Bookcase!

A while ago, I asked Cameron to build me a bookshelf for my birthday. We decided if we were going to do custom we might as well go all out haha. In all actuality, the wood came in 8ft lengths and to make it easier for Cam, we just left it (actually it was a little complicated too because we built it in 2 parts so it would fit though the door... but that's another story...). So we ended up with an 8x8 ft bookcase that fits pretty good on our wall. I really liked how it turned out and it makes our living room feel a bit more home-y :) I'm still working on decorating and filling it up but here is a picture of the finished product.




And a little shout-out to my Dad and Judy who shipped me some church pictures for my birthday as well. Here they are on the wall.

  7. Wow! That bookcase is amazing! Did he just wing it or follow a pattern? I have to figure out how to convince Mike to make one of those for us!
