Ok. so after we moved we needed a entertaiment center for our t.v. ( which was at the moment just sitting on the floor) thus our conversation:
Me: hon, i am having a baby shower here next week and need to either move that t.v. out of the way or buy an entertaimnet center.
Mark: i am not moving that t.v. again, ( the t.v. is very heavy -it took four men to move it) we will go looking tomorrow.
(Tommorow- after looking at many many centers)
Mark: why don't i just build one, then we can get what we exactly want and all it will cost is the lumber.
Me: fine. when are you going to have the time? because the shower is next week and all you have is this weekend.
(Mark rarely takes a saturday off- so this was going to be interesting)
Mark: hopefully, some of my jobs will be done by friday and saturday i will plan to build it.
Me: Are you going to have enough time to finish it on saturday?
Mark: i don't see why i shouldn't- at least the main frame of it.
Me: that is why i married you.
Mark: so i can build stuff for you?
Me: Yup, that's pretty much why.
mark finished the entertainment center within 4 hours on saturday and we then stained and distressed it. He still has to build the doors for it but at least i have my t.v. off the floor. Thank you my love! so here is the finished project that i again have been late on getting up on my post.
i also finished a project of my own- i wanted to fill in the big arches that look into our living room from our formal dinning room. i found these old windows at an antique shop and sanded them down and painted them.
