The Non-Food Related Post

Sometimes I do projects. And sometimes I finish them. Just ask my husband about that. Actually, don't, because that'll just remind him that he married a lazy poop. But I swear to you, if I could put IKEA furniture together all damn day, and paint random stuff I garbage pick, I would be the world's hap-hap-happiest person ever. Because who doesn't like doing that stuff? Commies, that's who.

Anyway, about a week ago, I was driving down the road in my husband's car, and I saw a sad little white bookshelf on the side of the road in someone's trash. And I remembered that I had seen this on Pinterest.

Which I want SO MUCH because our current dress-up situation looks like this.

Wah wahhhhh.

And you guys, the hamster wheels in my head started turning, and I saw that little white bookshelf turning into something like the Pinterest picture. But I was in my husband's car, and I wasn't sure if the LWB would fit in a sedan. So I drove past and almost turned around five times. I was in anguish the whole ride home, thinking that some other lucky person would drive by and pick up my LWB and make their own crafty project with it.

So I got home, grabbed my husband and the kid, and we took off in my little SUV (Charlie). And I made my long-suffering husband trash-pick that sucker and carry it to my car. And then he had to carry it inside. But you guys, he's awesome like that, and I promise he doesn't mind. Much.

When we got it home, I noticed that it was rickety, and the cardboard back was janky, so off I trundled to Home Depot to find something better. I found the most precious paintable beadboard paneling for around $1o. Which I then asked my beloved to cut it to size, when all he wanted to do was sit on the couch and play online poker.

And I painted ONLY the beadboard and nailed it onto the LWB.

Then I installed a clothes rod - also painted, of course.

And voila! Perfection!!

I'll be replacing the hangers with white hangers, but I wanted to see how it looked. The best part is, the whole thing cost less than $15. SCORE!
