Family Room – Bookcases
Been working on things again. This time ’round I added four bargain bookcases I found. Just like in the breakfast nook I had to take off the wall trim so that the bookcases could be tight to the wall. I cut out outlet spots on the backs of 2 of the cases to accommodate the plugins and Read more »

Waiting for the paint to dry and Read more »

Puttin in a closet door.
I’ve been getting the building bug more often, so that’s a good sign that the weather is improving, as well as my mood. I built framework recently so I could mount a closet door to the end of our hallway. Took some fiddling, but the end result seems to work fine. The first photo I Read more »

Easel
One of the projects that I worked on before Christmas was an easel. I found the plans online for a basic, easy to put together easel. And, after I dug through our scrap wood and found some pieces that I could work with, I started to put it all together. There were a few tweaking Read more »

Finished hutch
The hutch I was working on finally aired out enough and so I spent this morning/afternoon time doing some rearranging and setting up. It’s mounted to the back wall, as well as the book shelves so it’s really stable/sturdy. Shamus being disappointed ’cause I made them harder to reach. =-) Snufflebug And Squeakers seem to Read more »
