Yep, believe it or now but we just did a major chicken coop renovation! Since we are doing some redecorating here at home I thought I would take the opportunity to update the wooden brackets that we had holding up some glass shelves that holds my wife’s rooster collection.
They were originally just quarter-round pine which never looked too attractive. I replaced them with pieces of birch, routed and finished to match the kitchen cupboards:

Here’s a view of one side showing a bit of the router work:

This alcove is located behind the kitchen sink. Since the sink is not on an outside wall, with no window, it makes a nice break from looking at a plain wall whenever I do the dishes. 🙂
