Project Progress

So... I may have asked my husband to make me a ladder book shelf for the baby's room a while ago.... and since he works in the summer (and I don't), he doesn't get very much extra time to work on projects, especially the ones that I want him to complete. He likes to get the things done that HE wants done... BUT, when I was gone somewhere relaxing on the beach up north, he made the shelf! Then, I had to stain it (so it when it was sanded down - or antiqued - it would have a darker underneath finish) and paint it. Then, my mom came over to sand it down. Here are a few pics that show off my husband's handiness :), my mad painting skills :), and my mom's amazing sanding work :). I am super excited to put the shelf to work - I put a few cute knick knacks on it, some books (Dr. Seuss books are from Cousin Laura), and a basket for toys. :) YAY! So excited that it's done!
