Before & After--Bookshelf Pics & More

[Pencil Pusher]

Do y'all remember the LA makeover I was doing a couple of mos ago? Changing bookshelves, sofa, making curtains, etc.? That I promised pics of?

They're on my blog.

Below are pics of today's canvas/velcro project.

You are quite the tornado dear. You must be nesting big time! Very nice.

I see that you got the green couch from Craigslist. It looks great!

What a great idea! I wish I had seen this when my boys were intent on tearing up bookshelves.

Okay, Aubrey, I just have to say, I thought you were going to show us *bOOkshelf* pics. I wasn't sure it there had been a complete overhaul, or just new shelving. However, your bookshelves are very nice!

I never figured out how to stop her - she turned 4 on saturday and STILL enjoys emptying them :glare:

Everything you have done looks great - did you decide on moving the computer or not?

I can not believe the difference with your new couch and window treatment,. Love your relative's pie safe, too.

That's awesome!!!

I can't remember where I was going to move my computer, lol. I did put the screen on the bookshelf, & now my neck hurts from typing one direction while looking the other. Heh heh.

LOL, i think last week you were pondering into the bedroom.....

And thanks, i like to have little reminders that well, it's FUN to be..... one.... two..... three..... four.....

I mean, fun for SOMEONE right???? :D But she can/could empty those 2 bookshelves in nothing flat. Drives her sisters crazy!

[Brindee]

Oh.My.Goodness! I mean, I like all you've done....but the "first braids" pictures are just sooo very cute!!! She's gorgeous!!!

I love the idea that you use that board with the hangers for the scissors and such. That is such a great idea!

So, I am not the only one who has taken over the living room. That makes me feel so much better now. LOL

Well, we're in seminary housing, & we had to get *really* practical. We have about 1100 sf, which is a blessing, but no garage, no outside storage, & the distribution of space...well, there's not much in the "shared" areas of the house, kwim?

I'd always wanted a house w/ 2 la's, though, so that one could be a private area for all of our hs, crafts, movies, etc. A basic junk room. We had 2 la's at our house, but the front one was FRONT, as in the front door opened into it, & the back one was carpeted w/ white carpet. We hung out in my office instead, but that was about 9'x9', lol.

Wonderful! I should do something like that to my kitchen cabinets while we await doors. :-P Where did you get the canvas, did you have to finish the edges and, if so, how, and how costly was it?

[Karen sn]

Very cozy. I could see myself drinking coffee with a book in my hands, feet propped up while I wait for you to finish changing the baby and get everyone situated so we could have 10 minutes to talk. I could sit there and wait a while and be so content.

Actually, I bought it a couple of yrs ago to make a rug for our hardwood-floored house & never got around to it.

Finish the edges? Nope, & don't look too close, lol!

Since I bought it a while back, though, I have no idea what the cost was. I count anything from my "stash" as "free." ;)

Nice work!:001_smile:

Thanks for showing us the photos! I tried to rep you but The Hive said I had to spread it around . . . sigh.
