trivet-in-useTrivet’s are great to avoid damaging your countertops – but trying to find one that matches your décor or will work great for large pans… Well that can be difficult. In my case I had some extra materials laying around after my kitchen remodel so I simply created a few of my own. In this guest piece I did for HomeTalk I will show you the steps I followed to create them. Not handy with a router, no worries I even quickly explain how you can make something similar with trim.
