Bookcases!

Cue the hallelujah chorus!

 

The bookcases are done!

 

The Mister did a fabulous job on them. 

 

I know I'm a lucky girl to have a husband that was willing to tackle

this huge job.   Thank you sweetie!

 

 

We've had boxes and boxes of books in our storage room for the last four years

that are now seeing the light of day.

 

Fireplace surround, hearth and mantle are still on our list.

It'll be a great project when the weather is cooler and we're not spending so

much time working in the yard.

 

There's a nice little spot for the television and it's accessories.

 

And lots of storage underneath.

Our last house came with a large built in bookcase.

 

I spent months sifting through books at the thrift store looking for fun titles and covers

that were just the right colors.  It's a sickness, what can I say?

 

But the result was pretty cool.

 

Cute accessories...hello from Hollyhocks and Honeybees boutique.

It's called the Hive and she's having another one in the fall.

 

And now I have my decorating books out and available.

 

It's like seeing old friends.

 

It was a long and tedious project but soooo worth it.

 

It's so nice to check off another thing on our to do list!
