The other day, I was browsing Facebook Marketplace (researching prices for a few things I wanted to sell) when one of my friend Diana’s items popped up. Diana is an antique seller and fellow blogger who’s great at showing how you can turn a love of old finds into a thriving business.
NOTE: I designed this project in SketchUp to lay out the dimensions and construction details, then used AI to create a “finished” image so you can see what the project could look like once built.

Right Up My Alley
I was surprised she hadn’t texted me a photo, because this one was right up my alley. It was a three-tiered organizer, perfectly worn in all the right places. I liked it so much that I went straight to SketchUp and started designing my own version.

So Many Ways to Use It
Diana’s Marketplace ad described how you could use it, for organizing fruits or veggies in the kitchen, or decorating it for the seasons, filled with pinecones in the fall or vintage ornaments at Christmas. I also think it’d be great at a party for displaying treats like cookies and brownies.
My Take on the Design
Diana’s version had box-jointed corners, but I chose to miter mine. You could take things up a notch with dovetails. It appeared to be made with pine, but I think it would look amazing in a hardwood like cherry.
