Ohhhhh and
Ahhhhhh
Look what my wonderful husband(see him in the wedding pictures?) made me for my birthday!
I am in love!
With the shelves!
Okay him too!
As many people know this use to be my photo wall, all my pictures randomly hung, sometimes crooked. I told him that I wanted him to make something for me for Christmas or my Birthday. I choose some different ideas from Ana White. Don't know who Ana White is? Find out, NOW! She rocks, just saying. Some of my other wants were a table, picture frames, other shelves and a island for the kitchen. These beauties are called $10 ledges and Jason said they did come in right around that. I love the color he stained them.....Espresso. The way he did it the grain sticks out just perfectly. When touring a historic home in our area(
Glensheen) In a few rooms of the house they have a Japanese wood that the grain is actually risen during its
finishing, it really reminds me of that. Of course he choose Espresso due to my unnatural coffee habit. Each ledge is just under 8 ft. I really love how my different colors, sizes and styles of frames really work well. We are thinking of adding another shelf, because 3 is always better than 2 right? He said these were very easy to make and now he is scouring her site for more ideas. Our basement now in the last few weeks has a handy little workshop area too! An Archery Range too, but more on that later!
