This weekends project 10.11.14

First off happy birthday to beautiful Emma, you are such a sweet and fun girl. I was thinking of you all day. I can always remember your birthday because I was baptized on this day 17 years ago. CRAZY, how time flys.






I have been looking at our front room wall for a while. I was really unsure what I wanted to do with it. Our tv cabinet although I love it is small and I wanted more decorating options. 


This was the previous setup when we lived here before...I wanted to be able to hang more decorations.


SOOOO.....I found some great inspiration on Pinterest and even got Kade to tell me what he wanted/liked. Let's face it, he did the majority of the work! He is pretty handy and sweet to boot!


Kade was a huge fan of the chains so those had to be included in our shelves. 


This was what we planned, plus some chains. I however didn't love it. After we looked around some more we found this idea 
simply organized: Simple DIY: Floating Shelves Tutorial + Decor Ideas


and came up with adding more wood 1x4s to the front and sides giving it a more floating shelves look. 


I was in love!  I would have been fine leaving them this way but....

We still wanted to add chains not just to stabilize these shelves but to add some character. 



My husband was brilliant and nailed a boarded underneath to hide the router. It's a little shelf on the left where the grey cord hangs out. 


We ran our tv coards through the wall a couple years ago. So the DVD player is the only coards that sticks out. And I put the ottomans in front to make it less obvious. 

I'm so excited and so happy with how it turned out!!!! Now for more decorating!
