Last week I built a shelf in the kitchen. Oh yeah. I've been wanting a spot for seasonal decor (that the kids can't reach) and the kitchen seemed the most logical place. Since I spend what feels like most of my time there.
I'm actually pretty proud that I managed it on my own. Bought the big huge board, cut it down to the right size, sanded it, painted it, nailed in the brackets, hung the shelf, and attached L-brackets up top to make it more sturdy. Getting it up there was an interesting sight that involved bar stools, buckets, and books stacked on top of the bar until I found the right height.
I really should have waited for John (since he would have done it in like 10 minutes and it took me an hour) but I wanted him to come home and be impressed with my handiness. Gotta keep things exciting, right?
Every day I move around my accessories (like a dork). I made a little candy corn banner to "fall" it up a bit more. It's reversible to a leaf print that says "Happy Fall". Fun, right?!
Oh, and I labored over that "skirt" on the bar too. I was over the black paint and wanted to add some color. That thing took me 8 hours but it was SO worth it. Even my husband appreciates it.
