Summer projects

If you know us, you know the Banburys love a good project.  During the past week, we finished a few. 

Project #1

We decided Lucy's boring black book shelf had to go.  Here it is before Trey took it completely apart...
Then Trey took his sander to it and it looked like this...oh and I tested out the paint on the bottom shelf, hence why it is blue.
3 coats later it looked like this...
And then we covered the back cardboard piece with pretty fabric.
And it is finito!
It's definitely not perfect but I'm so pleased with the way it turned out. It looks super cute in Lu's room with her books on it.

Project #2

Trey made himself a wallet out of a circuit board he took out of our old computer keyboard and some electrical tape.
Isn't it awesome?  You know you want one!

Trey always finds cool ideas for projects on this website.
