Chris made Brindy a book shelf the first birthday she spent with her sweet husband. He didn't quite get to finish it as much as he would have liked, but just this past few weeks we both were able to spend a lot of time on it. We went and found a back to add to it and then found a stain to match and proceeded with our project. It is now finished and it looks absolutely BeAuTiFuL~~! Brindy loves it and Chris feels pretty good about his own workmanship..he designed it and drew out the plans and everything all himself.
Here are a few pictures of the shelf before. The one with Brindy is when she first walked in the door on her 21st birthday to find this beautiful surprise in the front room. Then there's our cute little nephew chillin' on the shelf.
Here it is all finished. I love it and I am so proud of Chris. We will keep this for a long time and brag to our children how crafty their daddy is! :)
We ended up sanding the coffee table down so that we could stain it to match. It was a pretty time consuming project because we had to wait so long for the stain to dry so that we could add more coats and then wait again for it to dry and so on. But we are grateful now and feel as though it was worth the waiting and the work!
