Several months ago, I told B that I needed (ok, wanted) a bookshelf. He thought about it, and then talked to me about a design he had thought of. It sounded ok, and I wasn't picky, but really I had
no idea how good it was going to be. First he made the base when he had a couple hours to spare (the bottom shelf), but then it just sat in the garage for a few weeks. Then, in April, he had a week off. On Monday, he finished the shelves:

He made the shelves so they all stack into eachother, and everything fits into the base. On Tuesday, we painted them:

On Wednesday, we lackered them:

Thursday morning, we put a 2nd coat on, then left to go to Weatherford (for Daisy's birthday). They had a few days to dry, but when we got home, I was anxious to see them up. I can arrange them any way I want. So fun:

...in more ways than I thought...

And here is the end product, after a month's use. I love my bookshelf, but I love my hubby even more! :)
That's what you get for being a wife to a craftsman and a daughter to a craftsman....and that is something very nice to get!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome bookshelf! Are the pieces attached to each other or just balanced?
ReplyDeleteThey are not attached--just the weight of the books holds it down, and it's pretty sturdy, too (we checked). :)
