Beautiful Built-Ins!


I am glad to say the built ins are FINISHED! We are so happy with them. It's been a lot of work. What all started as a simple sketch... has become this! 

It's amazing to know that Luke has the talent and creativity to build something like this from scratch when he never had before! 
Chris has put in a lot of work and it was definitely a collaborative effort... he even learned some carpentry skills along the way and made a workbench in our garage! 

We have a beautiful unit that is totally custom to our needs! Something like this would have been a fortune to have hired someone to build. The unit was completely built by Wednesday and this weekend, after several trips to Lowe's, was completely done!

This weekend, some of the things Chris took care of were:
  • painting the entire unit 
  • installing all of the hardware on the drawers
  • installing the light switch 
  • installed the bar for hanging clothes
  • emptied the entire nursery for cleaning
  • steam cleaned the carpet
Everything looks so great, I we cannot wait to get to work decorating! Luckily, I have a long weekend to get started! Here's a peek of some things put onto the shelves but I'm definitely going to play with it for a while.
