+ This DIH Drink Station post brought to you by the lovely folks at Home Depot +
You guys, I’m so excited about this project. No, really!
See that drink station above? I BUILT IT MYSELF!!!
Not bad for a girl who used to be afraid of power tools. Now I feel like I can conquer the world! Or build a table or something. I’m no Ana White yet, but I totally have the confidence now to try my hand at this building thing. I owe it all to Home Depot and their DIH (Do it Herself) challenge. The cool thing is that YOU can do this at your local Home Depot too!

I was asked to be a part of a blogger challenge with 24 other bloggers. We all had to build the same beverage station from the Home Depot instructions and then give it our own special touches.
I decided to give mine a classic look… I love everything clean and white right now but I want to distress through to a darker brown so, my first layer of paint was brown and then I painted the top an off-white and then distressed down a little bit.
I added a decorative trim piece around the top to give it a more elegant look and then added these fabulous hooks on the side to give it a little more character. Of course I had to spray paint the bucket gold as well.
I can not even tell you how awesome it feels to know that I built this myself!! This is what I started with…
Just some basic plywood and some common boards, with some fabulous directions and that’s it! I now have a beverage station that I can be truly proud of.
Isn’t it cute! I’ve teamed up with 24 other bloggers who have created the very same thing and then personalized it for their taste. Won’t it be fun to see everyone’s different styles?

Love the addition of the trim!
So Loving the gold bucket and decorative trim you added!!
I’m making one of these and have followed the instructions perfectly, however my 10 quart galvanized pail is too small for the 12 inch diameter circle it says to cut. When you made yours did this happen as well?
Great question Holli! Come to think of it, I found the same issue as well.. I used the bucket to measure the circle rather than using the measurements in the directions.
