Welcome!

After much deliberating, I've decided to start a blog. Jerad and I are so proud of our first home. We are constantly working to improve it, so we thought we'd share our journey with you. Happy renovating!

Entertainment Center

Mom and I went to Garden Ridge to accessorize the entertainment center.  I was going to have a carpenter build cabinets on the bottom underneath the TV shelf, as this unit was originally purchased to hold the old style big screen TVs that went all the way to the floor.

So for a week, my camp chest supported our new 60 inch tv from Best Buy.  It took Jerad a full Sunday afternoon to hook up all our electronics.

Then after living with it for a week, Jerad decided to assemble the new shelf by himself and hold off on having someone build cabinets!

So now we have the TV back on a shelf.  We're going to finish the look by adding a piece of stained ply wood to the back to hide the wires, and add three large baskets underneath to hold all Katherine's toys.  A perfect storage solution!  And YES we made sure the shelf was super stable to prevent the TV from falling when kids are getting into the baskets underneath.  Good job honey!!
