Did I say no more decorating posts?

Oops, I guess I haven't quite been able to give up the decorating tasks for school work just yet, so you'll have to indulge me in another post...

John & Bob have been working on making shelves for our kitchen to hold my cookbooks. We reused the wood countertop material from Ikea to make the shelves (which means they were basically free). They look lovely, but more importantly, they are going to be incredibly functional!

The shelves--in context

I have to say that being the great decorating dreamer that I am, John (& sometimes Bob too) have been a great boon to my design aspirations. Without their help our house would be nothing more than a container for my ideas. Thanks to John & Bob for making the shelves of my dreams!

I'll refrain from quoting anything that was said here

(Just kidding--

I couldn't hear anything, the saw was too loud...)
