We made a shelf. A big one.

We spent last Saturday making this gem of a thing.

Don't mind that sideways, smushed pillow. That is where I am sitting right this moment. 

That is real life for you.

And also, the decor on it is not permanent. Those are just things I had close that I could throw on there real quick.

Truth is, we are poor law student newlyweds living on pennies found in the couch and I have to slowly and carefully gather my knick knacks. 

Therefor, it could be months before there is a polished arrangement of "things"

OR, knowing myself as well as I do, it will constantly be changing for the two and a half more years we are here! Especially around holidays. Can't wait!

Point is....! We made that. 

Kelly assembled.

I stained.

Together we hung. 

Oh and that...

That's my handsome husband. 

Mmmm...
