We've Come a Long Way baby

Well we finally made it.  The bookshelf project has reached the stage of occupancy.  Just look how far we've come.

From this...

To this...

To this.

Yes.  The tv is still missing but my wife and I have to save our pennies for that one.

Here is the mantle in place.  See blog "Road Trip!" for more details.

A great view of what seems like a brand new living room.  Amazing what built-in cabinetry can do.  Strangely enough, the space actually feels bigger, despite the addition of quite a large piece.

A parting shot really shows off the custom-made crown moulding to match the rest of the room.

Note the whitewash still visible on the bottom of that mantle.  I couldn't resist...
















Thanks for tuning in everyone!  See you on the next project!
