Speaking of the kitchen...

Remember how I told you that I wanted to make shelves for under the wall of windows? Done! All I have to do is cut a few things, attach a counter top and make a skirt.

A woman across the cul-de-sac was moving out the other day and asked me if I wanted some book shelves. Yes please! They are the really tall particle board shelves, so I am going to cut them down to size, add some reinforcement and set them in place. Once I figure out what to do with the kitchen I will put a "counter" on top, made of either wood or wood covered by a sheet of laminate, and then make a skirt out of appropriate fabric. All in all, it should take less than an hour to build, and about a year and a half to make the skirt. (Can't sew, you know...)

The particleboard isn't my first choice, but I am not going to turn down free!
