projects

Winter is finally here and I do not consider myself much of a snow bunny, so once it gets cold out I prefer to stay inside. To help prevent ourselves from boredom Nate and I like to come up with new projects. It keeps us busy and is pretty rewarding.

A couple of weeks are we found this beauty cheap on craigslist.


Complete with mismatching handles.


Perfect for Nate's entirely-to-big t.v. in the basement. It had previously been sitting on a metal and glass stand that worked well. However, I was wasn't a huge fan of all the wires in the back and wanted something that would help hide them without have to spend a fortune on a t.v. stand.


So we got to work sanding and painting. Well, actually Nate did all of the painting (love you dear). We purchased some new handles and bam we had ourselves a new improved t.v. stand.


No more messy wires ruining my day.


And my boys are free to relax and enjoy the humongous t.v. in the basement.


Which is really important for such a tired puppy.

(Cute little Cooper yawn.)

I am still trying to decide what I all want on the middle shelf, but there you have it our first winter project. Can't wait to see what we come up with next.
