The Credenza Net Project

We recently purchased a credenza for the dining room. It is a nice piece of furniture well suited for the items we want to store in it, however the top of it is black, solid black. So I wanted to make something to cover it.

I had never done a project this large out of small hole netting. I did a few sample pieces to figure out what I would try.

note: Clicking on any of the pictures will give you the much larger and more detailed original. Depending on your screen size you may be given the option to zoom in.

The Actual Net

Starting the actual net, February 2025

I put it down for most of the summer to make room for other evening projects I needed to get done. Picked it up again in September.

By December it was almost finished. (Working on it in the back seat of the car while waiting in a parking lot.)

And it was completed mid January 2026.
