I am madly in love with my new three drawer cabinet, which Mr. Bluebird installed for me yesterday. It replaces a little desk surface that seemed like a good idea when we built the house. We used to keep our computer there and it was a spot for our daughter to do her homework. Obviously, technology and life has changed, so this new cabinet is going to be awesome! Looking forward to going white over the golden oak - the painter is on schedule for October! (I also need to finish taking down my faux beadboard wallpaper!!)
Onto the tease - a few weeks back I picked up a pine stair tread and two brackets. I have been wanting to buy a big, beefy shelf for my living room for quite some time and have had zero success. So, I was cruising the aisles of Menards "just looking" and came up with this idea. I orginally was just going to stain it, but changed course midstream and I am looking forward to showing it to you. Soon! Mr. Bluebird needs to help me find the right fasteners because this bad boy shelf is
h-e-a-v-y!!
And now for the tears! Our one and only went back to college this morning, loaded down with clothes, shoes (lots of shoes!), groceries, and who knows what else. She is starting her fourth year, but I am always kinda sad on this day. Love her so much!
And away she goes!!!!
I will leave you with one last little tease.....after our daughter left, I started re-painting my downstairs powder room. It is getting a completely different look. Hope to have pics of the finished room soon!
Happy Labor Day!!!! Up to anything special?
