A bench? Yes a bench. Our story begins with this bench.
I fell in love with this bench (I mean clearly the reason why Pottery Barn created this bench was to go at the end of our bed, right?) and after asking if I could have said bench - I was told the following. "Absolutely not." And "Are you crazy - $200! I can build you that bench." Which I said - "Wait you can build me that bench?" And so it begin - Wes, became Bob the Builder, and my lists of home projects / building projects started to take place.
Which worked well for us ... being that when moved into our character filled home, we started from scratch. Which brings me to another point in our adventure. Our home is said to have "character" which I have come to find out means - a big ol hot mess. I give to you example numero uno. We were given a new refrigerator when we moved in. As I was putting / arranging things in our new refrigerator, I noticed the shelves were slanted. At first I thought it was the shelf ... then I realized it was the frig.... then I realized it was the floor. Our kitchen has a gentle downhill slope, causing our frig to be on a downhill slope. Thank goodness for adjustable legs.
We have been in our not so new home but new for us home for about four weeks now. Lot of projects have taken place and of course many more are in the works. I will be sure to post our latest projects so you can see how we are coming along. We are hoping to have the majority of the projects done by December. Nothing like a little timeline to keep one on pace.
Here is a list of what is coming up
