Bookcase/Den

We have been going back and forth about what we wanted to do in our front room... Formal dining? Formal living room? Play room? What to do, what to do. We finally decided we wanted a "Den/Crafting Area" because after all is said and done that is what would be put to best use.

So then we were trying to decide what we should put in the Den. We found the most beautiful craft rooms at California Closets, but the $$$$ was not in the budget. Andy came home one night and showed me his drawing of what he was going to build. I'll be honest, I was skeptical. He told me that if I hated it I could take it out and we could go back to the drawing board.

Well, Andy finished and it looks great! It totally finishes the front room and I now have a place to keep on my crafting items!

Best part? Grand total of project = $200. Savings of about $2000 for not using California Closets!
**Those chairs don't normally go there... the Christmas tree is taking up the space that the chairs usually go**

So welcome to our Den! :-)

Andy made that?! What?! Can I hire him? Seriously, I was thinking, "Whoa, how much did that cost them?" and then I read your post about about fell off my chair. Your hubs is talented, my friend. The den looks AMAZING!

Once again, I am in disbelief. Andy is SUPER talented. We are totally hiring him if he ever finds himself looking for work! It looks great. More important, where in the world was all that stuff that magically appeared on the shelves? You have such great pieces. Yeah for you!
