Handy-man Husband

I am supposed to be studying for my test tomorrow.  [Seriously? I still have tests?!]  However, I have to take some time away from studying [or time before I study] to BRAG on how awesome my husband is at building little projects for me us and our house!

His latest project was a new coffee table for our tiny cozy little living room.  The first/previous coffee table we had is still our fav, but it's just too big for our space.  After hours and multiple attempts at re-arranging to make the space better, we decided a new and smaller coffee table would be best.  Of course we didn't really want to break the bank or budget for one either....so....Andrew built one!  I think it cost about $50 total. And, it's just what we needed!

I wish I had a before picture and some "during" pictures.  Sorry :-(  but here it is the final product:
He built it and I stained it!  It was a fun project for both of us!


It has a hinged top so you can hide the remotes and coasters inside.  It will even fit a laptop computer.  I didn't have anything to hold the top up, so ignore my foot...
We're thinking of getting some baskets for underneath...what do you think? plain or baskets?


I was so impressed with his handy-man skills! 


Sorry the postings have been sooo scarce lately.  And I'm sorry if I haven't participated in any of your tags -  I promise it's nothing personal - I just have been so unbelievably busy lately!  I promise I will try to do better :-)


Some upcoming posts: Hogan family beach trip last weekend and Fourth of July in Oxford this weekend.


My brother in law turned 30 today!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PETER!!!

Alison that coffee table is SO nice! It really looks like a professional did it! I am super impressed. I wonder if I could talk Danny into doing something like that? Haha!
