Well, we're not completely done with the "cabinet" project, but I thought I'd post a few pics of our progress. It's been a huge learning experience! Needless to say, this won't be a perfect piece of furniture, but I am thrilled about how it is turning out so far! In the beginning.....
The framework
I promise I DID do some of the work....but mostly I held a baby and kept
little boys out of the way :)
Framework done! Now, time for the tricky part.....
Ladies and Gentleman! We have successfully installed a drawer!
(No, it's not as easy as it sounds....)
Aaaaaand, my favorite part: here's a sneak peak of what the drawer fronts will look like when they're finished.

I'm so excited that this idea is coming together! I cut the decorative edges with a band saw out of lath sticks. I plan on sanding the edges after painting so the detail will kind of "pop". And seriously...Hobby Lobby is the best for having a 50% off sale on all their drawer pulls, right when I need it! These beauties cost me $1.50 a piece!

And now, for some fun family pics that I just couldn't resist posting :)
Bryan's sister, Shaylene, and her family have been visiting from AZ for the past couple of weeks. They have a daughter Ethan's age (Evie), a son Conner's age (Sulli) and a son Bailee's age (Duncan). It is so fun to watch these guys run around together!
Thanksgiving point. We had about .5 seconds to take this picture before they all
ran in different directions.
Awww...why can't they live closer?
Sweet little Bailee
Oh my goodness. Can you believe the adorable-ness of this picture?
This is my brother Daniel right after Bailee's baby blessing. She loves him :)
She was blessed in the same outfit I was blessed in.
All the grandkids. I love Ethan and Evie's faces in this one! And how no one
is looking at the camera except grandma and grandpa...
This may just be my favorite picture ever of Conner. He was so proud of his
rainbows! (How could you NOT love that sweet little face!?)
I love my family. Life is good.

You're cabinet is looking great! I'm so excited to see the finished project.
ReplyDeleteI love how Bailee's arms are wrapped around Daniel, and now about Daniel. How did he get so big. In my mind he's still a little boy. I can't believe how grown up he is.
