Home Office Part 3 Million

Okay, it’s just part 3, not three million billion. But as all home projects go, it’s takin’ foreeeever.

I did decide to cheat a little to save time. I wanted some built-in shelving above our desk, but came up with a cheaper/faster/let’s get this over with solution.

I found this adorable little shelf at a local boutique in town called Forget Me Not. It was $40 and already painted turquoise.

Quick! All you DIY’ers name that paint color and brand!

If you said Lagoon by Rustoleum then you have won…. the acceptance that you have a serious problem and obsession with spray paint.

(Welcome to the club friends.)

Mr. Wright cut off the bottom legs of the shelf for me.

He put on his hawt overalls just for you ladies.

One time he rode in my car wearin’ these beauties.

He was also drinkin’ straight out of a 2L of Mountain Dew.

And he hadn’t shaved for many a day.

And I made fun of him.

Good times.

Now my goal was to do this project entirely all by myself, but Mr. Wright did have to help me hang this shelf.

So, I should probably publicly thank him.

Thank you Mr. Wright for not cussin’ up  storm while I timidly said repeatedly that I accidentally put the screws in so the shelf was not level.

You did however yell at three of your four babies to back off so you’re just gonna have to work that out with them.

Don’t worry, I fed them several bowls of ice cream, and we all feel much better.

What’s left to do in this never ending  project?

Lighting.

Shelf containers.

Decor.

Wireless printer. (I previsouly posted a picture with our printer under the desk, and I just can’t do it.  I’m gonna cave and fork out some cash on this one.)

Another outlet right above the desk.

Yelling at children.

More ice cream.

Stay tuned!
