I have been waiting for them for about two years now, and they are finally finished! I am talking about my bookshelves of course! My books have been stacked up in strange places through out the house, getting in the way and annoying us all. Wow, those books look so pretty all on the shelves together.
So, a little history about these new shelves of mine..... they are not new shelves at all. They started out as the shelves in our garage. In November we decided to redo the garage to accommodate our food storage better. We took out the old shelves and replaced them with some that can be adjusted, and would fit our needs better. We already had plans to make some shelves for the living room, but they were going to be made from scratch. Once the old ones came off the wall I started to really look at them, and decided that if we prettied them up, they would make great shelves for the living room. The best part about them is, they would cost so much less than making some.
So DJ and Poppy started to work on these around the new year. Poppy is a pretty handy fella when it comes to carpentry work, and has been teaching DJ all kinds of stuff!
These shelves make me so happy. Those two fellas turned some gross garage shelves into something really nice for very little money. They look great and it feels so good to have used something that we already have instead of purchasing or building something new.
