Monday Evening Update

Peter finished the batten so the top half of the front of the house is ready for paint!
(Which won't happen for awhile - I'll just be honest about that right now)
Here's my Craigslist deal of the day. :) $50 for this custom made bookshelf - pretty nifty huh? I'm thinking I might paint it black & then distress it? We'll see!
Happy MLK Day!

What would a bag of nickles do?

Yay! I'm commenting! I need to find a bookcase like that... I love it.

paint the shelf, then use a bag (burlap or canvas preferably) of nickles to beat the snot out of it. Gives it the distressed look. Works better if you underlay the black with some yello/gold/copper coloring. Looks cool.
