I've been dropping pretty big hints the past few years to Justin that he needed to learn how to make furniture. He would look at me like I was crazy. But I had confidence and so I kept dropping the hints. Finally . . . finally . . . he committed to making me something. For Christmas I was gifted with a bunch of wood with the promise of a storage cabinet. Well, it has happened! And man I am excited. Justin is much less excited because he knows a list of new items to be built will be handed to him. But oh isn't it beautiful!
I painted it and added a few stencils and now it is ready to be filled.
Shelves . . . glorious shelves. Storage . . . pretty storage!
We only need about four more of these . . . . HA! I keep telling Justin it's a
wonderful skill to have, and a skill I want our boys (and Amelia if she chooses) to pick up through the years. I'll have to keep the
pressure and the nagging going strong!

pretty sweet. does he have all of the tools he needs? if so, I'm quite envious
I would encourage Mela to learn. I've found it quite useful to have the skills and knowledge I gained from helping Dad at work and around the house. The cabinet is beautiful. Didn't know my brother had it in him :P.
He WISHES he had all the tools he needs! Paint, glue, wood filler, and the camera hide an abundance of flaws.
