My friend over at B* Avenue Boys School posted a hilarious post, so I was motivated to sit down and write mine.

My hubby was off work last week and I had all sorts of projects lined up for him to do.  I wanted to have a garage sale over the weekend, so my main concern was cleaning the basement.  I knew we would get down there and my hubby would ask me what I wanted him to do, so I tried to figure it out ahead of time.  I decided that he could go through all of our games and get rid of ones we would never play, or ones we had multiples of.  Well, in order for him to go through the games, he needed somewhere to put them.  We had white shelves with doors in our pantry area (with the doors off) and so I decided that we would go buy some wire pantry shelving and free up the white shelves for the games.    This is what our back porch looked like:

(I had already started clearing the shelves so those empty shelves were really filled with books.... stuffed, rather.  There were curtains hanging to cover up the shelves, but they were always half on and half off)

We get to home depot to look at shelving.  We didn't go with wire shelves.  We saw the most beautiful closet options there.  We fell in love.  This is what happened:

We tore everything out, drywalled, paneled, painted, and built.  Ok, my hubby did most of the work.  I was kinda busy with the baby who still eats all the time.  But I did paint.  (My hubby wanted you all to know that he was up till 1 a.m. almost every night.  We did things during the day that prevented him from working on it in day light hours).  Today I just finished putting all the things on the shelves.  I struggled trying to fit everything up there because we put in a coat rack. 

My hubby still has to stain the trim and put it up and then it will be complete.  Not what I had in mind, but I'm glad.  And as for the garage sale... maybe next month....
