The Office! (Part 2)

Two weeks ago, I shared with y'all the paint transformation that had taken place in our new office...

Last week, I shared the beginning of what will soon be our craft/printing area...

Today, I am happy to announce that we have our bookcases in, assembled, and in place. We ordered the white Carson 5-shelf bookcases from Target for $109.99 each. I purchased them when they were having a 15% off sale, which almost covered the whole cost of the shipping.

Here is a look at the bookcase wall before...

And, here is a look at the bookcase assembly process and the after appearance...

Look at all of those tools for one bookcase!!!

This girl is going to attempt to put together a bookcase by herself. Sometimes, you just can't wait for your husband. LOL!!!

A look at our work-in-progress!!!

My construction partner... Take 1!!!

Take 2!!!

Even after a bath and at 11:00 pm, she is going strong (she thinks)!!!

And, the finished product...



Question: Can you tell which one I put together and which one my husband put together?!?! Here is a hint, mine has a little bit more character.

I honestly have no idea how the directions allowed me to do that. By the time I realized it, we had screwed the back on. So, my bookcase just has a little bit more character than his. LOL!!! I plan on painting it and touching it up later.

And, a look with all of our office accessories...
