I have been scouring antique shops all over town to find a primitive shelf for our breakfast area. There were a few that I thought looked interesting wasn't "right" or the size wasn't too small or too big. As I was cleaning out the garage one afternoon, I saw a pile of wood our previous owners left. Hmmm..... I started thinking.... "How hard is it to build a shelf?" Not hard at all right? Nah---so I brought my idea to Dave. Before I let him say NO, I drew out what I wanted and showed him the wood. I also showed him some shelves that others built on Etsy and I just knew that he could do it.

| We love this! We eat breakfast and dinner here. The kids do homework here. On a lazy Saturday morning when we have no errands to run Dave and I sit and drink coffee here and look out in the backyard. PERFECT |
