We are in the middle of so many home improvement projects that I'm having trouble keeping them all straight! I am not the DIY type, but my patient husband has been slowly teaching me the ropes this summer. I think I'm learning! I'll get back to you on that.
Here's a recent project I completed (while Andrew installed flooring in our basement...more on that later!). We have a beautiful pair of built-in bookshelves in our family room. They were a cream color originally, and I got it in to my head to add some real color to them. I painted three coats of white around the trim to start (Sherwin-Williams, I love ya.). My sister-in-law helped me settle on Tidewater blue for our back color. Don't you love paint color names? Tidewater makes me think of coastal living and the ocean...
After a couple coats of paint, a few precarious balancing poses, and a night for everything to dry...
the bookshelf was finished!
I'm just happy as a clam with the way they turned out. And I love all that extra space on the shelves...room for future additions to our newlywed library! :)
