also complement sensory cues for focus created by the classroom environment. Talk to Master Blinds’ design team to see what roller shades can offer your classroom spaces.
